As seen on many reviews from many different sites. This is not a trustworthy safe, After 3 years with this safe the handle completely stripped making it inoperable, unfortunately the safe was locked when this happened but I was able to pry the handle off and grab the gear wise vise grips and get the safe open. According to the warranty this type of malfunction is only covered in the first year. I have several other safes with the same style handle, some over 10years old and never had such problem. This is not a safe I would recommend. Spend the extra money and get something a little nicer.

I was very excited to purchase this safe for this price. After reading these reviews I did a search of break into SentrySafe and watched two different locksmiths use a rare earth (not hard to find) magnet and open the safe in seconds. That doesn't make me feel safe and I am getting a refund as a results. It took me hours to find one that will meet my needs but I finally did, and it's a spin dial only. Sentry Safes might fit your needs, but I am surprised that with this knowledge out there, they have not fixed this FATAL FLAW!

I shopped quite a while for security safes. Needed to upgrade from the tiny safe I had. When I found this safe in stock at my local Sam's Club, it was an easy choice. I have no regrets with owning this safe. LOTS of storage space and more. I didn't need to bolt this unit down because it's heavy...MUCH heavier now after I stocked it full of important documents, guns and ammunition. Not even three people could run off with this heavy pig.

Ordered this office safe online for free pickup at my local Sams Club. Order was ready for pickup the next morning. Speedy checkout on their self-checkout lane. Took two of us to lift it into my truck. Well-packaged with reinforced bands; no damage to the safe when unpacked. The only caution I can give is be EXTREMELY careful when you grab the two shelves -- the felt covering DOES NOT wrap under the sheet metal shelf! Very sharp and you can slice your fingers!! The felt cover wraps under the front of the shelf cuz of the front facing, but not the back. Be very careful when you handle them. Quick fix-- I used duct tape the entire length of the back and front to cover the sharp edges; plus it adds extra taping to prevent the felt from ungluing in the future. Easy to enter your own combo code and easy to open with "church key" if batteries die on you. Plenty of space for jewelry & documents. Comes with hardware to bolt to concrete or wood. Excellent buy!

This price blows other retailers out of the water, whether they be brick and mortar or ecommerce. Nice quality product. I bolted it to the floor. With one bolt, I located a floor joist. The other bolt, the supplied vinyl fastener was garbage (no surprise), so I just got a scrap piece of 2"x4" from the garage, and drilled/bolted through the subfloor into that.

I bought this because my neighbor got robbed and the theives walked off with two safes that had firearms and other important things inside. I don't want my firearms used in a crime, so I started shopping better safes than the ones I already had. It fit perfect in my closet and it bolted to the floor within minutes using the correct tools. Even if someone was able to detach it, the thing takes 2 grown men to carry, and its still not an easy task at 163 pounds of steel. I feel comfortable that my things will be safe if the bad guys come to defile my house next.

Safe looks sturdy; it's believable that it is both fire proof and water resistant when locked. The issue is that the handle worked to open the safe only twice on the day of delivery. There has been NO response to the customer care center on how to proceed with return or correction of problem. I will not be stuck with a $500 safe that does not function as intended. This issue will be resolved.

We keep all of our important records in this safe. So glad we are protected in case of a fire.

Like this safe very much, it is sturdy and has a good storage capacity. Wish the keypad housing was made of metal instead of plastic. Had some trouble with registration but, with some diligence, trouble eliminated. Also had some trouble opening but learned, for this particular model, handle lever has to be extremely extended to the right. Other than that, great safe for the money.

I bought this about a month ago and we are Very happy with it. We first bought a finger print access safe-not from here. It may have worked 5 out of 20 times, and that may be an exaggeration. We returned that one and bought this and we are happy we did. It's quick (the most important feature) and easy.
