Would I be able to add any small items to it without compromising the packaging? In other words, once I open it can it be shut again securely?

Hi Millie,Some of the items inside the bucket are boxed and/or wrapped. When you remove the box/wrapping it opens up quite a bit of extra space. I've been able to add a few extra items such as an extra first-aid kit, batteries and a roll of duct tape with room to spare. I hope this helps!Regards,Ben Amp

Yes you can close the bin securely after opening it! There is room for a few small items

Everything is individually wrapped in the bucket. I've opened ours when it arrived and took some stuff out and didn't have a problem getting it back in. However it's quite tight and there really isn't room to add anything unless it's really small.

It's a simple bucket with a lid on it. It doesn't have any special sealing, so you can easily add something without disrupting the initial packaging state. (It will be as secure as throwing something in a bucket with a lid on it.)

There is a tiny screw that you need to open so it will slide out. Once you install it in a box you can put it back and lock the screw.

Maybe, but it would probably be really difficult to open if you put it that tight, you'd probably do better with a new fridge seal if you are trying.

It doesn't have like holes or latches or anything. I also don't see why you would want to since it isn't meant to be used as a safe, just as a fire-resistance storage box.

When opened into its full position then yes it will stay open and you have to put it back down. If you just open it partially then it closes itself.

I don't believe you can close it at all and "lock it" without scrambling the combo. So if you want to leave it open and scrambled and then just have them click it closed on their way out you should be good to go. I have 3 of these on outside fence gates and we have been very happy with them.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

Hi Shirley. Honey, if you just put in the individual items, however, NOT the unit itself, it could be ruined.

No, the two sides do not come completely apart. I think there might be a slight chance to spill items if not opened carefully. You would need to make sure the box is laying on one side so that side does not spill when opening the other side.

I do not have that problem. Could it have so sort of packing stuff in it? My knob was packed very secure.

Don't remember having any issues opening it. Maybe you have a defective package.

In my opinion, if the unit is folded down in the storage position with the cover installed, it would be difficult to steal.No, it can not be locked on. With some ingenuity you could adapt it to lock.

If u can tape it down yes...because is hard to keep it open..since it comes folded

Hi Craig, It is secure enough that it needs to be intentionally opened. Thanks

Should be securely sealed, I'd return it for a replacement. Product is great though so for sure try it!

hmmm, you can leave it out, however, either way the box needs something to tie it together. It was much smaller than I wanted. It isn't something I use much

I have not tried as it would mean to disassemble. Might be possible but is not meant to be removed by design. I guess security would find the whole thing risky even withouth the nice. There are quit a few sharp tools on this beauty.
