Heavy Duty Burglary & Fire Safe - MSafe™ PFB1 90

I researched safes in the "small" category for close to a month and this one packed some good value. My criteria was a bit unique in that I didn't want a safe that was too heavy, and wanted good fire and burglary resistance. I'm happy with my purchase and overall experience with the company. They seem like straight shoot'n folks.

I rarely rate anything at the top as there's always room for improvement. For this purchase there was a misprint in the electronic lock operations manual preventing operation of some features. The company was quick to respond and address the issue.

Function testing the safe I noted one of the locking lugs would not spin freely when extended out (locked). This is to defend against saw attacks. In fairness I addressed this issue myself outside of the company. I found the hole for the lug was a bit out of alignment causing the lug to bind when extended. Filing the hole 100% corrected the issue. The machine screws used to affix internal covers and plates could be more substantial... one phillips head was stripped from the factory and care had to be taken not to strip more.

Lastly, I think it may be beneficial to some to know the door is removable. I'll update if there are new developments.

Wow what a fine safe. I have received the safe & the quality of this safe is amazing I installed in a restricted small space used 3m 5200 hundred adhesive. Also bolt down deep in to a floor beam.also in small amount of space to limit tool attacks so front door is best for attack how ever this safe build is impressive. I viewed a video on you tube where the door was taken apart exposing in side Mechanics of the safe door build quality is a wow! The blots able to roll in case of saw attack wow! high quality hardware bolts washers etc. etc. very nice. my bother in-law owns two Fort Knox safe which is pretty much top-of-the-line As far as safe was impressed with this safe as am l.......gaps on door is perfectly even.but what you can’t see the. Components of the door safe no plastics high-quality hardware it’s really impressive. Msafe did not cut any corners with this safe refreshing to see this kind of build its modern safe with good old fashioned build solid...... bravo bravo....

The safe was delivered as advertised. There were a few surprises, however:

At delivery it was tied down to a pallet using plastic ties, but it seems that it had experienced some G-force as the pallet was partially destroyed due to the weight of the safe.

The cardboard box was more of a cover than a box; I'm not sure how it shipped out, but there was no bottom and the box lifted off the top of the safe on arrival. As a result there was a fairly significant amount of dirt on the safe which I simply wiped off with a wet cloth.

The upper left corner of the safe itself (as viewed from the front) had some minor paint damage on arrival. However, this appears to be more cosmetic than anything else. I'm not sure whether this happened prior to or during shipment.

The manuals were photocopied versions with the edges cut off, leaving out important information. I was able to find similar documentation using the lock model numbers using Google and got off the ground using that.

Aside from the noted issues the safe was delivered and functions as advertised. It fits standard 8.5x11 documents flat on the bottom or internal shelf. I like the weight, the locking design, and the fact that it comes with a floor mounting screw. This is really what matters, but I can't overlook the delivery and documentation issues so I'll take off one star.
