I love the save because it’s the exact size I need for my personal stuff. But I’ve been working for two days to get my safe to close it would lock when the door was open but it wouldn’t lock on the door was closed. I called century save and the girl told me I needed to lay it on its back for 72 hours because the gasket swells if you leave the door open, and yes, I had left the door open, I laid it on his back for actually about four days and sure enough today it locked. They need to put this somewhere in their manual or a sticker on the safe to let people know if you leave the safe open that this gasket will swell so you can’t get it locked.
Overall after a few days of ownership, a solid safe made in China. Be aware that the safe is not considered "water resistant" without bolting it to a floor using their supplied hardware and rubber lined washers. The lag bolts supplied were too small for their specified bit for concrete so double check everything is good from the factory before you drill into the floor.
The safe is very sturdy, but it is missing the hooks and pocket that I have on the smaller size safe, also after almost a month it still smells chemicals when I open the door.
Great safe and perfect for what i am keeping protected. Very strong and theft proof. I would recommend this to everyone that has things they want protected!
I had a problem with opening the safe. The handle became loose and then broke.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
