By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
3.9 / 5

A UL-rated 1-hour fire safe, 0.94 cubic feet, with a dial and override keys. First Alert gives no depth or time for its waterproof seal, and the combination can't be changed.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the US price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
