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.

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.

The only issue I have with this item is that the design did not incorporate handles on the sides. This feature would be extremely helpful in moving the safe. It is currently very awkward to move as you have to place your hands under the safe which is sitting on the floor. Not very easy to do especially with the weight.

Thank you SentrySafe for asking me to write a review. I haven’t had a chance to burn anything near this document safe to see if it’s going to work. I’ll be sure to return and update my review should my house burn down around this thing. The lock works, it’s heavy and folders with 8 1/2” x 11” documents fit inside. I can even get a few memory sticks in there.

I love Sentry products. I am not certain this one would protect in a fire (due to excessive lid movement when locked), however I purchased it because of the size for our coin collection. We hopefully never find out if it protects the contents from fire!

After reading so many negative reviews (on seller's website) I had some "buyer's remorse" awaiting delivery of this item. I was pleasantly surprised to find this file box in very good shape with a minimal amount of white residue (what many complained about) on it. I was looking for something to store documents, etc. in and this works for me. Hopefully I never have to find out how fireproof it is.

The Key/Lock quality is not ideal. The key will only unlock the safe after fidgeting with it for some time. Also, I can't remove the key when it's unlocked. (The key can only be removed in the locked position) I do like the size of the safe, plenty of room for documents, external hard drives, photos, etc... There are no handles for moving/carrying the safe like the smaller models have.

This is a strong safe for important documents. I like that it has the edges inset to hold hanging folders. All we need to store for 4 adults fits inside. A suggestion to the company is to make the product more enticing by including a set of hanging folders, tabs, and labels much as Noc-Box does. That would really put this product over the top.

Years past, I need large documents, e.g. trusts, titles, etc.. One handed, I can't handling ~100lbs safe. However, a file box fire proof good solution. Yes, I carry it one handed - but it is cumbersome. I hope no never will started or engulf fire my home, but if .... Maybe little lager, 9"x12" envelopes fit .

I've had one of these for over 20 years now, and it is a great fire safe for your most important documents, such as wills, birth certificates, passports and insurance papers, etc. etc. I just bought another one for my daughter to start filing her own personal papers. Paperwork is unfortunately a fact of life here in America, and keeping those papers safe is vital. Most are lost in fires or floods. This safe is only for fireproofing your documents. Thus, it is not as heavy as the flood proof one. If you live on a hill, this one is all you need. Holds about 20 file folders.
