Small or large, any safe can be taken away unless you bolt it down. Now that said, this is a good safe given its price, ( i paid 110.) It will definitely keep the kids out, Fort Knox...no. But, for the money I would say it is the best bang for the buck I have seen. Small enough to keep in a closet, large enough to store 7 Glock cases plus ammo. It is kinda heavy, about 50 pounds empty and appears well constructed with the door being the thickest part. Simple but effective design.
The setup is easy, instructions are clear and easy to follow, practice a couple times empty first and then your good to go. You always have the 2 keys, to unlock, just don't lose them and hide the keys as well, just not from yourself.
I would recommend a large hardware store to put a battery powered light inside it, 6.00 bucks, magnet back sticks to inside top or side. And to pick up some bolts. I used 3" 5/16" lag bolts. 1.90 each. Drilled 1//4" pilot hole in floor through carpet and socket wrenched them in with washer. If access to basement is there, use regular bolts with locking washers. The safe has 2 pre-drilled holes in bottom and 2 in the back. You may want to add a couple more holes or not.
Nothing will stop a determined thief but they will have to tear up the floor to get this, and I read where most are in and out fast...so, getting this or breaking into is going to take some time.
Now would I keep lots of cash, family jewels, or gold in here, probably not but it would be better in there than anywhere else in the house unless very well hidden.
It is not fireproof but would seem to be ok short of a total burn down. Can't really say much on that aspect. It is what it is.
I am satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this product for exactly what it is as covered in my review.
