poor quality, terrible customer service
Very rough operation of lock mechanism. Bottom shelf is almost unusable because of the position of locking mechanism. I attempted to contact the customer service dept. listed on the enclosed warranty sheet. The 1-800-number listed on the warranty
sheet referred me to a 10-10- number, which was a directory who
gave me the no. of Sisco. I received my phone bill today and found the directory charged me $5.98 to give me the Brinks customer service no. So what do you think of a manufacturer who

gives you a phony 800 no. which refers you to an outfit which charges you $5.98 to give you their phone no.? This,along with a poorly designed, poor quality product. I will never buy anything
from Brinks again. I don't think too much of Amazon for dealing with Brinks. BTW I sent an e-mail to their customer service dept.
Of course I have never received an answer.

Easy to install and use
This safe is extremely easy to install and use. I own this safe and agree that it would be very hard to remove. You secure it with heavy screws from the inside that go into the wall studs. A thief would need to know your combination before they could remove it. In fact we just moved and I'm about to order another one for our new house.

Stupid NON-Owner!!! I own one, so listen up!
Disreguard the review above! This man had to "ask questions". I own one, and can tell you from experience that this safe is not able to be removed without opening the door, at least not with just a screw driver...you would need a chainsaw or sledge hammer. The screws on the front that you see in the pictures are really only to keep the front flange flush with the wall. the real support and mounting screws go into pre-drilled holes in the inside on the left and right of the safe cavity. It fits perfect if you have 16inch on center studs. Cut the drywall carefully and you will have no problem concealing the hole with the safe flange.

Looks good, but is it really safe?
After asking some questions, I learned that the only thing that will stop a thief is a screwdiver. There are 4 screws (outside corners) that hold this entire safe to the wall. If you have a screwdiver, the entire unit can be removed and stolen. Brinks can simply fix this problem by having interior holes (access only by opening the door). Long screws can secure the safe to the adjacent 2x4s, again only if you have the door open. However, the safe has steel walls and an owner can't easily drill their own holes. Not very practical or safe! ... Read more

Works as advertised
This little safe works as it is advertised. The battery operated lock works well, and there is a key override system if the batteries fail. It is an easy way to keep secure passports, cash, jewelry, or other small documents.
However, this safe is not fire resistant, and any thief with basic lockpicking skills could open the key override lock. (on the flip side this is good if the batteries fail and you lose the keys, any locksmith can open the lock as well)
The best would be to secure the safe via the included bolts, otherwise, the safe can easily be carried out by hand. Like I mentioned before, it is a convenient way to keep valubles more secure than in an unlocked drawer, but not something to completely rely on. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Brink's brand-name security comes in a small package that fits just about anywhere--it needs only 5 inches of clearance. It's made of steel and comes with a quick-open digital lock that you set to your own three- to eight-digit numeric code. Two keys are also included. Users can bolt the safe into studs from the inside, so it's virtually theft-proof (thieves would have to take out your wall as well, and few have time for that!). It has a nice safety feature, too. If the wrong code is entered once, the digital system locks out for 20 seconds. A second error locks it up for five minutes, and a third blunder will shut the system down for an hour. At home, we can imagine stock certificates, cash, jewels, and even a handgun locked inside. At the office, cash and checks, documents, and valuables will all fit easily. It's a good buy for the money--and the peace of mind. --KrisJensen-Van Heste ... Read more

I need a manual
Hi I lost my manual and would like to see if anyone can help me by telling me how to reset the passcode

Excellent quality
This safe is just what the ad says-it is a safe. It is meant to be secure and it is. Documents that are important should be in this safe. I feel it would be better used lying down just because that way nothing will fall out at you when you open it up. It is very heavy duty and the ability to set your own code should make it easy to remember.

FORGET wall mounting it
I was looking for a small, digital-combo safe like this to mount onto (or into) a wall, and the Amazon review implies that the 5074 is mountable "to studs". The Gold Box price was too good to pass up, so I bought it.

The Good: It works. The paint finish is nice.

The Bad: It's definitely for mounting FLAT, as in a drawer. If you want wall- or shelf mounting, you'd naturally want the hinge at the top, so the keypad reads right. BUT, the hinges won't hold the door open that way, and the inside shelf would run vertically instead of horizontally! Your only choice is to mount it sideways, which means the keypad is sideways, too. Not the most ergonomic arrangement, especially if you need to open it in a hurry.

Besides that, the batteries were already dead on arrival, and the bolt handle squeaked and grated.

I returned it.

Quick Handgun Storage
I'm surprised it's in as good of shape as it was when it arrived. The box was totally beat to death and I dreaded sending it back because of it's weight. But, it was relatively unscathed. It's a great little investment, except for the hinges. You'd think they would have something more durable, than those flimsy little hinges held together by a rivet. One of the hinges is impossibly loose and impossible to repair. We mounted it on the wall and so far so good. I got it on a gold box sale so with the free shipping it was worth the price.

