I have had the same model and size safe for over 17 years . I wanted an additional one and love that this one is different color than my other grey one . Makes it easy to know what items are in which since new one is black. I got ready of a first alert due to always had mildew smell when opened up . My other sentry safe that I still have never did no matter how long it had been closed. I love this company.

I like the size and weight. The it's challenging to get the key to fit in the lock. It takes a lot of wiggling around before it'll insert fully. This makes me a little nervous about it's build quality or longevity. I assume that it can be bolted to the floor, but the instructions don't address this in any way. I'm nervous about cutting in to the bottom, as it could void the warranty or enable me to return the safe. But securing it seems essential to its function.

The metal part of the latch that locks the box gets bent easily preventing the lid from shutting until it’s bent back straight. Anyone can easily open this safe with a flathead screwdriver or even a butter knife. My safe didn’t come with keys, so I open it with a knife when needed.

It is bigger than you expect and it is fairly heavy. However, I think these are good things when it come to a fireproof safe for my important paperwork. Difficult to pick up and run with for potential thieves and sturdy enough to withstand most house fires.

The safe is too heavy and lacks the space needed to serve its intended purpose; the original description was inaccurate.” Don’t waste your time or money unless you want an upper body work out trying to return this beast! It received a one rating because zero wasn’t an option.

For the price, it was just what I was looking for. I have a smaller one with a handle that I have had for years and it works but I needed something bigger. I'm actually glad it doesn't have handles because it makes it harder for someone to take it. My only complaint is the lock mechanism. Regardless of which key I use, I have to wiggle and jiggle the key to get it into the lock. Once the key is inserted the lock mechanism is kind of loose.

Very study, VERY heavy. Holds standard (letter size) file folders quite well. Would give it the fifth star if it had a handle or other place to hook the keys to... my need for this item is not about locking it up, rather it's about a bit of protection for special documents in case of fire... it would be much easier if there was a place to attach the keys that didn't have them standing out of the lock. A handle would also make it much easier to move the thing, as it's quite heavy to pick up with absolutely no handles or hand-holds.

I bought this file safe for a housewarming gift for my daughter's new house. It is large enough to keep her mortgage and other important papers safe. It could be improved by adding a sturdy handle as it is rather heavy and clumsy to handle. Other than that I am very satisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is lots of room inside the safe and it even has built in rails for 8.5 x 11 size hanging file folders. It on the heavy side but not such that it can't be lifted up and carried. I highly recommend this product.

The quality of this one is not as good as the older ones by comparison. This is my second safe of same brand just smaller, that's why I had to get a new bigger one! The keys is so flimsy and inadequate for the item that was supposed to be strong and durable.
