This product worked as intended. But only for a couple months. Something has jammed up the unlocking mechanism. It might be dust that has gotten into the mechanism, or just the shaking/rattling that comes with driving a lot. Either way, I can not open this lock anymore. I’m certain that I tried the correct password, and I have also tried other combinations. On the bright side though, the lock itself and the material are strong. I’ll have to take a sledge hammer to it to get my key out of it.

On more occasions than I would like to admit, I’ve locked myself out of the house. So when I saw this lockbox, I ordered it. The price was certainly reasonable enough for my peace of mind.My first concern was that it was made out of plastic. I did my research and found that this box is made from the same materials used to make car parts! It’s not likely to be broken apart by the local thief welding a hammer.I am also impressed with it requiring a pass code to open it. When the Key Box arrived, I wasn’t sure where to start. Everything is inside the key box—instructions, vinyl bags, etc. All 4 digits should be set to zero, and then give the lid a good tug or two. (I had to watch Amazon’s video to figure out how to open it.)Once opened, it’s pretty straightforward. The instructions are well written and complete. Once you set your new password, you lock it in by throwing the pins on the inside of the cover.There’s not a lot of space, but plenty of room to store a key or other small item. While I didn’t choose to locate the key box under my car, I did find a safe place outside on the patio to secure it. I feel confident that no one is likely to find it, and if they do, they won’t be able to access the key.The design is well thought out, and I would recommend this key box to anyone who has kids or visitors who need to get into your home. It would be especially helpful for seniors who might need to have emergency care and want to give the 911 operator the location and password for the box. (It would save the rescue squad breaking a window to get in.)This is definitely a well designed product for a very reasonable price. I recommend it to other shoppers.

If you've ever locked yourself out of your car or your house, you know how nice it would be to have a spare key available to let yourself back in. But where do you hide a spare key so no one else knows about it? Everyone knows what a fake rock looks like, and what it likely holds, and tucking a house key under a floor mat or on a high doorjamb won't even fool the neighborhood kids. This won't fool anyone either. It's pretty obviously a place to store a spare key, and uses a 4-digit combination to open, which is right in the front. So it's a little more secure than a plastic rock with a sliding door on the bottom, at least. The real problem with security is the magnet. While it's decently strong, it sticks out far enough in the back to feel like it could easily get bumped off of whatever metal surface it's attached to on the underside of your vehicle. Further, if someone does manage to find the box, and pull it off the steel, once they have access to the backside of the box, there are only 6 #2 Phillip's screws holding the case together. Remove those screws and you don't need the combination at all. A better way of securing your spare key is to remove the magnet entirely, using a hex wrench to remove the nut on the inside of the lock box, then drive screws through the holes in the back of the case from the inside, through the felt layer that protects the surface of what you're attaching it to, into a soft material, such as a wooden fence post, wall, or maybe a plastic outer wall in your engine bay if you can access it without a key. The default combination is 0000, but you can easily change it by moving a lever inside the box and changing the combination, then moving the lever back to its normal position. The compartment inside the box is large enough to hold even the large key fob of a Jeep Wrangler, including the long key blade.

I like this little lockbox! It has room for several keys, if needed, or even a small amount of money if that was your plan.The magnet is a really good, string magnet that will keep the lockbox in place. We do not intend to use it on our car, but you could definitely leave someone the keys for your vehicle with confidence the box wouldn’t fall out of the hiding place on the parked vehicle.Please note the body is a solid plastic and is not steel. It is not a flimsy product, but if someone found the box and were determined, they could probably break open the box with a hammer. The product is good for many uses, but it is not a safe.The thing I really liked was that it is easy to change the combination! So often, things with a combination lock require all sorts of effort to change, whether it be poking something in a reset hole or dialing some specific series of numbers (and when I mess up, I get crabby and use bad works!). That’s not a problem here. Once opened, there is a small lever one moves, you chenge to the new combination, and then move the lever back to its original position. No drama. No cursing.Overall, I love it! (And my husband just ran off to the garage with it, so I’ll probably be ordering another one very soon…)

This key box came as advertised although I didn't realize that it was made of plastic. I don't feel like plastic would be that durable especially under a car. I didn't get it for a car, however, so it may still work for me. I am concerned that anyone determined enough could break it open due to it being plastic though. I'm on the fence about this one.
