Easier to use than I could have imagined!

I expected to have problems initially opening and programming this safe, but it went without a hitch. It opened first try with the factory code and it was easy to program a personal passcode as well. The easily accessible battery compartment means I never have to worry about the batteries dying and not being able to open the safe. There is ample room for our important documents and valuables and the construction of the safe is such that I am sure these items are well protected from fire, water, and theft. I totally recommend this safe to anyone.

Good security, easy to install, but hard to hide

This is a good product that seems to be very secure (of course, you can't rate the security until it's needed - like when there's a fire or an attempt to break in). The only issue I see is it has a large plastic "SentrySafe" logo glued to the door of the safe, so it's hard to hide - you have to cover it, or place items in front of it. Hard to imagine why you would need the logo there during use - are you advertising to thieves?

Well built and easy to use

I must confess that I ordered the wrong model, this one does not have a key but relies solely on the electronic key pad. Returning it is too much of a hassle as I had to cut the box to get it out. It is my mistake. Nevertheless this is my third Sentry safe bought over the years, they are all excellent and well made. Sentry will always be my first choice.

Easy to use and set up

This safe is really good size adn easy to use and set up. I had an earlier version of this one that only lasted about 10 years before the safe became difficult to open and the handle broke. This version seems to be made better, more secure and easier to open and close plus it has the LED lights which are a nice bonus.

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.

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

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!!!

looks good

So far I like the safe but I just got it. This is the first safe I have had with a electronic lock, I hope I did not make a mistake. The safe had a small dent in the side but that is ok, Its not a show piece. The safe seems well made, I wish it had a medal handle but I think it will be fine. Time will tell

Love this safe

I love the easy set up and that I can open it easily every time. I like that this safe is not too heavy and I can move it slightly if I need to clean around it but still heavy enough that someone is not going to easily walk off with it. It is a good size for my valuables.
