How tamper resistant is this device? I understand it has a key but how difficult to break into it would it be?

I find that it is very tamper proof. But if someone like an addic has one I'm sure they could break it. I like it very much. Now I don't have to run to my brother's house every day.

I believe the device is quite tamper resistant. It would be difficult to break into it in order to access the meds without having access to the key. My elderly father could not get into it, and he has tried. However, as with any mechancial device, if there's a will there may be a way for a motivated and perhaps more cognitively-capable and physically strong user than my father.

It's made of hard plastic so you could conceivably take a hammer and break into it. It's designed for a senior citizen not to over dose themselves and get their medications at the appropriate time. You can't reach forward or back into the previous dosing tray.

I ordered this to replace a like rental - that was ordered by my brother's head nurse. She was familiar with it and felt comfortable no one could access the med tray without the key. Two keys come with the tray. However, nothing is guaranteed no one can access. Use your own judgment whether to order or not.

I purchased for my mother, but she refused to use it. It looked like a quality product but I can't speak to how "tamperproof" it is

This is reasonably secure. A thief with basic hand tools would be hard-pressed to get in or take the unit. The cable-locking system it comes with could be easily overcome with bolt-cutters and the box itself could be easily broken into with a crowbar, or something similar with leverage. But for an average vehicle break-in, they would be hard-pressed to get at or take your weapon. For the car, I use the smaller case for a single Glock 19 or 26.

Programmin was not easy. But you can use the five buttons on the right side to enter your pin. The front of the handlel has a plug that pops out to reveal a keyway. The lock is not "high security" but conveneint for a door that requires more than a passage set.

I may be late to answer this but I will anyway. I broke the key off in the safe by just bumping it. They are very soft keys. I used a pick to remove the stub. Took the other key to my local locksmith and for $3 they made me a quality key. Later went back and had another made just to be safe :-)

I have to agree with beholder242. The lock is as robust as it can be considering the application. I don't believe that the average person could defeat it simply by trying to pick it.

This model has a simple lock that would not be difficult for a motivated person to defeat. It is about as sophisticated as a lock on a paper towel dispenser. Perfectly effective for a senior who might shake it or probe it with a finger. The next model up has a more standard lock and would be more appropriate for a narcotic security situation. Nevertheless, a good effort with a hammer could break the device open regardless of the lock.

With the encryption constantly enabled on this USB flash drive, I would think it would not work. Even with the Drive formatted, it would not work.

All of my requests to get the keys when thru amazon to the seller. That would be the first thing I would try. Next, go to HOMAK . com and see what happens. I hope this helps. I also added a hasp and another lock. Any thing to make it take longer to break into.

It has only 1 set of keys. A thief can also have a bolt cutter or a hammer and chisel. I wouldn't worry about multiple keys.

this may not help much, but there was a push of the knob before turning to the secret number, which is on the bottom of the safe. it is tricky for sure, but once we got it, worked easily,however, once you get it open ...keys very hard to use. we bent the key trying to open. I wish I hadn't thrown away all the packing, to send it back. sorry

Yes FYI Its not a high security lock. More of a convenience of not needing a key or remembering a combination.

We attempted to fool it as well and all failed. We never thought about someone trying to duplicate a fingerprint to fool it. We have a house alarm so it's really just a primary line of defense and more of a convenience for us not to have to worry about our teenager carrying a key.

All you have to do is enter the password when you insert the USB and click the USB's icon and all your files are available for opening. Really easy actually. I'm pretty sure they are not encrypted...if it is, it automatically decrypts when you enter the correct password.

you need either a fingerprint or combination code to open it. the physical key is used to completely lock the safe, so neither of those 2 methods can be used, but it cannot be used by itself to open the safe

Oops... I did the same thing. This is a dumb device - with a mechanical memory - only knowing 1 combination. I ended up cutting the cable. - Good news, it's a good lock - it was difficult to cut. I replaced with a number lock - I can remember -better. Sorry, Jim

The x-7599 is tamper resistant. Well worth the extra few bucks if you have children in your house.
