Misleading photo - WRONG MODEL SHOWN, October 3, 2006
This review is from: Brink's Home Security 5084 1 Hour Steel Fire Safe (Tools & Home Improvement)
The photo shows model 5084D which has a DIGITAL push button combination. The 5084 offered here has a round four number DIAL combination. Consider the 5084 positives: It is made of steel with dry fill insulation. This is essential to prevent mold and mildew that occurs with the newer plastic type safes that use a water cell type insulation. Plastic body safes melt in a fire to seal the door in order to obtain their 1 hr. fire rating. Also consider that the newer plastic/water cell safes require you to open the safe and air it out every couple of weeks to prevent interior mold! Regarding digital locks - they all use batteries. Enough said - Batteries!!! My advice; Stick with the tried and true manual dial lock. My 5 star rating is based on the features offered, not actual use. I simply didn't want you to be mislead by the wrong photo.
