Vaultz Portable File Storage Box with Handle - 14.5" x 17.5" x 15.5" Letter/Legal Size Mobile Lock Box - Double Combination Locking Cabinet - Black

I use these boxes regularly for court, especially trials. The design has changed a little over the years, but remains essentially the same as 15 years ago. We're rough on them. We'll throw a bankers box on top and wheel them from parking to courtroom. I use these a few times a week, daily during trial. They last a few years before the handles break off the sides or the extending handle busts. There are more robust options but none that look as nice, few that lock. I wish they were tougher. I'd pay for Vaultz boxes that were all metal, no cardboard. I'd pay for stronger handles that were a few inches longer. I'm not that tall, like five foot nine. The handles are just a bit too short. I'd pay for some kind of organizer in the lid, just a few mesh pockets, pen loops, or zipper pockets. I don't need a ton of supplies in court, but I'd like to have the trial box hold them instead of losing table space or having to bring a briefcase. Same for IT gear like chargers and cords. Vaultz are the best looking trial boxes by far, I just wish they were the most functional, too. That said, for the price, they bring a lot to the table and do the job. For example, the links won't stop a determined thief. I've popped them with a Cross pen. They will keep a dishonest prosecutor or snoopy bailiff out of your work product, though. The wheels could be much better if they were a bit bigger and more durable, such as inline skate wheels. Overall, plenty of space for books, binders, and files. Relatively secure. Professional appearance. Takes a fair bit of abuse. Worth the money. I haven't found anything else better and I look for better every time some associate drops one down a flight of stairs or yanks the handle off one dragging it through a busted up country court parking lot. Over 100 jury trials, vaultz has been there for nearly every one.

The wheels and telescoping handle were a big part of why I chose this one. My work insisted on the locks. They chose a different one for me made of rubberized cloth and cardboard. I passed theirs off to another agent in my office within a few days and bought this instead for a few bucks more than their choice. Worth every penny, plus. In most ways, this is perfect. A couple of pockets in the lid for office supplies or phone, pen holders, and bars on the sides to support legal size hanging folders. It comes with a cushioned laptop sleeve and has two built-in dividers to help organize the spacious interior. The locks are as sturdy as one could expect from the product’s price point, and far better than the one my work chose. My only complaint is that one of the side bars for hanging folders snapped off within a few weeks. But I probably overloaded it. I have been using the built-in dividers to organize my files instead, and it still works great. Highly recommended.

Product was not as large dimension wise as I thought, and not as sturdy as I thought but overall a good product to store my documents and deter curious/nosy minds. Please not that the dimensions are smaller than I expected because the measurements take into account the outside handles/wheels (side, back and bottom). Thus giving the impression that it would be more that adequate for legal size files AND Folders. It is actually adequate for legal size folders but it is a snug fit. Furthermore, not as sturdy as I thought but it is lighter in weight. This is not meant for protection from anyone wanting to break in to see what is inside. A basic screw driver or box cutter can easily do that, But it is a decent deterrent from curious minds. For that purpose, it is adequate and met my expectations.

I didn’t need a big file cabinet, this size was perfect for me although the inside is roomy. I liked it being on wheels so I could transport it easily. The lid closes tightly and it’s waterproof. Although it’s all it’s sturdy and durable.

I bought this on 08/19/2015 and was overall pleased with the case. I'm an accountant that works in two different offices. I take my client files with me when I travel between offices and needed an easier way to cart them around than the reusable grocery bag I had been using. This case fit all my needs wonderfully. The case fit all my documents and supplies and traveled between offices quite well. The cons to this case are chiefly the handle, the wheels, and durability. I'm 5'8" and the handle doesn't quite allow me to pull it behind me without hitting my heels. The wheels did hold up over loose gravel but when rolling across smooth tile floors, they are LOUD! Durability-wise I was pleased with how it held up overall. The lid however began separating from the back hinge on the left side. This didn't effect the case integrity but today the left side lock jammed. The sliding mechanism that locks/unlocks became stuck in the middle and I couldn't get my case open. My husband was forced to rip the lid in order for me to get to my files. Overall I was quite pleased with my purchase, but next time I will get a case that has a handle that's long enough for even an average-sized person like myself, since that's my biggest issue.

I purchased a Vaultz Portable File Box with Handle Back in 4/2023 from Amazon. I use it only about 2x a month to transport confidential files from home to work and vice versa. The handle was not the sturdiest from the get go then became looser and has now fallen off completely. Now all I have is a locking box on wheels. I have used the same Vaultz file boxes over the years (they anre not the greatest but they were the only option I have found) and this one was the worst yet quality wise. Others lasted a couple of years or so. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Seeing how the handle was held on to the box left a lot to be desired. They essentially used 4 (tiny) circular metal prongs to affix the handle to the (thin MDF?) box and those prongs simply wore a hole in the box that they were affixed to. Not even glue to reinforce the handle on the box - just the tiny prongs. Shame on Vaultz! How was that supposed to transport a box full of heavy paper files (as is the intent of the device)? I am attaching video. I am so disgusted with this ridiculous design flaws. The Vaultz company has gone severely down hill. Hoping Vaultz customer service resolves the issue as I wrote them an email.

I really like the color of this model I have another one that's a different color. These are great for travel if you need to lock things up semi securely in your hotel room. Great for curing files. Has a really good handle and good Wheels. I think they're worth the price especially if you're doing legal work and have to go between a lot of different locations.

This case has a nice appearance for when I am taking large or multiple files to court. roomy and simple. I've had this case for several months now... Quality is consistent with low price. The case arrived with one of the riveted corner protectors loose in the box. I was able to repair it rather than wait several days for return/exchange. The construction of the sides/top is pretty flimsy fiberboard. But I do not expect this to last years. However, I schlep this thing in and out of my car and take 5-20 pounds of files home with it often. Not hardware failures and the rollers have held up. The handle is WAY too short (ok if you're 5'7" ... but I'm 6'5"). All court case/briefcase handles are too short for me, but this one is about 6" shorter than typical case pull handles. I'd buy it again. It's exactly what I wanted and expected for the price. The "flaws" are more than tolerable. If it had a recessed top handle on the lid, it'd be perfect. Without one as it is, it makes for easy stacking. But it's cumbersome to lift in & out of a car with only the side handles.
