Being only 163 lbs, I was able to load it up into my truck by myself. Everyone seemed to be too busy. As for as the safe, SentrySafe has always been a good product. Directions easy to follow and that made it easier to secure to the floor. And Yes I'm Already Recommending It To Friends

We were very pleased with this! We both sleep better knowing that important documents and treasures are safe. The factory code did not work! so we used the key. After many failed attempts to use the factory code I pressed the little red reset button. This worked. This advice should have been in the instructions.

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.

This safe is replacing a safe by a different manufacturer that was damaged in an attempted break in. It is similar in size and more secure. We have only had it installed for a few days, but it works well and is easy to program the access code. It also has a backup access code per the manufacturer and two keys. My only complaint is that the fire rating is 30 minutes instead of the 60 minutes of our previous safe. The price is reasonable.

I 've had a small SentrySafe for many years and had been very satisfied. The time has come to upgrade to a larger safe and after extensive reviews and comments about other company models at this price point, I selected the EF3428E. Very pleased with the construction and dealing with the SentrySafe organization. I saw other reviews that mention the inside lining was little loose. Mine was also, but this helped when I needed to lift it when bolting it down and running LED lighting. I just used a little contact cement when done and sealed it in place. Would buy again.

Overall I like this safe. The shelves are adjustable and removable. Its very sturdy. Looks good. Lots of room. Keep in mind when it says... •ETL verified water resistant in 12" of water for 72 hours. That really means 12 inches of water from the floor not above the top. It could probably survive about 18 inches of water. However the water proof seal does not go across the top of the door; only across the bottom and the sides. So it cannot be submerged totally even for a few minutes. The plus side to that is it doesn't tend to build up moisture inside. Like some other owners. Now I did have problems with the keypad not opening the door. However it turned out to not be the key pad - its the door mechanism. I did not want to lug 163 pounds back to the store so I opened it up with the key and took the back panel off the door to investigate. Turns out there is a pin the must drop down to allow the door lever to operate. You have 4 seconds to do so after entering your code on the keypad.. If the handle is even slightly to the left (It opens left not right) the mechanism presses against the pin and the door cannot open. I have to tug the handle to the right before I enter my code so the pin is free to drop. There is no adjustment inside and I could file off the end of the door mechanism, but the method above works fine for me. It would have been helpful to know which way to move the handle while I was struggling with it, but the instructions just say "enter your code and open the door".

We really like the safe. It is strong, secure and large enough to hold the documents we need to protect. The new/rubber like smell inside is a little too much but I hope that will fade with time. The door is very heavy which makes it harder for me to close. I have to put my whole body into it to close the door and then turn the handle to latch it but although that is a bit hard for me it shows the good strength and security that the safe has.

Excellent build quality and easy to program. The website to register you safe is a hidden gem. You can store your combination, and key id's for safe keeping and cloud access. Additionally, you can order extra/replacement keys. I am very satisfied with my Sentey Safe. Being both fire and water resistant I am very comfortable storing my documents inside.

Actually, I have 2 of this safe. One I bought a few years ago and the other recently. The size and function of the safes fits my needs and space and offers good protection for my environment. FWIW ... I supplement the safe's fire rating with fireproof bags and satchels for the most valuable documents and other small items. My only comment for improvement is to make the instructions for use a bit more clear ... for example the number of pass codes available and the use of codes for other entry.

It's a great safe, but you have to air it out for a week at least. The chemical smell is so strong at first, but it goes away after about a week of airing, I stuffed some car air fresheners to finish the job. It's a little tight to close too. That's why I only give it four stars.
