Metal Time Lock Box with Emergency Unlocking, Phone Timed Locked Box with Timer, Timed Locking Container, Audio Prompt, Self-Discipline Gift, 365 Days Max for Cellphone/Medication

I have owned this time lock box now for about three years and it's still working superbly. I purchased this box because it has the rare ability to lock up smaller items and passwords on flash drives for longer than the typical 10 or 30 days. You can set this box to unlock in up to 365 days, which works out great for me and is precisely what I was looking for. The quality is also solid and the timer mechanism has been reliable for years. This is a very well made product.

God bless the people who made this product. It is sturdy, well-made and has all the functions that you would expect and want from a high quality product. I think the devil wants to turn people into phone addicts and this tool is a Godsend to help combat that. Easy to use and set the timer - box even has padding inside to protect your items. I particularly like that it can be plugged into the wall, as I don’t like to waste batteries (I only plug it in during use) but be aware you need to supply your own usb wall plug. It beeps when the time is up, but I really appreciate that you can turn the beep off (hearing that sound can be a dopamine rush to the brain to start using your phone again). Overall fantastic product. I researched a lot before buying and this product is superior to all the others I found in this price range.

I was looking for a decent sized container with a timed locking mechanism. This product was the perfect size and built solid. I liked the fact that it works on batteries with a backup USB connection. The lock asks the user to enter minutes, hours, or days to lock. The first item I ordered did not show the display correctly when using batteries and I contacted the customer support and they were OUTSTANDING. The customer support responded quickly and replaced the product. I highly recommend this lock box and I am very pleased with the function, quality, and customer support. I don’t usually enter a lot of reviews but this product definitely deserves five stars.

I received the lockbox on time, but unfortunately it was already locked and set to open in 50 days. UPDATE I had to come back and update my (sort of) unfair review. I now believe that because of the muddled instructions provided, I accidentally set the lock for 50 days myself. I wrote customer support and received a much clearer guide to unlock it in this "emergency". The box is sturdy and really works well. After taking my daily allotment of smokes out, I set it to unlock the next day. This has enabled me to cut back from 30+ cigs a day to precisely 9.

For strict time-out occasions this lock box is great. You can put your child's phone in here for the night and they will be able to retrieve it in the morning, without having to bother you for a key or combination, both of which pose some security concerns. It can be powered by a USB-C cable or batteries that are inserted on the inside of the lid. If you use the USB-C without batteries, and unplug it the timer continues to function but it will not unlock until the time expires and you plug it in again. If you use batteries it will work seamlessly as you expect, unless the batteries die and you have to plug in a USB-C cable in order to unlock it. In all cases the timer functions properly. This is all that isn't intuitive in its operation.

You can unlock it by paying $20 (they say the money is donated to a charity which is pretty cool, as long as it’s actually true). I’ve come to realize that this feature—the get out of jail (not) free card— sucks. I mean for one, it’s a scientific fact that willpower is a finite resource. It eventually runs out for everyone. I feel like this is definitely something this seller knows which is why they’ve used it to their advantage. Well, I guess to the charity’s advantage. Let’s think about it. They are marketing a metal lockbox because it is more difficult to break into than the generic plastic ones. So, they understand their audience is one that already has a tendency to lack self control and these buyers opt for the metal option because they don’t trust themselves to not break it, or do whatever it takes to open the box (breaking or prying open the plastic ones). Aka this is specifically marketed to people that are almost guaranteed to pay that $20 fee multiple times. But just to be sure, they make paying it very easy to do—by providing you with an actual get out of jail free card where you just need to scan a quick QR code and enter your credit card info. Even if they’re not forcing you to pay extra, they know that once those cravings intensify, you will very likely pay if you’re given an opportunity to do so. To make the opportunity just a little more tempting, they give you a free pass to unlock it early for the first time. After doing it once you are much more likely to come back and do it again in the future (also a proven fact). Last thing is that you will negotiate with yourself that, since the money is going to a good cause, it wouldn’t be the worst decision in the world to pay the $20. So you pay it. Is anyone else wondering if this money is actually being donated to a charity….? Anyways, if you’re planning on buying this because you struggle with with addiction and think it will help you build willpower, I advise you to think again. It’s a grantee that you’re gonna spend a extra money unlocking this thing before the time runs out. If you want to hold yourself accountable, get one that doesn’t have this feature. The Ksafe timer lock box would be a better option than this one. If you’re still set on buying this one, then an accountability partner would be helpful to prevent you from unlocking it early. Or another idea is to throw out the “get out of jail free card” before you get the chance to use it. I put quotations, but don’t let that fool you— it’s a literal business card. And while I’m at it, I also think the beeping noise is really loud and annoying when it counts down before locking or just when you’re pressing the buttons. The volume can’t be adjusted either. To be blunt, the solution to your problem is not a lock box—it is going to therapy so you can learn how to address/remove the triggers in your life and develop healthy coping mechanisms to avoid the behavior in the future.

used to quit vaping and using ecigarettes, started with 15 mins...30 mins, 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, 6hr, 8hr, 12hr, now dont use the nicotine or ecigs at all

Sturdy metal box for smart phone so that phone can’t be used while locked. Can be easily set for longer periods. Hole on side for recharging is handy. Very satisfied.

Llevo un par semanas usándola y es bastante útil, le enseña disciplina a mis sobrinos para concentrarse en los deberes y esperan contentos su hora libre para jugar a la nintendo. No parece ser una caja indestructible pero si es aprueba de niños. Sugiero ser cuidadoso con la cantidad de tiempo de bloqueo ya que no se puede abrir una vez bloqueada y más si guardas cosas importantes como un celular que puede ser ocupado hasta para una emergencia.

I've only had it for a day so we'll see how it holds up, but feels like a really high quality box. Included manual is not in english but the item listing here provides all the instructions you need. The emergency unlock procedure does have english instructions though. Includes a USB cable for emergency power too. Overall very happy, but man that hour without my phone last night was a rough one!

très bien cette boîte ! cependant comment couper le son ?

This is a fantastic product and has genuinely improved how my partner and I watch films and TV shows together. We both had a habit of quickly checking our phones for details about what we were watching, which inevitably turned into scrolling social media and losing focus. This lock box has completely solved that problem. The box itself feels good quality and well made. It runs on 4 AA batteries and has a soft lining inside, which is a nice touch and keeps our phones protected. The timer function is very easy to use, and the memory feature makes it super convenient to reset it for the next episode without any hassle. Simple, effective, and does exactly what it’s meant to do. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to cut down on distractions and be more present.
