SentrySafeSFW123DSB Fireproof Safe and Waterproof Safe with Dial Combination 1.23 Cubic Feet Gray

Great compact safe . Won't fool a professional burgler, but will very much help stop a non pro! Install a safe proxmity sensor and door contact to you security alarm system and you will buy some time! If you are bolting down to concrete slab use 2 hour or higher fire caulking around the bolts and holes you drill.

Exactly as advertised, it is quite heavy though and it feels even heavier than it is because there’s not much to grab onto when you’re moving it.

Safe works fine, but corner came heavily damaged out of the box. No visible signs of damage to box, so it must have been packaged that way.

Handle and dial seem a little cheap but it does work good.

Great safe. Glad I ran across it while searching. Well worth the money. Very Heavy. Great quality.

The storage capacity is wonderful just the right size . The thickness and weight is very heavy doesn't feel cheap very secure . The lock ability is great with 2 functions. Very much impressed and pleased.

I bought this safe after my mother passed away to store documents, coins, stamps and a couple antique metal items. Nowhere in the Amazon description, provided by SentrySafe, are there any warnings about what not to store. The images that SentrySafe provides show books, a camera, and what looks like photo albums, none of which are in airtight containers. The first description is on Amazon "...safe for irreplaceable documents, valuables, DVDs, and USBs...". How I read that is that if you can store irreplaceable documents, USBs, and such than it is safe to store a wide range of items.I haven't opened the safe for a month or so and opened it to add some items. The first thing I noticed was a strong odor of mildew. I removed some items, and they were moist, as I checked other items some leather products were covered in mildew and the antique metal items were starting to rust. I then got out the manual and I noticed that it states, "SentrySafe products which offer fire protection have a proprietary insulation that has a high moisture content". The safe did come with three large moisture packets which I left in. Then it continues "DO NOT store delicate items directly in your safe". It then goes on to list jewelry with working parts, watches, stamps, or photos. SentrySafe recommends putting them into an airtight container to protect against moisture. Then it goes on to state, do not store pearls, computer disks, audio-visual cassettes, or photo negatives? What the hack can you store in it then?So, after I received the safe the first thing I did was find the combination and how to open it, simple. I put the manual away, loaded it up and then locked it only to find irreplaceable items being ruined. Yes, I should have read all the warnings in the manual but saw no indication of any "warnings" in the Amazon description on what and what not to store. But come on folks, do you read all the warnings with new products? We know not to put kids in refrigerators or plastic bags, don't use a hair dryer in the bathtub, or knives are sharp. The warnings should have been listed in the Amazon description as well as a warning tag on the safe.I contacted Amazon regarding this issue but since the safe is over a year old they wouldn't do anything. So, I tried calling SentrySafe (mid-day) but was on an indefinite hold pattern and hung up. I'll try again in the morning and wait it out to see what the response will be.Update: I tried calling back the next day but once again I hit a long hold time. I've now contacted them via email and the automated reply states they will call me within 3 days, we shall see?This post will be updated with the response from SentrySafe, stay tuned!

This safe is just what we needed! It's strong, roomy, easy to operate and we are so glad we went with the manual dial instead of the electronic--we don't have to worry about replacing batteries or the electronics not working since....there aren't any! It's just a basic manual dial safe. It has a very solid feel and locks up tight! When turning the dial, though, you want to remember to just hold the lever up a bit and you will see how easy it turns by doing that. It's a roomy safe and has two inserts-one a tray and the other a bin, to use for keeping items separated. We like that you can easily adjust both the tray and bin to fit your needs. The combination is preset at the factory and is shown on the back cover of the manual. Make sure to make a note of it some place safe where you can easily find it. The manual also shows the serial number for you so that's good to have in case any issues come up. We drilled into, and through, the floor so did not need the concrete bolts. Actually, we used a couple of 7/16" bolts we had and also the matching nuts and cinched them up nice and snug. Make sure when you drill that you drill from the outside of the safe, not inside. The Bosch drill bits went through the metal easily. We then righted the safe and used a brush to clean out the debris. Some of the debris is sharp so watch for it. The door closes nice and snug however the drilling compromises the waterproof feature but it's well off the main floor so that was not an issue but it is something you want to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to anchor the safe.We read the directions before doing anything and they are very clear and easy to follow.All in all, a great safe and we are very happy with it!!A further note: The bottom of the same is very smooth and we were able to slide it along to it's permanent location!! (We are seniors so paid the fee to have it delivered inside our home. It weighs 125 lbs. so it was well worth it to have the delivery men bring it inside)
