Kitchen Safe Time Locking Container (Medium), Timed Lock Box for Cell Phones, Snacks, and other unwanted temptations (White Lid + 14cm Clear Base with Access Port)

This kitchen safe is a well designed product. Simple to use; you just bunk the thing you want to limit access to in and put the lid on. Turn the big dial on the top to set the time from anything between one minute and ten days. Then you press the big dial and then you get a 5 second countdown in which you can change your mind by pressing the big dial again. If you don't stop the 5second countdown then the locks will whirr out into their sockets, locking the contents for the time length you set. If at any time you want to increase the time duration then you can do so by pressing the dial again. You can't reduce the time. Nice little LCD screen showing the time left, and you can watch the countdown by the second. Once the time has elapsed, the lock will whirr back in again and you can get you cigarettes, booze, chocolate etc. Only way to cheat the device is to break it. It has fairly thick plastic, but maybe too easy to break for anyone who has a strong need for the contents. I find it helps limit my access to Nicorette's Quickmist, which I use too much of out of boredom, and limit my access in another ksafe for junk food. You can also use it to lock away keys, maybe keys to a cupboard of food, drink etc...or car keys, if you like. If the battery dies while the safe is locked, the time lapse will stay in the memory, and you can replace the battery, and the countdown will start again. It can pay for itself, simply by limiting your access to expensive stuff, and maybe improve you health. You can also put mobile phone devices in it, for example over night so you won't be tempted to check your phone, and enable you to get some sleep...well there are lots of possibilities.

This gadget is brilliant and I would give it ten stars if I could. We use it to help us control our alcohol consumption. We put our bottles in a locked box and put the key to the box in the Kitchen Safe. We set the safe to open first thing in the morning (when we have no interest in drinking alcohol!), decide how much, if any, we want to get out for the evening, and then put the keys back in the safe until the next morning. We thought it was a bit expensive just for a box to lock our key away in but it has already paid for itself as we now drink less alcohol. It is well made and nice to handle. The timer works well. When setting it, you can turn the dial backwards as well as forwards which is useful. We don't normally keep unhealthy food in the house so that we can't eat it and we experimented with buying and locking away some chocolate but that didn't work. Our normal strategy of not buying it in the first place means that we almost never eat it, but locking it away meant that we started to eat a bit every day so we quickly reverted to not buying it. I would definitely recommend the Kitchen Safe.

The Kitchen Safe Timing Lock Container is a great way to lock up items for a set period of time. This can be used to lock away food, but also other items such as TV Remotes, Phones, Xbox Controllers etc. The box is large and well built, once locked there is no way to open it without breaking the box or waiting for the timer to go to zero. The box is expensive for what it is, although in some ways this is good as you won't want to just break open the box damaging it.

Love this invention! It's massively helped me stop binge eating chocolate! I now fill it with chocolates and take out a few, lock it straight away and then set it to unlock the next day meaning I can now look forward to something sweet each day without making myself feel sick! Plus at Christmas, Easter or birthdays I will be able to stuff it with chocolate and really enjoy eating it gradually rather than laying around in a sugar induced coma feeling rubbish. It seems fairly on the expensive side but it's worth it as its very well made and the electronics are impressive..easy to use and faultless. Some reviews say it's a bit smaller than hoped but I disagree- it fits well in the cupboard and a whole box of chocolates fills up only about a fifth of its capacity.

Fantastic

This has worked really well for me. I understand there may be workarounds to getting in to it but I've avoided them. I've used the medium to store my game controller as I was playing it excessively. It's very easy to use. You just need about 10 seconds of willpower. To be honest it's a relief not being able to do something sometimes

I must have activated it less than 40 times and the locking mechanism has stopped moving. Just a timer now. Unfortunately outside Amazon's return window.

Not totally secure. Use to hold cigarettes, but got impatient and managed to pry lid off with a screwdriver without breaking it. Now I know it can be done, it's essentially useless

El producto es tal y como lo presentan. El metraquilato es muy resistente y la tapa lleva un boton rotatorio muy suave y preciso que despues de introducir el tiempo que queremos bloquearlo hay que pulsar. Buena calidad de materiales. Lo utilizo para guardar el movil de mis hijos a la hora de la comida y la cena, así como para estudiar. (Ellos lo odian, claro) El unico punto debil es que la tapa que contiente las dos pilas ajusta bien pero tiene tendencia a abrirse un poquito. Nada importante. Por el resto...ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLE.

My phone can barely fit and it's Pixel 7 - smaller than the pro. It is awkward and the case gets squished. I don't understand who came up with this size - literally an inch larger would solve the problem. Returning.

Works exactly as advertised. You can adjust the time interval as specific as you want (1day 4 hour 25 minutes). But it is a bit overpriced considering it's just a container with a lock timer.

Ich bin bis jetzt sehr zufrieden mit dem Teil. Da ich teils so viele Süßigkeiten hier habe, die ich von der Familie zugesteckt bekomme, konnte ich gar nicht so viel in dem Behälter unterbringen. Deshalb habe ich diese in einen Schrank gepackt und den Schlüssel in die "Zeitkapsel" gesteckt und programmiert. Wenn die Batterie entnommen wird, merkt sich das Gerät, wo es stehen geblieben ist, oder fängt gar neu an zu zählen. Ich habe bis jetzt keinen Cheat oder override gefunden, um das Teil über eine Hintertüre zu öffnen. Einfach genial gemacht. Aber man sollte es von Kindern fernhalten, nicht dass die Fernbedienung von Papas Fernseher mal da drinnen liegt und zehn Tage nicht benutzt werden kann. Aber die "gnadenlosigkeit" dieses Gerätes macht es genial. Haltet es von Kindern fern und nutzen Sie es mit Bedacht. Dann werden Sie hoffentlich lange Freude an Ihrem Gerät haben, über die Lebensdauer kann ich natürlich hier keine Auskunft geben, ich habe es erst seit heute.

Product was shipped very quickly, and was easy to assemble. Tested the product a few times with 1-2 minute times for the lock, worked perfectly ! Would buy again if I needed another.
