For now, we will delve straight into the nitty-gritties to help you determine whether it is actually worth your money and attention.

Security Features

This line of home safes features pry-resistant steel door which acts as the first line of defence against intrusion or burglary. This is bolstered by 2 live-action steel locking bolts plus concealed hinges for impenetrable security. You will also note that the keypad can be programmed to silent mode which allows you to act discreetly when accessing the contents of the safe.

Stack-On PS-520 Construction and Weight

This home safe weighs 44.7 pounds which makes it quite light. This has two sides to it. On one hand, it can be quite easy to move it especially for seniors who have to move homes or want to install it in a room upstairs. On the contrary, it also makes it prone to picking by burglars. Unless you bolt it, you don’t stand a good chance with burglars.

Locking Mechanism

The Stack-On PS-520 incorporates an electronic locking mechanism which provides quick access to your valuables at any time. The lock is also easily programmable and, if you abhor dial and lock combination, this safe will lessen your worries when you want to access your valuables. If the digital lock fails unexpectedly, then the safety key override will still allow you to access the safe until the problem is solved.

Interior and Spacing

This personal safe is typically a basic lock-box kind of safe with a big space in the interior. The space can accommodate quite a number of valuables without cramming them. What’s more! It can also be partitioned at different levels to create separate spaces for different kinds of valuables.

So, if you want to keep small valuable separately, you can do so conveniently.  It also features a foam padded walls and shelves for securing sensitive valuables against mild impact.

Setting Up and Installation

As would be expected of digital electronic locks, it is easy to set up this safe for use. So, you don’t have to sweat it out trying to get it to work. The Stack-On also comes with pre-drilled holes which facilitates mounting to a flat surface. It is advisable to bolt it if you are living in a burglary prone neighborhood.

Possible Put Offs

One of the possible downsides you might have to contend with are edges and corners which seem to crack fast. The paint might also flake off and after years of use, you might also have to contend with a loose and rattling door.

PS-520 is not a fireproof safe and there is no suggestion whatsoever that it can actually secure electronic media and other fire sensitive valuables. Nevertheless, it still remains reasonably secure in deterring prying or theft.

Conclusion

Although this personal safe is not UL listed for protection against fire exposure, it certainly serves it purpose well. This may not be the high end safe that receives 5 star ratings, but its pricing comes through as reasonable, and the space it provides satisfactory. You can store your valuables, enjoy peace of mind, and get good value for your money when you purchase this safe.
