The lockbox itself functions very well as intended, but the cover design is not well thought through. The cover is either too tight/too hard to snap on or it easily gets lost while the vehicle is in motion. I had 4 of these products, and 3 of the covers went missing while the vehicles were on the road. I wish the product design was such that the cover is attached to the unit itself to prevent it from being lost.

It seems a bit expensive, however it is holding a backup key to my vehicle so how much cheaper would I like it to be? None if it compromises the quality and security of it.
One reviewer mentions that you have to buy an additional locking pin to make this work. This is incorrect. There are two very short pins which are included and go through the receiver on each side and into the box, with the safe open you then push forward the bars and they lock the pins in tight. The pins include a gasket of sorts for each, and you have to press the pin in compressing the gasket to get it to lock in. Seems pretty water “resistant” (note that this is different from waterproof)
A couple other reviewers mentioned that it was just barely too short to install it. On my 2006 Trailblazer it installed easily. There are 4 different gaskets provided. A really thick one, a medium one and two really thin ones. On my vehicle I could only use the two really thin ones and I still had to apply pressure to compress the gaskets for the pins to fit. I wanted a really snug fit on the gaskets to maximize water resistance. I’m not sure on the other reviewers if maybe they didn’t pick the proper size gasket or if they weren’t putting enough “stank” on it to fully compress the gasket they choose.
I did have to review the instructions for setting the combination. But that’s it. The installation is so simple and straight forward I didn’t need the rest.
I will have to say that it is important for the cover to be installed properly. There is a note on one side that says “This side down”. It seems loose after installing the cover, but it doesn’t feel like it’ll come off after tugging on it. If you don’t grab the bottom edge and pull it to release the tabs keeping the cover on, it seems to want to stay. We will see.
The safe itself seems very nice. Smooth, combination lock is solid. It’s a quality product. Again at first I thought it was a bit expensive, but after receiving it, playing with it, installing it, and using it. I would have been very disappointed if any shortcuts were implemented for the sake of cost.

Impressive product. It looks very premium (and it IS!) it fit perfect and it was SO easy to set the combination (I never even looked at the instructions…. I AM a man after all….) I can highly recommend this gem. Now I never have to worry about locking myself out of the car or the house. 11 stars!!!!!

Easy to install and easy to set combo. My F-150 only required one of the two included spacers. Perfect for keys, cash, credit cards.
