Safe for keeping valuables protected from fires, floods, and thieves. view larger
Protect your valuables from fires, floods, and thieves using the 2087F-BD waterproof one-hour Ready-Seal fire safe from First Alert. Part of the company's line of waterproof fire safes, the 2087F-BD is built to withstand fires up to 1,700 degrees F for one hour and features a waterproof seal to keep out moisture. Combination lock and concealed, pry-resistant hinges offer added security.
Exceptionally Resistant to Fires
Designed to keep your documents and other valuables safe in the event of a fire, the 2087F-BD waterproof one-hour fire safe has been classified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to withstand external temperatures of 1,700 degrees F for one hour while maintaining an internal temperature of less than 350 degrees F.
Waterproof Seal to Keep Out Moisture
The safe comes equipped with a waterproof seal along the opening that keeps your valuables dry--even when the chest is fully submerged. This is great for protecting your documents if there's a fire and emergency sprinklers are triggered. The seal also enables the safe to float during a flood, keeping it up out of the water and making it easy to locate.
The Ready-Seal safe can be bolted to the floor and remain waterproof and fire-resistant with the warranty completely intact.
Store Electronic Media and Other Valuables
Along with important documents, you can use the 2087F-BD to safeguard computer discs, USB flash drives, and other data storage devices. The safe has been independently verified to protect electronic media such as memory drives, CDs, DVDs, and external hard drives in a fire.
Combination Lock with Emergency Override Key
The 2087F-BD comes equipped with a four-digit combination lock made to be used in conjunction with an entry key for added security. The entry key operates the safe's live bolts after you've entered the combination. You can leave the key in the keyhole and use only the combination lock to secure the door, or you can remove the key for extra protection. An emergency override key enables you to open the safe even without entering the combination--ensuring that you retain access to your valuables.
Resin Construction and Pry-Resistant Hinges
Made of durable resin, this safe sports four solid-steel locking door bolts and patented, concealed, pry-resistant Delta hinges to deter thieves. An adjustable, removable shelf allows you to maximize the space inside the safe, while the hanging key rack and door pocket make it easy to organize your belongings.
Product Information
The 2087F-BD measures 16.50 by 14.50 by 19.00 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 82 pounds. On the inside, it measures 12.88 by 10.38 by 12.25 inches and has a capacity of 0.94 cubic feet. The safe's compact size allows you to store it neatly in a closet or home office.

Summary – I have searched and compared for a long time and this safe met all my needs. It is working excellent and I was actually very surprised at the low price point. It is $82 cheaper than if you buy it directly and pay the shipping. The main reason I wanted this one was due to it being fire resistant up to 1hr, waterproof and it does not use digital features which require batteries or commonly result in malfunctions.
Some people have reported issues with mold on documents, however, most seem to be a result of not following recommendations or abnormal home issues where the safe is being used. It is recommended you open the safe 20 minutes every 2 weeks. To be on the “safe” side (Get it?), I will be using a few bags of reusable color changing silica gel packs in there. When they turn from blue to pink, this confirms there is moisture. If using for items that could be difficult or impossible to replace, they recommend placing them in airtight dishwasher-safe containers. A warning label is also on top of the safe to remind you as it is important.
Note – I do question the feature stating this may be used for media such as discs or a hard drive. Specs state that the interior can reach temperatures up to 350 degrees F. When I checked into maximum non-operating hard drive temperatures, several articles referenced a temp much lower at 158 degrees F.
Here is a quick list of the main pros and cons and hope it helps you in your decision. As with all my reviews, I will update this review should this develop issues.
Pros
-Rated up to 1700 degrees F for an hour and is waterproof.
-Has a good amount of room. (.94 cubic feet) Inside usable area is 12.88” high x 10.38” wide and 12.25” deep. Large enough for things like an A-Z paper filing folder, several handguns or even that some of the millions you have under the mattress.
-Uses four solid bolts.
-Unlike other safes I have seen, this one has the hinge flush with the side. Based on a visual inspection of the safe as well as of the lock, I can not see a thief being able to gain access to it barring toting this thing back to the lair to use some heavy duty machines.)
-Combination wheel is metal, is easy to work and easy to read.
-The two override keys you receive are quality barrel keys and opening the safe using the keys is not a problem.
-This is a mechanical safe and not electronic. Since this uses a combination and key lock and not a digital keypad, you do not need to worry about batteries or malfunctions.
-If you use the included bolt down kit, you can bolt this to your floor with the safe remaining waterproof and fire resistant.
-You have a 5-year limited warranty through First Alert when you register the safe online. It is easy to do and your serial number as well as key number will then be on file with them should anything happen.
-This is 82lbs and comes accross as a tank. Does have a handle indent in the back to help move, however, recommend using a hand truck or dolly to move around.
Cons
Combination lock comes preset and there is not a way to change this to your own combo. To me this was a big bummer.
Items needed to make this perfect.
Change plastic handle to metal. While it seems durable, a metal handle would just compliment the otherwise solid heavy duty build of the safe.

This is probably not a secure safe against anyone willing to break it to get in. Of course, it is better than a shoe box especially if bolted down properly.
