Value Safes

The EW-03 Wall Safe is the “big brother” to the EW-02 wall safe. Which is a highly regarded wall safe. Though neither are a B rated wall safe. Both should hold up against an attack very well.  Read my EW-02 wall safe posting for some details that I may miss here.

The big difference is the size. The EW-03 is larger and has an extra bolt to support the larger door. Depth is about the same on both models which is around 7 1/2 inches. This will not fit in the standard 2×4 wall. 

The other day I had a question about “What happens if the batteries go dead?” Thats okay, this safe has an external overide that will open it from the outside of the safe. You will still need the combination AND the key to retract the bolts.  The memory of the keypad is “non-volatile” which means it will not reset to factory code if the battery goes dead. It WILL maintain that 6 digit combo that you put into it.  So if you forget your combo….you can’t get inside the wall safe. 

Over all this safe gets high marks for quality and price.  I would not hesistate to install this wall safe in my own home.  Due find a good hiding place for it that is well covered and out of the way.  Some times bathrooms make a great place to install a wall safe.

This wall safe is not fireproof.  Most wall safes are just steel. However, there are several available in the industy. Fireproof Wall Safe WS-DIY is a good model take a look on www.ValueSafes.com
