Customer Rating: - Likely to deter casual theft
This product is useful if you need to leave your laptop or other valuables locked in your car while you're on the move. The lock is a 15mm (9/16 in) wide by 1mm thick metal bolt that latches shut when you turn the lock wheel on the top of the box. The lock can't be cut from the outside of the box, but there is room to insert a screwdriver between the lid and the box. I have not attempted to pry open the box by force but I can comfortably insert a 3/16 in flat head screwdriver about 9/16 in under the lid.

The locking cable is 4.5mm thick but the loop section is only 3mm. Since the cable is only as strong as its weakest section, the cable is effectively 3mm thick.

The electronic lock has a five-digit keypad with key override. A four-digit code gives you a mere 625 combinations, but after three unsuccessful attempts the box will not accept further tries for four minutes (you can still use the key during this period).

In summary, I'm not sure how resistant this box is to an attempted break in, but it will certainly stop an unequipped or opportunistic thief from simply walking away with your valuables. I would recommend it for mobile security, but for home use I recommend paying for something more substantial. It is light enough to carry to and from your car. If you don't need a box this large, the Honeywell Digital Locking Steel Box #3035D is a smaller version of this product and is significantly cheaper.
