When closing the lid, IF you gently push lid down until it latches then when you shut the drawer you have it in the lid pops open.( not good if you have kids)If you push the lid firmly down to insure it is latched then you have to push in your 5 digit code at least 3 times before it opens which is not good if you need to get into it in a hurry.THe safe is nice and has ample room but unfortunately the mechanism is cheap and makes the safe useless for gun storage. If you push the lid down hard to ensure it is latched and safe from the kids then you wont be able to get into it quickly. AND if you push it down softly so you will be able to get into it quickly then the slightest bump of the box will pop open the lid w/o using the code. Sorry but I would steer clear of this one.
