Fire and Water proof, Hope I never need it....

Hopefully this will protect my documents and video memories, should a disaster happen. Not sure it would stand up to a physical attack but I don't think it's designed as a security safe. The handle feels a little delicate and I'm sure that will be the point of failure over time.

My Review for SFW205EVB Digital Fire/Water Safe

Door seals seem tight to survive water intrusion. The interior walls and shelves appear to be a plastic material so I hope they can resist the extreme exterior heat of 1700deg for one hour. My other safes have bolts on the hinge side of the door and I don't see that here on this safe. Digital Lock works well and has 2 codes that can be programmed. Nice Shelves with optional document organizer available. I believe it would be nice to have recessed Floor Inserts to mount to the floor.

Heavy duty

I like the size, when purchasing the photo showed a locked drawer but only a shelf was included, not a deal breaker. This is my second one and have never had an issue with the first one (much smaller) with the digital key pad. Only thing I would have liked is a secondary key backup. Lots of space, well made.

One heck of a safe

This safe replaces a previous smaller safe I had purchased for the sole purpose of storing my (2) 9mm Glocks and for any ammo or accessories. In time I realized I needed a larger safe to store not only my weapons but my important papers, House deed, insurances for home and life etc. The SFW205EVB Digital Fire/Water Safe did just that and fit perfectly into my closet without taking a lot of space.

Very secure

I love that there is a master code that can not be deleted and that you can add and delete additional codes. My husband said when he bolts the safe to the ground it will void the waterproof warranty. So if there's anything that I'd like to be different would be that it could still be waterproof after bolting it to the ground perhaps there could be some type of rubber cover to put over the bolt?

Strong , Sturdy and Safe

Great Product. I did a lot of research beforehand buying this product. It’s 1 hr reliable fire proof protection is the best among the peers. Also I brought the XX Large and glad it fits all the precious documents , digital media etc.The replacement SAFE post fire is also awesome.

Perfect size

I thought this one might be too big. But it’s the perfect size. I put a verticle file organizer inside and can place all my important papers with 8 1/2 x 11 file folders upright for efficient storage and retrieval. And still have room for the 2 drawers above that for other things like precious metals, jewelry, etc. Registration was easy as well as setting my personal combination. My only complaint is the plastic handle. Feels like it’s bending each time I open the safe door. I feel it’ll break off eventually. I hope not. I wish they sprung for a metal handle.

Big Disappointment

We were very disappointed when we got the safe home and one of the first things we read was, don't store CD/DVD video tapes in this safe and also found if it stayed closed for more than a week or two at a time there is a possibility of moisture developing and paper documents could be damaged.

So far so good

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.

Works ok

So far, so good. But it’s early. I tried - without success, to input a primary and secondary personal combinations per the instructions. Could never get it to take. I plan on giving a family member a shot at it to see if it’s me or the safe. Not too sure what the next step is if it doesn’t work. (The main combo that is assigned by SentrySafe works.). It’s heavy, but can be handled by a single adult. However, I can’t get the personal combos to work returning the safe will be a cumbersome and frustrating task.
