STEELMASTER Cookbook Safe with High-Security Lock and 2 Keys (221269206)

Most of these secret books are dictionaries, a foolish strategy in my opinion because a dictionary is commonly used. A cookbook is a brilliant cover, with a stylish and appropriate design, and a topic that is normal but not very interesting. It's even better since I actually cook. I love it, it's a good update to the typical book-safe. I doubt it's very secure, especially because it can be snatched as it's not heavy and very portable. But...It's not supposed to be heavy and impenetrable; it's supposed to blend it naturally - as it certainly does. A recommended buy at a good price. (Please note that this review is both objective and subjective, obviously.) Thank you!

The safe worked well. However, I never got to use it.

The media could not be loaded. Would recommend. Inconspicuous. Not heavy duty.

This is nice and durable and blends nicely in my cookbooks so is quite inconspicuous..... Only thing is I made my own dark label for the binding since it was NOT black as shown but gold and barely noticeable. Overall tho' I like it!

Not really secure-anyone could easily get into if needed. However it is an excellent decoy safe and was very useful when I needed to hide my pain medication after surgery. Plus I do a lot of cooking so no one suspected it was a safe! FYI large prescription size bottle ( 2 inches) were too big to shut the safe. You would need to use smaller containers.

Bought this since I assumed it would blend in the several cookbooks I have on a bookshelf.That part may have been true if the spine resembled a book, but it doesn't. The lettering, if you want to call it that, is so light it is not visible.I could live with that, but the haphazard construction quality ruins any concealment factor this may have had.The glue on the side holding the spine to the metal safe had come loose and will no longer stick at all. Guess I'll have to buy some double sided tape for that. Not only that, the back of the book was glued crooked on to the metal safe.In short, it's falling apart right out of the cellophane wrapping it came in.One good point -- the metal safe seems solidly constructed and it may do its job even without the book casing.If you're looking for a better concealed safe and don't necessarily need a book style, look up the Yuban coffee can safe. It'll hold cash and jewelry just the same, will blend in with other coffee products you have and will probably last longer.

This was a Christmas present, Kris Kringle style.It's large and holds a lot inside, more so than other diversion safes of this kind. The print on the spine and face of the book safe is NOT AS SHOWN: it's much fainter. Much. Great that it comes with keys, however.The way to make this work is to line it up with other books and then put a book horizontally ON TOP of it! It's a dead giveaway otherwise and even the dimmest pilferer can see the obvious and defeat all your crafty thought, planning and squirelling away of valuables. As a gift, it was nice as it came in a cardboard box that made wrapping easy, even for a born gift-bag gifter like myself.

Great little safe, I suggest you mix it in with other books on a bookshelf as it has plastic "pages", which is required in order to make the safe secure.. I have three of these (different designs), and love them. No more worries about someone snooping into my private papers. Good to hide medications in also to keep the kids out of them.
