An unbolted safe is a strongbox with a handle for carrying it away · review
SINZUX 1710 review
A small electronic safe with a three-to-eight digit code and two override keys, dimensioned by SINZUX at 23 × 17 × 17 cm (9.1 × 6.7 × 6.7 in) and designed to be mounted to a wall.
The conclusion Small, cheap, and only as good as the bolts. Put the override keys somewhere else entirely.
The most important sentence about any small safe is not on its specification
sheet: a safe that is not fixed down is portable, and a portable safe is
opened elsewhere at leisure.
Fix it or do not buy it
This one is designed to be wall mounted, and doing so is not optional. Through
the back, into masonry, with the supplied or better fixings. Unbolted, it
weighs a few kilograms and leaves under an arm, and everything else about it —
the eight-digit code, the ten thousand combinations — becomes irrelevant.
The override keys
Two of them, and they open the safe completely without the code. That is
sensible provision against a dead battery and a forgotten code, and it means
the keys must live somewhere that is not the same house. A drawer in the next
room defeats the entire purchase.
The capacity, honestly
6.6 liters and 23 × 17 × 17 cm (9.1 × 6.7 × 6.7 in) externally, which means noticeably less
internally once the steel and the door mechanism are subtracted. Passports,
cash, jewelry and folded documents fit. An A4 folder lying flat does not.
What is not published
No security grade, no fire rating. Where a manufacturer states neither, this
page reports neither, and the safe should be read as a deterrent against opportunism rather than as certified protection. The listing nonetheless calls it “fireproof” and “waterproof”: with no rating and no duration, neither word describes anything you can check, and it is not a fire safe.
Who it suits
A wardrobe or cupboard with a solid wall behind it.
Availability
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.
Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.
What reassures, and what does not
Strengths
Variable code length — three to eight digits
Two override keys against a dead battery or a forgotten code
Small enough to fit inside a wardrobe or a cupboard
Wall mountable, which is what makes any small safe worth having
Compromises
6.6 liters is genuinely small — an A4 folder will not lie flat
No published security grade or fire rating
A small safe is a portable safe unless it is bolted properly
Override keys must be stored somewhere other than in the safe

The questions we are asked
Where do the override keys go?
Somewhere that is not the house the safe is in, or at least not the room. They defeat the safe completely, so a set left in a drawer nearby means the code is decoration. A relative's house, a workplace, or a bank box is the right answer.
Is 6.6 liters useful?
For passports, cash, jewelry and a few documents folded, yes. For an A4 folder lying flat, no — the internal dimension is smaller than the external one by the thickness of the steel and the door mechanism. Measure what you intend to put in it.
Does the mounting matter that much?
It is the whole thing. A 6.6-liter safe weighs a few kilograms and is carried away under one arm, to be opened somewhere quiet with an angle grinder. Bolted through the back into masonry, that route is closed. An unbolted small safe is a strongbox with a handle.
Our score
8.1/ 10
Small, cheap, and only as good as the bolts. Put the override keys somewhere else entirely.

BURG-WÄCHTER describes the Favor S3 E as basic valuables protection: a single-wall body with a self-programmable electronic lock, in a furniture safe of 200 × 310 × 200 mm (7.87 × 12.2 × 7.87 in).
Best for: A household that wants a safe from a safe manufacturer rather than from a general brand.
