Cathedral Products DSBA4 UL Certified Lockable A4 Fire & Waterproof Security Chest

This deed box looks to be of good quality and, short of setting fire to it, up to the job. The key is required for the waterproofing to work and it needs to be locked before you can remove the key, but would hardly add to the security. The handle might be a weak point if you are lugging it around a lot. It is quite heavy. This is probably a consequence of the insulation required to make it fireproof. The internal rubber seal on the box is quite stiff and small in profile so not likely to wear. Inside there is ample space and an A4 sheet fits nicely with rather more space at the top and bottom of the pages. All round, for the quite reasonable price, I found nothing to complain about. Recommended.

Chose this item as it looked much sturdier than others on website. Wasn't disappointed. It is a strong heavy box which certainly looks as though it will offer maximum protection. It will not house A4 documents in envelopes without some curvature. However if documents are removed they fit fine. All my important documents are now stored in safe fireproof and waterproof environment. Item was not bought for security reasons so the absence of any method to secure it to floor is irrelevant. A previous review stated that the box was heavy and would need to be placed close to any escape route in the event of a fire. However the whole purpose of this box is to prevent the loss of important documentation or precious belongings and I for one would not be wasting time dragging a heavy box out of the house if a fire occurred. I would rather return and retrieve the box and contents after the fire is extinguished !!!

I have an older, similar but significantly larger case that easily fits A4 documents whilst they are within the envelopes they were sent in. (After opening them, I like to keep the documents in their original envelopes to keep them apart whilst filing them and make it easy to remove a given document / set of papers by picking the correct envelope). This case is smaller than my old one so, whilst A4 documents DO lie flat inside it nicely on their own, they do not quite lie flat if still in their containing envelope as the envelope is obviously slightly larger than A4 - which somewhat ruins my filing system of keeping given documents in their own envelopes! That said, it is a solidly built case and as smaller, it is easier to move around the room than my larger one. All in all, it gets 5 stars all round for quality as it is a great, solid and compact case but 1 star removed from overall total as it does not work for A4 pages if left in their envelopes as described above. (The description does however show the case's internal dimensions so I guess I bear responsibility for this as I should have measured the envelopes (rather than the A4 documents) when checking fit!). Bottom line is do your own measurements and if you just need to store A4 documents lying flat on their own (or smaller things), this is a fantastic case, exactly as their description and for a very accessible price so I recommend it but, if you want to store your documents in envelopes slightly larger than A4 (as required to fit A4 sheets in them), measure the envelopes themselves carefully and compare to the internal dimensions (you will probably find they will not quite lie flat!) or decide on your filing system first!).

Great security box. Bought to hold papers to protect from fire or flooding. Plenty of room to fit A4 size papers without folding. It’s heavy and sturdy and fits perfectly under the bed. Good quality and Value.

My title refers to the fire and waterproof aspect. I hope I never had to report that that actually works. I am when writing this review assuming that it does. The box itself is perfect for popping your deeds into, passport, insurance docs etc. You won't have room for files - just the paperwork. One thing about this box which I've noticed people moan about is the weight of it. It's damn heavy but if I were a burgler I'd think twice about running off with this thing lol. Simply put it in a place that you can easily access it so you don't have to keep moving it around. I think this item is pretty good

We are using this in our motorhome and have found it easy and very accessible to use We would recommend this and is very safe . The size is A4 size and really made well with a sleek appearance with an added bonus of being waterproof

This box certainly satisfies my needs to keep my will and Lasting Powers of Attorney safe from fire. I didn't buy it to keep them safe from thieves, being portable its not really good for that, and previous reviews about the flimsy keys are not relevant to my needs. But what surprised me is how heavy the box is, I had to pick up the box from a DPD pick up location, more about that later, and I struggled to carry it to the car. It looked as the DPD driver also had difficulty and had tried to carry it by the plastic wrapping around the very good packaging, because it was badly torn, though the cardboard box packaging was intact and undamaged. The box itself was completely unblemished. So I am pleased with the box. What I am not pleased about is the delivery and in fact I complained to the seller directly about it. The DPD driver recorded that he had attempted delivery but there was no-one in to sign for the parcel, and that he had left a card and quoted the card number. Whereas he did not call at the house at all, and did not leave a card. He took a photo of our front garden from the street at the rear of our house and I did recognise it, clearly it was our stone wall and our plants, and our lawn. And we had been in at that time that Saturday morning. It would appear that he had just not walked around the corner to our front door, perhaps because he found he couldn't easily carry the parcel? Nevertheless, he (perhaps she) lied about what had occurred and I then had to go and pick it up........ This is not an unusual occurrence with DPD deliveries and I complained to the seller and asked why they used them. Their response was that Amazon made them use DPD, not really a credible position, certainly not one that I believed. I felt that I had been fobbed off. Not good customer service. So product good, delivery experience rubbish, hence only 3 stars.

* Physical This is a HEAVY duty piece of kit for the protection of a4 docs you can't afford to lose. It very heavy, with oversized clasp fastenings. The device is opened with the keys in the lock. It's locked when rotating and removal of the key. There are two keys and make a copy of the number in the safe is to be copied securely in case you lose both of these keys. It does say opening the document safe every month to stop papers going mouldy with trapped humidity. This can cope with extream heat and water protection to an impressive level. It's over-engineered but in a good way. its a fair price and it came quickly to our house. I had an issue with the locking mechanism of this deed safe, but eventually found their contact details and proved a great help. Youtube has a video on how to EASILY repair this locking issue.

altamente recomendable por la seguridad que aporta. el tamaño de capacidad es A4. pero justo justo A4, unos milímetros de margen hubieran sido de agradecer, ya que los documentos caben exactamente y a veces cuesta retirarlos para su consulta. en todo caso es una caja muy maciza y de elevado peso, que dan una gran sensación de confianza y seguridad. cierres pesados, duros y rígidos que completan el conjunto y la sensación de seguridad que transmiten

Sehr hochwertige Verarbeitung. Der Innenraum dürfte 2 cm noch vertragen, da er meine DIN A 4 Blätter nur leicht gebogen verstaut.

Lieferung per DHL im normalen Zeitrahmen (ca 5 Werktage). Bedienungsanleitung in englischer Sprache plus verständliche Skizzen. Der Koffersafe wiegt ca 14kg... was auf seine hohe Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Feuerhitze und Wasserdichtigkeit hoffen lässt. DIN A4-Blätter bzw -Verträge passen (samt Klarsichthüllen) ohne zu knicken hinein (keine DIN A4-Ordner !!!). Ich hoffe nicht, daß der Ernstfall einmal eintreten wird. Aber falls doch, dann vertraue ich auf diesen Dokumentenschutz.

Es una mini caja fuerte. Está muy reforzada (se nota en el peso). En mi caso la empleo para almacenar baterías de Litio y de otros tipos (tengo varios vehículos de RC y otros aparatos que las llevan. No puedo decir por experiencia que sea efectiva (no he tenido ningún fuego afortunadamente), pero quiero pensar que lo es. Pegas? no es especialmente barata...pero es el precio de la seguridad...

Una buena protección para cosas importantes. Capacidad algo justa para su tamaño debido a la protección que lleva que resta sitio. El cierre me hubiera gustado de mas calidad pero está bien ha que no es una caja fuerte sino una caja de protección. Buena compra a buen precio
