SFW123FTC Digital Fire/Water Safe

Great safe only concern is that because it is waterproof which is a great bonus, the safe must be opened one a month otherwise documents or jewelry will get damaged. If I went away on a long trip over a month someone else would have to open it for me!!!

Solid safe

The safe is seemingly well built, with exception to the handle to open the safe, which seems to be cheap plastic and feels like it could break off without much difficulty. The keypad is responsive and the added LED light that illuminates the interior upon opening is great little addition. I do wish that the AAA required to operate the safe were included - seems like a bit of an oversight. The manual is also not overly helpful and does not mention where the batteries are to be installed. I spent about 10 minutes trying to figure this out. To save everyone some time, the safe requires 4 AAA batteries, which are installed to the right of the keypad in a hidden compartment with a depression release. Overall, a seemingly well built safe to store valuables and important documents alike. Hope I don’t need to find out how fire proof it is...

Easy Combination to use and set

I love this safe as it allows you to set up to two of your own combinations. You cannot delete the original combination as a safety feature in case you forget the new combination you set. It has a light inside safe, which you can turn off if you wish. Very pleased with purchase and security of safe. It is heavy and not easily moved.

Not bad starter safe

It's a decent starter safe.. anybody with any intelligence knows this is not going to stop a professional thief.. however it is good for keeping young prying hands off of your valuables.. being fire and semi-waterproof makes it a no-brainer.. great quality for the money..

Nice small safe

Very nice small safe. I wish it were about 4” taller, but to get that feature, others were too large overall for my space. On the whole, I am satisfied after a week’s ownership, for what that is worth. I bought two extra shelves to accommodate my needs.

the safe feels very strong and well built

This safe feels solid and gives a good sense of security. The handle to close the door is made of plastic and doesn't feel as tough as the safe, but it is adequate. The dimensions don't allow for legal size documents( 8.5" x 14") to be laid flat; which is the type of documents I will want to store in a safe.

Great Safe!

We bought this to store important documents and other valuables. Seems very well made and sturdy, is very heavy, and the four bolts and fire proof qualities coupled with the super Sam's price made it an easy sale. Only downside, and it's not a huge deal, is you have to open the safe at least monthly and either rejuvenate or replace moisture packs supplied to keep humidity from damaging anything inside. I was unaware safes like this needed any maintenance, but apparently it's due to a gel-like substance in the walls which provide the fire proteection. Other than that it's a great buy.

SFW123FTC Digital Fire/Water Safe

Being a new owner, I do not have a negative thing to say about my new safe. So far, I am satisfied with everything about the Sentry Safe that I have purchased. If I must find something negative to say, it would be, that I should have gotten the larger model. If you are thinking of parching one, please consider the larger model. You wont be sorry!

Perfect size for my pistol and 400 rds of 308

the best part is as you open it, the drawer is so high that if by bad luck someone was close, they would not see there is a drawer at all because it ride so high in the safe when position in top rail and it makes a perfect place for my pistol. Of course because mine sits on the flor in my walk in and not at my eyes height.

You’ve been warned don’t put anything in there

This works when it wants to, I change batteries and ol still locked out of it. Sometimes it takes me 20 to 30 minutes to get in. It’s not like that I’m putting the combination in wrong because it’s a number pad it registers when it wants to or it locks me out for no reason apparently there is a recall on it
