Feel Secure

I've been wanting to purchase a safe for the past few years and just hadn't done it. I finally purchased one to give to my husband for Christmas 2021 and we love it so far. I wish it had at least 2 more trays though. It fits neatly where we decided to put it. We liked ours so much that my mom went out and purchased a smaller one for herself.

Best safe ever

This is my first and I believe the best safe I’ll ever need. Following the included instructions everything worked according to the design. The code on the back of the manual is hard coded in the digital lock in case you ever forget the customer entered code. I was very impressed and would recommend this unit. Registration allows you to log the hard code and customer code along with the serial number.

Seems secure but no frills

Safe has multiple versions ... all the same size. The lock mechanisms and interior amenities seem to be the difference. Wish I would have know then... feel like they are all packaged the same and the difference are subtle. Look for secondary key lock, sliding drawers, interior light options, digital or combination locking mechanisms. They are all different prices and never seem to be sold by the same places. Overall, safe seems satisfactory. Just wish I had paid more attention to the other options.

Very easy to set up and operate

The safe is very easy to set up and operate. The instructions are clear, and the videos are super and very helpful. I bought the fire safe for important documents and a few objects, and it has ample room for notebook binders and shelves. I placed my binders upright, so only one shelf above them will be enough, though both will fit.

Nice product but with a small dent and avg communi

Pretty easy, pretty quick delivery, and a nice product. Just two "dings" though. 1) Communication on delivery was very poor, with the delivery showing up differently than two recent communications from the delivery company, and 2) like many other reviewers, the product arrived with a dent, although not big enough to hassle with a return.

Missing parts

The battery holder, that holds the batteries was missing, had to wait from Friday night till Monday morning to call in and try to get one, called in and they said one is being sent to us, we received the battery holder and we can now use the new safe, easy to operate and convenient shelves, key holders and storage in door.

Strong box but flimsy plastic handles

I would give this safe a 5 star but I knocked 1 star for cheap-flimsy feeling plastic handles and plastic inside. And I knocked 1 more star for my biggest disappointment on the digital combination that is not always working. I have to enter the combination two or three times before the it unlocks - because of this I feel less secure about the safe.

PERFECT SIZE AND PRICE SAFE.

I've had no problems with it so far. It has worked every time as described. It seems to be the perfect size and the price was also extremely reasonable. I've noticed that it's higher in other stores. I verified online per the serial# that it would not open using a strong magnetic field. There was no internal light and unfortunately the digits do not illuminate.

Very happy with our SentrySafe decision

This was the exact safe we needed - specifications were spot-on for our home and our needs. Delivery from the factory was on-time. SentrySafe was recommended to us by our locksmith, and he handled the installation professionally. This safe gives us additional peace of mind for our important documents and personal property.

Hoping for a More Secure Safe

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.
