Excellent product & customer service

I bought a time lock safe, still working well after 6 months - fast delivery and very solid product. Despite there being a delivery issue with my second order the seller (Dan) maintained very good communication.

Good little safe but…..

Good little safe, except the reset button doesn’t work.
So can’t change the combination, stuck with the factory pin which can be found on the internet.

You will not be disappointed

I gave this product and the company five stars because the service and customer support are second to none. I promise you that if you are reluctant about buying this product because of concerns or issues you will not be disappointed by the quick response and support from customer service. Dan was a pleasure to work with and the safe is beefy and robust and the electronics are easy to work with and as advertised. I am using it as a productivity tool to lock my devices for few hours while I work and it is great and trustworthy.

Dan and Genie Hand deserve 5-stars!

There are almost no manufacturers [that I could find] of time-lock or countdown-operated safes. A few companies manufacture plastic safes/containers, but I see these as more of a novelty because if you really want to open them, you can break them with a hammer quite easily. If you genuinely want something that will refuse you access to it's contents, you probably want something made of stronger materials, like metal.

I decided to give Genie Hand a go and purchased their smallest, countdown timer safe. I wanted a safe where I could program it to open in 1 hour, or 2 days, for example. They also sell safes with a traditional time-lock, where you can set the exact time and date that the safe will open.

There are so many uses for these safes: Locking away distracting devices/phones and controlling credit card spending being the most obvious. I dont smoke but people could use them to control access to cigarettes and I can imagine parents could use it to prevent access to video game equipment. Why there arn't more devices like these on the market, I do not know. They are a really great idea.

I have been very, very impressed by this safe, and by the owner Dan who I contacted a few times to ask some questions. He is very friendly, courteous and professional. He replied to my email questions quickly and it leaves me feeling confident that if, in the future, I might need technical assitance then I will not be left alone.

The safes are, in my opinion, very reasonably priced given that they seem to be manufactured fresh by Dan and his team, so they arn't just cheap safes purchased elsewhere, reboxed and posted to you. Mine came with insructions, emergency back-up keys and a felt mat for protecting items inside from scratching. There are video instructions on Dan's website, which allows you to visualise the process of setting the safe up.

I originally purchased a small safe, but decided I wanted to upgrade to the medium size. I was going to return the small safe and Dan provided me with the company address details, but I actually just kept both safes because now my partner has a mini safe of his own!

The electronic locking mechanism inside both of my safes seems very high quality - it functions using a rotating dial and there's a bright blue LCD/LED screen which displays your desired countdown time. You can also turn up/down the volume of beeping sounds the safe makes when the safe eventually unlocks. I also like that operation of the door is easy. You don't have to enter in your code and press special buttons to lock the safe, simply close the door and turn the knob.

I wish Dan and Genie Hand all the best for commercial success as he has manufactured a very high quality, extremely useful product and I'm sure if more people knew that devices like this existed, then I'm sure most people would find good use for them.

Five Stars! *****

Hi Marty,
Thank you for the great review.

What you wrote reflects exactly what I have tried to achieve over the years:
I can’t express how valuable this review is to us, and how much I personally appreciate it.

Take care,

Great product

Their timelock countdown safe has been a life saver for me, I couldn't stop my addiction until I got the safe. It works perfectly and as intended.
Their support is great too, Dan helped me using video call on whatsapp, and I didn't have to wait for their support.
I am grateful that I finally found someone selling such thing.

Lost in transit.

I am very frustrated. I initially asked about a replacement key and noticed the pictures were different shapes. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t ordering the wrong thing. I recieved an email back in under 25 hours. That was awesome, however, the guy was a little bit of a jerk. He basically told me it was the right key, don’t be so dumb. There were no pleasantries or niceties beyond there facts. That was a little frustrating, but I decided it wasn’t worth a complaint. I went ahead and ordered the key. This was over a month ago. At this point in time, I still have not received the key I ordered. The transaction was placed February 18 and I was sent an email with a tracking number from fed ex. I can attach copies or send them if needed. I have been patiently waiting for the arrival with no luck. I tried to contact someone once with no luck and currently when I look up the item fed ex says that it is in transit. The history shows that it was in Italy and is now in Memphis, TN. It has been unmoving in Memphis for over a 10 days, even though the dates claim otherwise. It also said Memphis a week ago. I am on Idaho, so you can imagine my confusing for heading overseas and then getting stuck in Memphis. I wouldn’t have ordered this if I had known it would take this long and now I am get to review requests from the company that was rude and dismissive and has not inquired to see if I even received the product… which I have not. This doesn’t even get me to talking about the actual safe I purchased 1 year ago, and the complaints I have about that.

Hi,
it's always me, Dan, I'm sorry I couldn't help you before, as expected.
The email you have received about the review is automatic, it comes from Trustpilot.com and I don't have control over it. Personally, I find it a bit invasive, but this is how Trustpilot works and I couldn't change its settings. Sorry about this.
I'm not sure how I have been rude in this exchange below, I'm sorry if I was "a bit of a Jerk", I didn't think at all you were dumb for asking, actually it was a proper question, 0 can be confused with O and you were right at asking. I normally try to be super nice with everyone, but probably this time I was too concise.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Hello,
I need a replacement key for my safe. I am not sure if the number is H0015 with zeros or if it is HOO15 with the letter O and the key in the pictures is flat and the key to the safe is round. Is that just the picture or am I looking at the wrong thing? I am hoping you can help guide me.

Thank you!!

----------------------------
Hi .......,
the code is H0015. You can purchase a key directly on the website

Dan

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I confirm that the key got lost in Memphis and I don't think it will be ever delivered.
I have just sent you a new key with a fast shipment, it should take 2 days. I'm also refunding the cost you sustained to buy the key and the shipment. You were supposed to receive it 1 month ago and you didn't, it's not my fault but absolutely not yours, so I prefer to fully refund you on this purchase.

Sorry again for this inconvenience.
Write back with any questions and let me know if you don't receive the key by Wednesday.
I would also like to offer you a 30% discount in case you needed a new safe.
This is the tracking number for this shipment with FedEx: 77634717.....

Good customer service

While initially I had a problem with my order, customer service was very helpful in getting it resolved. They fixed the problem and did a good job.

We are really sorry about this unfortunate mistake. The code you can see on the key differs from the one you have on the lock, that is OK, the codes match based on an algorithm so for example, U9149 can be identical to U1423. But in your case, I must have made a mistake in selecting your correct key code. I have issued a total refund and we are ready to ship you the correct key with the fastest service available.
Sorry again for the hassle we have caused.

Firstly the shipping was very fast

Firstly the shipping was very fast, and the product arrived without issues.

Also, it basically does work as advertised.

The main thing I would ask would be to include more detail in the manual about certain things. For example - does the timer get reset when you change the batteries? Likewise, I have to turn the dial clockwise in two separate steps to open my safe. That's fine, but it isn't documented and took me a little while to figure out.

There is no way to check the remaining time once the safe is locked. An external display or Bluetooth link would be useful for that.

Overall a good and decent product.

Hi, we have traced your package, it's waiting to be collected at the DHL point. I have requested a new attempt to deliver it.

UPDATE

I have two of the Lock Boxes. The first one is flawless. The second one was difficult to program (multiple attempts required) and the lock is very stiff. Fairly priced for the product and customer service is good.