Perfect for storing your handguns
I've been looking for something large enough to store my handguns. My previous method was just a gun lock and I don't trust them. This one came up on sale here and I jumped on it. It shows an ability to mount vertical or horizontal. If you mount the safe standing up, everything sits in the bottom and I don't believe you could put more than just a few heavy items. Lying flat it is the perfect gun locker. The electronic lock works great. The quality is very high. If you've got kids and firearms, get one of these. ... Read more

good for home use
I needed a fireproof file case for home use, to protect important documents such as insurance papers, titles, etc. After visits to several local stores and some on-line research, it is clear there is a large gap between professional equipment (two or more hours of protection, $500+ and hundreds of pounds) and home equipment (30 to 60 minutes protection, about $100 and 100 pounds or less).
The major competitor to this Brinks is a Sentry product. Both are rated for 1/2 hour fire protection at 1500-1600 degrees, but the Brinks is also waterproof for hours when completely submerged (what is the first thing the fire department is going to do when the arrive at your burning home?) As well, the design of the Sentry products in this price/size/protection range left a substantial gap between the cover and body of the case. Finally, the Brinks came with a removable caster system which makes it easy to move around (it's about 40 pounds).
The down side is that it's rated for only 30 minutes. Sentry makes a case rated for one hour, with a larger internal size, but it weighed 100 pounds and had no handles. I could barely move it, but it was waterproof and better constructed than their 30 minute case, so it might fit your needs closer than mine.
Both companies make several safes rated for one hour. These are harder still to move, and may be a target for thieves; I did not get one since I was interested in protecting files and not valuables.
If you are interested in professional level protection, include the brand "FireKing" in your search.
Obviously, I did not actually test the protection level of this case -- hopefully UL did a good job. ... Read more

Fire safe, but not people safe
I just bought the Brinks 5017 waterproof fire safe two days ago. Today it's being returned.
While I'm sure it functions well to keep things safe from fire and dry, I could pry open the lock with my bare hands...
I think to be called a safe, it should be a lot more secure.

Credible fire/water protection; questionable security
I needed a simple safe to store documents, passports, and valuables. My primary needs were fire/water protection and having a central place to keep valuables; less concerned about theft. This safe feels solid. Two qualms:

1) There are two anchor tabs on the safe & lid designed to allow it to be secured to a permanent object with lock & cable (not included). However, these tabs are the same plastic as the housing, and you could probably cut through them with heavy scissors.

2) The locking mechanism is not convincing; components, while steel, are still a little flimsy, and something I'd expect to find on a mailbox. It gives slightly under hand pressure, and I moved some of the components with my fingers when it's in the open position. I believe it could be compromised with crowbar & sledge.

Despite the cons, I'm still glad I bought this. Now I have a central place to keep documents; it protects me as much against misplacing things as against possible fire. That it's waterproof was an added bonus, since water usually follows fire. But it's only certified not to leak when submerged in 13" of water for up to 8 hours. I guess that's enough, just don't drop it in the lake. Yet, the rubber waterproof seal is relatively exposed, and I wonder if it retains its efficacy AFTER being subjected to extreme heat. Nowhere does the product explicity claim that it can do both in the same day. Fire: 1550 F (850 C) for 30 minutes. 5-year limited warranty, lifetime after-fire replacement guarantee. UL listed for fire but not water. Paper burns at 451 F, by the way.

The chemical smell? It's pretty faint, not really an issue. Smells more like the inside of a tire than fishy, and that is a pleasant smell to me.

So, this is a satisfying baseline option for simple needs. I felt ok paying $30 with free super-saver shipping. I'm sure it will last a long time, though I hope it doesn't get stolen; most people don't have steel beams in their bedrooms onto which to permanently fasten their safes. I'd recommend Brinks strengthens the lock mechanism and rethinks the anchor tabs.

Actual internal dimensions are 13.25 x 8 9/16 x 3.5 inches (335 x 215 x 75mm). Exterior: 16 1/8 x 12.5 x 5 5/8 inches (410 x 320 x 145mm). Weight: 23 lbs (9.5kg).

Good quality safe
I found this safe to be more substantial than I imagined and while there is a slight peculiar odor, it's certainly not as bad as the other reviews led me to believe. I'm happy with it and think it's a bargain at the price. What I didn't like is it's made in China, but what isn't now-a-days?

Strange odor in this and another Brinks safe
I just caught a reference to the same smell 'fishy' chemical odor I've sensed from mine but I bought a much larger one, Model 5058D, which has a heavy paint/solvent smell that hasn't diminished after days of airing it out with the aid of a fan.
I'm almost bowled over when I open it after an evening with the door closed so I'm very hesitant to put anything other than paperwork and even would wrap that in a plastic bag.

I'm going to return it to Fry's Electronics. Luckily it's only 70 lbs heavy.

Not Recommended!!

fits my needs, however something smells fishy
it locks and holds my documents fine. I haven't tested it in a fire yet and hope I don't have to find out either. However my safe has a peculiar odor inside of it. Anything I put in the safe and take out some time later has a fishy smell to it. I've tried cleaning the interior of the safe to no avail. Might want to look into that before purchase. ... Read more
