Vaultz Portable File Box, Legal/Letter, Dual-Combination Lock, 17.5x14 In

This is a very large chest but it is exactly what I wanted which is to store tax files a year at a time.The outside dimensions of the chest including handles, locks and hinges are 17.5 W X 13.75 D X 12.5 H inches. Another critical dimension not mentioned is the height with the lid fully open which is 25.25 inches.You might want to tape up a cardboard model to get an idea of the size and try fitting it into the spot where it will be stored. I own a fireproof lock box that I keep more important stuff in so I was not concerned about locking it. I didn't even remove the nylon zip ties after it arrived .95% of the locks in the world can be defeated with a hammer or a screwdriver or a combination of both. You could bolt a half inch thick padlock to this and one smack would break the box. Every day bolt cutters and reciprocating saws are used to defeat padlocks that cost as much as this box. Sturdiness is ultimately a factor of price.Like the automakers who led the way in making plastic look like metal be warned that the "aluminum " looking trim is plastic. This is not a solid metal box and the price reflects just that. It is well made, handy and does the job for me.I It also works in one direction for letter size and the other way for legal size files. There is a slight disadvantage to the letter size size since you have to open the lid completely to remove a file. Depending on where you store this box that could be a factor since you may have to take it out completely and then turn it to open it up.I can see a lot of other uses for this box as well ; tackle ,fishing reel storage ..any light bulky items.

The Vaultz Portable File Box is exactly what I was looking for and this product exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a portable, legal sized file box that could accommodate hanging files. When I received my order including the Vaultz portable file box the day after I ordered it, I was impressed with the sturdiness and durability this product. I appreciate the aluminum frame and the rigid body of this file box. It also has substantial handles on the side which can carry a fully packed file box. The only thing I wish this product had is a third handle on the top, but I imagine this would not meet the engineering standards if the box was packed. Overall, I’m impressed with this product and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality, durable, and well-made file box.

This is a nice looking box with a black lining that looks and feels velvety. I bought it to store old photos, I think it's great as a storage box, I don't believe the box would hold up with heavy files hanging, light files would probably be fine. Not as secure as it could be because it wouldn't be hard to break into and there's no place for a padlock, but you'd be able to tell if someone did. It's a good buy for the money. Two side carrying handles. I have short hands and I'm 5'5" reference for hand/ arm size in picture to box ratio. Good size. I didn't judge durability just because I haven't had it long. Good for the price. Update - a couple of months later, the lock on one side quit working while in the lock position, had to literally break it off, as it wouldn't open at all! Super disappointed - sorry to the buyers for not updating my review sooner! I included a picture.

This box is a great size for my many medications. With caregivers coming and going, I know my prescriptions are locked up and secure. It is also provides safety when my grandchildren come to visit. It's easy to set your own combination, and has handles so I can move or travel with it if needed. It could also be bolted to a floor or other surface if needed. Vaultz has given me peace of mind! Highly recommended for anyone who needs a lot of medications locked up. If I need to get a file box, I know what company to contact too! Great purchase!

This is a great product. We use it to safely store prescription medications, extra OTC meds, our kids' video games and/or cell phone when one of them loses electronics privileges...pretty much anything we don't want lying around for our kids to get in to. It is well made and the locking mechanisms continue to work well over time. It is pretty large; they sell smaller sizes so you can get one to suit your specific needs. Keep in mind that this is not a tamper-proof safe - if someone wants to smash it and pull it apart, they could - but unless you are hiding gold bars or Spanish doubloons, it provides sturdy, reliable, and secure storage.

I was looking for something nice to store some modern day comics in top loaders sleeves and this fit the bill perfectly. It seems robust enough to handle the weight (and it should since it's designed for legal file storage). The dimensions are perfect to handle a couple of rows of comics in their sleeves. I've got about 100 stored in there comfortably. Hoping it holds up! The combo lock does seem a little cheap and instructions say that once you change it, you HAVE to remember it as there is no default combo. All in all though, it looks great and was ideal for my purpose.

I received this the other day and initially I was happy with it. Then when I started to inspect it, I was very disturbed. The lock keys were poorly manufactured and felt as if they were to cave in. Second, the box itself was not as sturdy as it looked. Basically it was a painted cardboard box with shiny bolts and hinges. My 4 your old niece could make something studier out of toothpicks, a clothespin, cotton-balls, crayons, and elmers glue. Thirdly, when testing the code for my lock, the left side would not unlock; what the hell am I supposed to do with a half secure box?!?! Furthermore, the right lock did lock but, to unlock it, I didn't need the code, all you had to do was push the lock and bam, unlock. The switch to "unlock" the box would not budge. I finally figured out to unlock the left side by using a ***** hammer, #hammertime. This is not a secure box. You get what you pay for so buyer beware. Im so dissappointed I don't feel like going thru the hassle of trying to return and refund my money. I could say more but I hope you (reader) get the point. I can't rate it a 0 star because Amazon won't let me wth

I needed a place to store all my documents and I think this chest does it perfectly. It fits both the Letter and Legal paper sizes, which is good. However, be advised that it does not come with folders so you will need to purchase them separately - and it can become more expensive than other similar solutions. Also, the locks seem really cheap and are actually weak, so this chest does not protect your documents from theft. Overall, this is a good product and I would give it four stars if it was a little less expensive and came with at least a few folders. I would only give it five stars if it also had stronger locks.

Purchased 2 items. Both arrived built to the same standard. Key info for other buyers - Some of the positive reviews here must be fake, we simply don't understand how people can be rating these items with 4 and 5 stars. - Not sturdy in any sense of the word, the materials are cheap, the rivets some of them were loose/falling out. The metalwork is incredibly thin and would deform very easily with light use - Both cases did not sit flat on the floor, they were unevenly made... imagine a table with one leg too short. Teh boxes wobble. - Standard Foolscap files did not fit in naturally, the case was just a little too narrow, you had to force them in, such that they would sit extremely tight and would only glide forward/backward along the rails of the case if you had the file diagnoally orenited. (picture shows how a foolscap file would land (sit) if lowered naturally into the case) - The ends of the rails looks like theyve been snapped by hand rather than machined/cut to the correct sizes. As a result, there is sharp metal exposed within the case (as pictured) Positive points: - The locking mechanism works relaibly, although the combination wheels only roll down, they get jammed if you try to roll them upwards (cheap). - -

Excellent product. Nice and strong, solid handles, tough construction. Locking function works well. Handles Letter or Legal file folders. Hanging folders fit on rails inside edge. Very pleased! We have 6 in use now.

Good quality prouduct but picture misleading as it does not come with files

MUY PRACTICO PARA GUARDAR DOCUMENTOS IMPORTANTES

Nice and sturdy, except for the folding metal bars. They are flimsy and cause the top to mis-align with the bottom when trying to close it. We use it in the field in crummy weather and such, and so sturdiness is of great importance.
