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.

This is the second sentry safe of this type I’ve purchased. I love the simplicity and durability, and has a pretty good fire rating. The only thing(s) I don’t like, is there’s no secondary option to open the safe, so if the key pad goes out there’s no other options to open the safe. Most other safes I own have the secondary key option. The other issue is the lack of shelving. Other than that I’m pretty happy with the safe

We got the safe to store original trust documents, at the suggestion of our advisor. It is very sturdy, very heavy. The set up and registration instructions are clear. The Sentry folks' follow-up on line has been quick and helpful. Should we have a fire or flood, I'll repost to let you know what survived.

I like the safe and it was delivered quickly. Unfortunately, the bottom left front corner is dented in, it seems due to inferior packaging for such a heavy safe. The box seemed in good shape and there was a lot of Styrofoam, but it was broken up once I received it. Even with the Styrofoam, the heavy safe corner was dented during shipping. It is completely functional and did not seem to bent the door sealing, but it sad to receive a new safe that is dented.

Easy to open and lock. More than enough room for valuables and documents. Unfortunately, there are 3 dents in the safe from shipping. I called sentrysafe customer service. They did not seem to be worried by this and assured me the was no compromise to the Integrety of the 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.

This is a replacement for the same model we purchased in 2014 that is rusting from the inside out. The rust was getting on clothing stored near the safe. We liked it enough to purchase again. Our new safe arrived with a dent on the back corner, customer service offered to replace it but, since the dent appeared to be cosmetic we were offered an additional disount to keep it. I was very pleased with the customer service representitave.

The safe is the perfect size and bolting it down went well. Adding the additional combination was straight forward. However, opening it is a challenge. Sometimes it opens first try, sometimes it takes three or for attempts and sometimes I have to use factory set combination. I worry that the day will come when I can’t get it to respond to either combination. I don’t know what I’ll do then

I purchased the SFW205GRC Sentry Safe to replace a previous Sentry Safe that was pried opened earlier this year during a home burglary. Burglars were able to open my previously owned safe (Sentry Model #A5882, 2 cu ft) that I had for about 6 years. Burglary occurred while I was away on vacation. I was surprised that the thief was able to pry the door open. Since I primarily use the safe to safeguard important documents (e.g. birth, marriage certificates, etc.), I was fortunate to only have suffered a limited financial loss (emergency stash of cash and some silver coins). The safe, itself, was a total loss and had to be discarded.

I read a lot of reviews on this safe. So far, it works as advertised. The safe came by Fedex. No dents or problems with the packaging. Easy to set up. One reason I chose this model is the batteries are replaceable from the outside, not inside like some models. Some reviews were concerned with the handle. So far, no problems.
