Micromark Digital Safe

Advantages: Sturdy, great when working well, can be bolted to floor
Disadvantages: A nightmare when playing up

...his arm. The Micromark safe can be bolted to the floor but we keep ours in the drawer of a conventional size filing cabinet. It's a bit smaller than the smallest microwave oven. It's heavy; I can barely pick it up myself, the boss can do it with a bit of effort. I have to say it does look cheap, but who cares what it looks like so long as it does the job? Suffice to say it has a pale grey metallic finish and is hardwearing. It has an electronic number ...
...of untroubled service from our Micromark Safe which I think isn't bad going for one that is used in a busy workplace and is probably designed more for more limited domestic use. However, the problems we had towards the end are quite concerning; I have no idea what we would have done if we hadn't eventually been able to get the thing open. I would recommend this product from use in the home but not the work place unless you expect not to use it a ... Read review

Advantages: keeps everything safe and secure, easy to use.
Disadvantages: tricky when the batteries run out!

MICROMARK DIGITAL SAFE ----------------------------------------- I noticed a few years ago that makeup, jewellery and other beauty accessories started to go missing. They ended up in my little sister's bedroom. I tried everything from hiding my stuff to literally keeping it in my handbag. I resented buying new items and then watch them disappear. I worked hard for my money and did not appreciate my thief of a sister taking them. I decided that ...
...safe to keep my prized possessions safe. I looked in a few catalogues and settled on the safe from Woolworths costing £19.99. It did seem expensive at the time but would save me a lot of money in the long run. SETTING UP AND INSTALLATION ------------------------------------------------ The instructions were well written and easy to follow within a few minutes I had inserted the batteries and set up a memorable code. The safe came with a set of ... Read review

Advantages: Keeps your little valued stuff safe.
Disadvantages: None found as yet.

Micromark have only been on the go for twenty odd years, but in that time they have gained quite a reputation in the security industry. They actually employ ex criminals to do a lot of the testing of their products. The company are based in Liverpool, (Head office in London) but are now expanding into China & Hong Kong. They received the Queen's Award for Enterprise for Innovation in 2004. The price of this particular safe is about £40 nowadays, ...
...large supermarkets. The Micromark has electronic 4 digit pin code operation, plus a reserve manual key just for emergencies. You will get a warning when the batteries are running low. It uses the small pencil type batteries, (AA type) which are cheap enough to replace, and last for years. I normally recommend rechargeable batteries, but these last so long it really is not worth it. Size is about the same as a bread bin, and because the door is very ... Read review

Advantages: compact, lcd screen
Disadvantages: easy to break in

I bought one of these safes about two years ago, after being told they were one of the best for home security. I didn't put alot in their, apart from abit of money and my passport and drivers license etc. When I was going through my tax returns one day, i saw i was £60 out of pocket. I checked twice to see if i was wrong, but I wasn't. I had both of the keys, and no-one knew the code as I changed it as soon as i got it and then forgot, so how could ...
...to the wall or the floor, I soon saw my problem. I came in one day, to find my own 14 year old brother breaking into the safe via the holes to bolt it into the walls. He was using a thin metal to touch the code reset switch, and changed the code, so he would know the code to break into it. So if a 14 year old boy whos 2 years into secondary school can break into this, it just shows that these safes aren't very secure. Its a good safe, BUT NEEDS TO ... Read review
