After reading the reviews of others, I decided to purchase this unit for critical documents. I do like the fire rating, the heat range and the fact it is water proof. Its a good size unit. People do seem to complain about the fact that the handle is plastic. It does seam to be a cheap and flimsy handle, but as long as it doesn't break, I am good with it. I don't plan on accessing it more than once a year anyways. I like the fact is has the 4 large pins comes with a preloaded code and allows you to program 2 additional codes. One thing that I would add that I didn't realize, but should have thought about, is if you plan on mounting it to the floor, it requires you to drill through the bottom. Once you drill through it, it is no longer water proof. I compensated by dropping bolts in, filling the holes with caulk, and used rubber washers with large fender washers over them. I didn't flood my house to check if it would work, but seems like a suitable fix.
