This safe looks good it is an ideal size for the house. Fire and water protection is a big plus however, what is disappointing is the breaking into it by a burglar! There are so many people with youtube reviews showing how easy it is to break into. One recently was ridiculously easy a teenager could do this, I will not go into this in detail. Otherwise I do like it overall.

Safe was delivered with no damage. It was a Christmas present for my son who is required to carry a gun for his job. Plenty of room for his pistol, magazines, and holster, with a lot of room left over for other items you want to protect. Opens easily and quickly with push-button lock (after you install batteries) and even has a light inside to see your items in low light conditions. I feel much better that his gun is locked up whenever he is home and inaccessible to my granddaughter. Too heavy for anyone to grab it and run away easily. Also has hardware to attach to floor for even more safety. No good way to test for fire and water protection, but items inside seem to be very well protected and insulated.

This safe is ideal for our use but the one concern I have is the bulbous, overly flexible handle. It was also annoying to only receive one cheap plastic shelf insert with the purchase... A couple of hangars or second shelf would have been nice for the price.

This was a Christmas gift from our parents and is our first safe. The safe itself is well built and very easy to use. Our only gripe is it was delivered damaged from the seller, which is not the fault of SentrySafe or even the Seller. The shipper somehow tossed the box around like airlines do to luggage. Luckily the dents / damage appear to only be cosmetic and does not affect the functions.

I bought one for each of my 4 grown kids w/family these will be perfect for all grandkids birth certificates, car papers, passports and special photos so they can get to quickly in case of an emergency they know right where to go.. Great family gift!

Had trouble opening up the safe for the 1st time despite following the exact steps per the manual. Called customer care (both Canada and US), it was ringing forever with no one to answer. The sticker on top says to try opening/closing the safe before placing the valuables which is 100% right, cos' it is not consistently opening the 1st time, may have to try entering the code twice or thrice at times. Will be returning it now.

Well, I've only been using it for a few days. So far so good. It opens and closes fine. I would be more excited about it if I knew that the contents would survive a fire - That's my main concern. The other concern I have is that I have to keep replacing the desiccant, because it appears (according to the manual) that moisture will build up inside the safe - and the provided desiccant won't last.

I found this safe perfectly meets our needs such as manageable size, fire-proof and water-proof abilities (although I didn't test those criteria being claimed). The only negative but important issue is its lock system. First of all, the plastic handle is a bit fragile. The number system is pretty easy to resolved if someone continues to try all combinations once entering the house. I hope there is a limited number of trials then the door will be locked for say 60 minutes before the second trial.

I think the safe is good, it is a lot heavy than i thought it would be so I will need to set something up for final placement. One concern I do have is what is something goes wrong with the electronic opening handle? I was just thinking down the road and its a day before i fly somewhere and i go to open it up and it has malfunctioned? how would I ever get into it??

I had a little difficulty opening the safe but eventually was able to open it. The booklet is not very clear and does not really tell you what the C and P stand for in the booklet. Other than I was able to enter the permanent code and my personal code.
