## Description

Protex IF-1500C in-ground floor safe – this medium size safe is designed to be installed in concrete flooring for maximum concealment and enhanced security. Constructed with a solid steel body and a ½” thick A36 steel door, it offers strong resistance against burglary attempts. The carburized hard plate protects the lock mechanism against drilling, while five chrome-plated locking bolts and a dead bar system provide additional security. Ideal for storing documents, cash, and jewelry. Interior space is best kept dry using waterproof bags (not included), as the safe is not waterproof.

Review: What a great safe! very solid - What a great safe! very solid, far more solid than I expected. It also has a damper shock that holds the door open for you so the lid doesn't slam down on you while your pulling your hoards of gold and money out of it. The combo is a little harder to do than I expected and the flat piece of metal that covers the top needs rubber pads under it so the lid dont rattle if you walk on it. Its an easy fix to do it yourself though. Now the hard work begins! Gotta install it! EDIT: I finally got it installed and it took about 3 hours for the full install. I rented a jack hammer at Home Depot and took out an 18 X 18 square. I know a little overkill but I wanted room to fill the concrete in good. In Florida there is a very high water table, as little as a foot sometimes so after I dug the hole and put sand down for a good level surface I put a 3 mil plastic cover over the entire safe then put it in the hole. I then filled the concrete around the outside of the plastic until it was almost level. Then I cut the last bit of plastic level to the top and turned it down and filled the concrete to the top so there was no plastic showing. (Just the top 2 inches didnt have plastic). I am very happy with the install and if you can run a 20lb. Jack hammer then you can install this. The top of this safe is a solid 1/2 inch steel plate so it would be extremely hard to get into this thing. I did put some rubber pads on the lid to keep it from rattling when walked on. I am very surprised the maker didnt add these to the unit. It makes a big difference.
Review: Bad reviews on this safe are not waranted - I was skeptical after reading bad reviews. The safe arrived I opened the packaging and attempted to open the safe. I then read the instructions to identify which was the 12 o'clock mark and it opened. I have opened it 2-3 times a day for almost 30 days. I wanted to make sure it was not going to be a problem before I concreted it in place. It has never failed to open smoothly and without any problems. This is a quality safe, the dial is smooth and feels like a bank vault in operation. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and skip the bad reviews, I think most are because people didn't fully read and understand how to open a 4 dial safe.

### ⭐ Extremely hard to open
*by E***D on February 25, 2019*

The safe looks great and appears to be high quality. The only problem is the combination mechanism is very hard to open. Three people tried to open the safe and only two could get it opened three out of ten tries. Get the model with a keypad.
