Nice Safe at a Reasonable Price
Easy setup and plenty of room for our needs. Use of my hand truck helped with placement given the safe’s weight and bulk. Lighted keypad and interior light are nice features.

Good safe, just a little too small for my needs
The safe is easy to setup and feels very sturdy. I had no issue creating our own code to get the safe open. My only issue with the safe is that it doesn't fit a 3-ring binder with our full trust documents when laying the binder down. I am able to fit the 3-ring binder when I stand it up like a book, but then I cannot use the interior shelf feature of the safe.

Safe learning curve.
I found the safe to be as advertised. I had some confusion about the key which it turns out is a "secondary" lock. Meaning if you use the key to lock, you must first unlock before the entry code will work. Not a bad idea actually. The other problem I had was with the batteries. The combination worked sporadically. I was informed that I should use only the Energizer bran...

Solid security
A solid safeguard for valuables and peace of mind. Disappointed that a couple of shelves did not come with the safe.

Every household should have this Safe!
Very strong material, well made and easy to setup for use. Directions were easy to follow and allowed us to quickly setup two different codes for access. The free warranties to cover the contents of the safe and to replace the safe if ever in a fire are incredible and can't be beat. I definitely recommend this safe to my family and friends.

Some Concerns
Good Safe - I purchased because I need a fire proof safe for documents that are in a 3 ring binder. The inside dimensions stated are not correct for all areas and there is only a small area that I can use because the door takes up some of the space. Also, please update your owners manual to clarify which batteries are required, This caused a great deal of problems for m...

Performs as promised
Safe performs as described. Easy to open and set multiple passwords. I feel much better storing sensitive paperwork and valuables. Hope to never test the Fire and Water rating!

Best of the best
This safe is the best. It is easy to open and the light provided helps greatly. It seems to be very strong and safe for your valuables. It is very heavy as I needed some help to place it on a small pedestal in my closet. Nobody is going to walk out with it due to the weight. It opens and closes easily and has 4 locking pins. For the price you can't beat it.

Perfect size
Great size but the lock box inside w/key is not working. Key will not come out and will not turn making it unusable at this time.

Good Safe.
The Safe is really nice and good enough room to store several items. The only downfall in my opinion is that there is no back up key in the case the electrical keypad completely stops working, Im assuming you either have to take it to a lock smith or break it open somehow or reach out to SentrySafe and who knows how long that will take. Also I had to return the 1st one ...
