Has anyone tested it if an emergency should arise? Considering the tighting mechanism at the base, would it be easily removed from the inside?

because it is designed, I suspect, to take pressure from a specific direction, I think it will hold off a marauder long enough to call 911, escape through another door and/or get out a baseball bat. If I needed to get out that particular door quickly, I think I could kick is sideways to dislodge it.

It's screwed in. I think it would not be wise to leave it out. I expect it would be wobbly.

I haven't tried it myself but don't see why it wouldn't be safe. Just don't do it with the lid on just in case.

No, you do not need to make it to make it very tight in order for it to be closed.

All I can say is the door should close tight, in order to be fire proof. If loose heat would buid inside enough to start burning inside. My door close very tight. You should be ok for theft, against minor theives. These will not keep out an expert safe person. Like mine for what it is, it will work fine for what I use it for. Also keep important papers, etc in bank safe deposit box.

They go so tight that only a significant force could get enough force to pull it apart. We use it for our tv and two tall narrow bookcases without problems.

not at all.. you just have to push and pull out gently.. and thats it.. if it doesn't work as i said they might have some damage.

Yes. I never take mine out. Being inside the unit is the safest it can be. Mine is installed in my jeep wrangler.

It's structural. I'm not positive why it exists, but my guess is that it has to do with keeping tension on the back panel. You might be able to get a fingernail under it and pull it shut.

I would say no. The whole thing is sealed up with a sort of valve. I see no way to open it.

I haven't had any troubles. I don't think it's powerful enough to cause any damage, otherwise it would be quite a poor design flaw. Several smartphone and tablet cases utilize such methods to secure the device.

it closes pretty tight--if you have strong critters they might be able to pop it up,but i don't think so--it's pretty secure.

It is a very tight fit, sort of snaps in. I haven't had any problem with getting mine out of the case.

As long as you can seal the ends, you can evacuate it and it will not collapse at all. I bought this to replace the glass tube that I used for a physics demo where a penny and feather fall through the evacuated space. I've gotten it down to about 1kPa and had no trouble.

I have had some of these storage containers for years. The seal has never gotten loose to get germs behind it. I couldn't get the seal out. It is set in a very tight space. To take it out would possibly damage the product. I would ask the manufacturer for more specific instructions.

I just removed mine again to test it and found that it can be removed relatively easy without any issues. Good Luck!

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.
