Discription says to apply pressure to top while opening. BULL!! I applied pressure, then I tried kneeling on it, then I stood on it and finally stomped the FOOL out of it!! It does not open!!! Very disappointed in this product.

Like others, I tried to use the safe and noticed it wouldn't shut. I stood on it, etc. Nothing. When we first purchased it, we had trouble opening it up but thought nothing about it (WRONG!). Now it is out of warranty. Shame on me.

Parts of the safe broke within two weeks of purchase.\nDo I have to say more?\nI don't think that it is ideal for frequent use.

I purchased fire safe F3300. Upon receipt, lid stuck shut. Latch would not move. Factory said to press on lid. It took several attempts of 200 + lbs. down force on lid at latch end to get latch to unlatch. It's simply a cheap, flimsy, sheet metal / plastic, sloppy tolerances latch that is too short. I fixed with small rat tale file and reshaped the half moon notch (movable part) by filing away approx. .020 inch keeping the same profile. This made latch in effect slightly longer. Caution - metal bends easily. File cautiously. Made several attempts filing little at at a time. Now works good, with 10 lbs. downward force on lid to open latch. Don't believe factory story about cold temp., vacuume, as to why lid won't open. I very disappointed with Sentry and their inexpensive latch. Not very secure - I think burgler could bust open with 2 heavy screwdrivers in 2 minutes. This entire fix process took 2 + hrs. and wife yelling at me to return this broken safe... My nerves are shot. Not recommended unless willing to fix it yourself. jlk- project engr.-[...]
