I was disappointed that the cable tether on this product was not very secure. While the product is locked, if you depress the cable release button and then simultaneously pull on the cable tether on one end and the door on the other end with some force, the tether would come out.

If you simply need the tether to hold the item in place and don't expect it to be theft resistant, then this product will be ok for your purposes as the contents will still be protected by the combination lock.

It is plastic and if someone really wanted its contents it would be easily invaded but that is a trivial problem compared to the combination defect in design. Every other small combination lock I know requires that it be OPEN before you can change the combination. This make design sense as if it were closed (or locked) to change the combination anyone can change the combination and get the contents. Yep that is what this unit does. It requires that the unit be CLOSED to change the combination. This means that anyone can come to this "lock box" and while it is closed change the combination and get to the contents inside. It boggles the mind.

You get what you pay for. Not very secure as it is made of cheap plastic. Ordered 2 sent 1 back.

Yes, it is made out of plastic, but I think for the price it is pretty good for keeping a key secure. I haven't experienced the problem with the tether as one of the other reviewers did. I bought this one because it was substantially smaller than other stor-a-key type devices. Its small enough that you can easily hide it, but again it is plastic so if someone really wanted to get into it they probably could, given enough time and a big hammer.

If someone wanted to break this open to get your key, it wouldn't be that difficult. The plastic piece that holds the bottom in is flimsy. I would recommend keeping this item out of plain site since it isn't very secure. It is still better than keeping a key with no combination so works for a cheap and quick solution. There is foam on the inside that can make the key very difficult to remove. We ended up cutting the foam out so it was easier to get the key. This product is best if you live in a safe area and are just looking to keep a spare key outside for lockouts.

There is no way to open this thing. I made my password and did everything right according to the directions and now I can't get it open. I even had some of my friends look at it and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.I don't even get free return shipping. I won't waist my money on this thing again.

The "GE Security 001860 Portable Stor-A-Key with Adjustable Cable, in Blue" is a neat idea, however, now I know why it was so reasonably priced...it is made mostly of plastic!!! In my opinion, not a really good choice of material for a security device! Was hoping for "die-cast metal" at the very least. Shipping/delivery was fine and it usually is with amazon. Packaging could have been a bit more dense considering that the device is made of plastic. Other than that,for now it's a handy item and only time will tell if it will do the job of protecting.

Ok, it's a key storage gizmo. It opens and closes, and holds my key just fine. I've not had any problems with it. It's just nice to have somewhere to keep a spare key.

Great product, I've owned one for years. I have rarely needed to use it, but it has always worked perfectly.

Sadly only one of two of my car keys (the reason for the purchase) fit in the lock. The large round ends of the clicker simply don't fit. And only one car key will fit at a time.
