Without some modification, this metal box is fine for keeping your valuables safe from prying eyes of friends and family, but don't store large amounts of cash or a handgun in it in open sight as the metal is too thin to give real protection from someone who is determined to open it.

perfect size lock box for meds

this combination lock box is just what I was looking for. I wanted something small enough to fit in a drawer or suitcase if I travel to keep meds locked up. this is about the size of a book,and comes with a cable u can attach if your worried about someone just walking away with the whole box. It was very easy to set the combination,and its just a great product. im very glad I decided on this one.

Perfect...

I was looking for a smallish combination safe (since those pesky lock safes can be EASILY picked, unfortunately, no matter what brand you go with) and I am undeniably pleased in every measure with this to keep my medications in. If you lift out the tray liner on the bottom, it offers you even more room and best of all you get to pick your own combination. Just remember to keep it written down and tucked away where you can find it should you forget your combination.

It's such a simplistic thing, I don't know what to say. It does what I need it to do, and the combination was easy to set and it locks like I need it to lock. I love the size because I can travel with it as well as use it in my dorm room, (yes, I'm 47, living in a college dorm room) which is the reason I found myself in need of such a product.

Review 7 for SentrySafe Compact Safe with Combination Lock

Just know you aren't buying a safe.

It's a good looking metal box with a combination lock. Not very strong, but you didn't really expect that did you? Instructions to reset the combination lock were clear and simple. My Glock 17 would not fit- not even close- I doubt any 9mm would, but my Walther 32 fit snugly. Unit fits under the car seat cabled to the seat frame.
Like other reviewers I bought another box for my college aged daughter to use in her dorm. Like.

Great Little Storage Lock Box

I purchased this to keep my medications in when we travel. Made well enought for that purpose and I love the 3 digit combination. Wouldn't be that hard to break it open, it will burn up in a fire, get wet in the rain (poor seal) but it keeps the honest people out, and keep my meds all in one place. Ended up buying a second one (at the local store for my husbands meds. He likes it as well for that purpose.

Review 9 for SentrySafe Compact Safe with Combination Lock

Nice for the money. Don't use for firearms UNLESS:

03/17/2013

Pretty good deal for the money. I know one of the reviews below stated that they store their gun in it, but I don't know that I'd actually advise that. (In fact, if you remove the plastic tray from the bottom, the sticker inside clearly indicates not to store a firearm in it). It's pretty thin (but not too bad) metal and you could easily pry open the rear hinge or simply pry it open.
That being said, when I saw that review, I was intending to do just that. I cross state lines a few times a week between PA and NJ and I can not conceal carry in NJ. It "technically" would meet the requirement for a lockable place to store a firearm "not in the passenger compartment" but it could EASILY be opened with a screwdriver OR.... someone could give a good yank on the safe and pull it right off the included cable, then take it with them and open it later.
HOWEVER, what I did was: Mounted it to the trunk, after I installed/tack welded a "3/4" thick pin" from the bottom of the safe, right through and out the top, (right behind the combination lock). (I'll update the review with a pic if I can). The pin has a hole in it (Like a hitch pin with a larger hole) and I place an additional lock on it.
This makes it very secure AND since it's mounted securely in the trunk, it would take a little bit of work to pry it open by someone, that would have to be bent over / half hanging out of the trunk - ... very awkward but not impossible. I also put in some 2" thick Egg Crate foam and installed it in both the bottom and the top portion of the safe. I can fit both my Ruger LC9 9mm AND my NAA .22 Magnum Mini Revolver (with holster grip folded) in the same safe which is awesome if I happen to have both with me).
If I'm going to be away from the car for some time, I put the other lock on it (In addition to the combo lock on the safe). If I'm just driving place to place, I just use one lock or the other so I can get into it quickly if needed.
For other applications, this modification would be overkill but if you intend to use it for firearm storage, you may need to "beef it up" or look for something heavier duty like a bulldog type of automotive safe - which I have in my other truck - they are great. I bought 3 of these for our 3 other cars and did the mod to each one and am very happy with them.

very basic safe

This safe is very low priced and the quality matches the price. I rate the product as good because it is exceptionally low priced, but the safe itself is not super stout. It will be good enough to keep prying young hands off of valuables, but to a moderately motivated thief it would be easily defeated. It would be good as a portable safe in situations like a hotel.

This safe (box) is a real value for tor those who need to keep prying eyes or fingers, away from
Things that are valued or private. Is it a fire safe with maximum security? N0! But that's not what it is supposed to be. good size for the money for sure. and easy for the owner to change the combination, at any time it is opened. It's not too heavy or cumbersome to transport from place to place. It can be secured easily. Keeping in mind that no save is unbeatable. this one will perform
well for the money.
I plan buy a couple more next month.

I purchased this as a gift for my daughter who is going away to college. It is the perfect size to hold small items such as money, credit cards, gift cards, jewelry and a phone. It came as stated in the time frame quoted.

This safe is perfect for small pistols. Has a removable plastic inserts. Lock is smooth and easy to set and use. The extra metal cable is included and is a nice feature for attaching the mini safe to an immovable object so it can not be easily stolen.
Would recommend this to someone who want to safely store valuables when traveling or that has a small pistol etc. to secure.

The safe itself is great.....the perfect gift for high school graduate heading off to college! That is why I bought a bunch of them to give as gifts to some of my son's friends. I had bought a couple in the store, but when they couldn't get any more in, I decided to purchase the rest from Walmart.com even though they were more expensive than in the store! To my surprise....I paid MORE, and got LESS!!! Each safe was shipped separately in an ugly brown beat up shipping box. And when I opened the boxes, I found only the safe (with no product box) inside! How can I give this as a gift? The ones from the store (which are the exact same product!) cost less and come in a box! So this is fine if you are ordering for your own use. But if you want to give as a gift, find a store that has them in stock and buy there.

It's a much larger box than the image and description lets on. Passports, digital cameras, cell phones -- all sorts can fit into this thing. The combination is easy to program and re-program, and beats having to keep a key.
