Great product!

We're very happy so far with our XXL Sentry Safe! Our old Sentry Safe is 14 years old and still works great! Only suggestion I have is they need to work with their shipper, UPS, to stop damaging the safes while they're in transit. 1st one was damaged severely and had to be replaced. The replacement was also damaged but not as severely.

Roomy, easy to operate

Roomy, easy to operate. Heavy enough to be substantial but still easy to move with a small dolly or hand truck.

This safe has a good design. The instructions for setup are well done and include bolt products.

Very good quality safe

Happy with this safe. While I read some negative reviews prior to purchase, my experience was very positive. Liked the safe's size, ease of setup, and features. Very pleased with the unit so far. Price was a bit higher than some others but went with the brand name I recognized.

Sentry Safe

I bought this safe with storing important paperwork in mind. I thought that I could use hanging file folders but can not find any containers that will fit in the safe. I should have measured more closely. Unfortunately, hanging file folders do not. But I an making due with the safe I have and it does store most things conveniently and securely. The safe is easy to open and fits in my closet well.

Strong and roomy

Fire proof and water proof were a requirement as I keep titles, jewelry, passports, etc in it. It meets all the requirements for protecting these valuable. It is heavy enough that no one is going to tuck it under their arm and go out the door with it. It ios small enough to be able to put it in an out of the way place, too.

Well Built and Great Value for the Money

I needed a secure, fireproof safe to store valuables ranging in different dimensions from jewelry-size to half a foot or more on a side. The interior dimensions of this safe combined with its convenient adjustable shelving fitted my needs to a "T" We had researched other fireproof safe options, and were disappointed at the 30-minute rating and smaller capacities in this safe's price range. My only question is why I didn't purchase this safe before!

Fits The Bill

I was looking for something that would fit in a closet space that was not overwhelming in size yet large enough to store important documents and valuables. This just fit the bill. It was easy to set our own combination and looks and feels solid. The slide out trays are a nice touch as well as the hooks and pocket on the inside of the door. I liked the fire and waterproof rating as well.

Good for the money

It’s a good safe for the money, other safes of the same size cost considerably more, weighed more and appeared to more secure. Fire rating were about the same. I needed an affordable safe that I could easily move around if needed. Others were just to heavy. I don’t like the fact that you cannot delete factory combination, but you can add 2 additional combinations of your own. I didn’t like that it only came with 2 mounting bolts/screws. I think it would more secure if 4 bolts/screws were used to secure to the floor. When drilling the holes on the bottom for mounting the bolts/screws, I was surprised how easy it was. Made me question the integrity of the safe. Also while drilling the hole for the front mounting bolt/screw, there is a factory indention to mark where to drill. It was way off center of the raised footing, (the rear one was dead center) I thought someone missed the center, but in fact I believe it was meant to be off center as when drilled in the middle I partially drilled through the inner part of the door. My mistake but no integrity issue with the door. The interior is just plastic with 2 adjustable shelves, but ok for my purpose Adding 2 additional combinations was relatively easy, just follow the direction closely.

Decent Safe

Size is great. Easy to add user codes. There is one issue to be aware of: you have to gently hold the handle UP while entering the access code to activate the lock. This is an issue for users who are not aware. Finally, the handle is plastic and I don't know how it will survive a fire.
