Dent at front left bottom corner

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.

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!

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.

Not happy

I have not been able to get the safe open. I put in brand new batteries. I called support and they told me use a rubber mallet and lightly tap. That did not work. They suggested putting it on its back, adding some weight and waiting several hours. That did not work either. Right now I have a brand new, locked safe.

Expected More, Slightly Disappointed.

The safe gets stuck in the locked position. I’ve learned to lay it on its side (hinge side down) on the carpeted floor, type the code and while turning the handle counterclockwise, bang on the latch side. Also the handle is plastic and feels like it’s going to break or come off when unlocking the safe. I would have expected a sturdier handle.

Great safe, trouble opening

I love the safe, size, the compartments, secure but I have reprogrammed it a few times because it keeps malfunctioning when I try to open. At times it won’t even open with the manufacturers code. A little frustrating

SFW205EVB review

Spacious. Negative says not water proof once you bolt dow, You have to drill through safe bottom into sage to get holes. Also description where I purchased said it had a light. This model does not have a light. Just use a stick on LED light.

Strong and secure safe.

I love my safe. My only complaint is that it indicates it should have internal lights but it does not. Can that still be corrected? I would be very thrilled if the company can take of this. Thanks!

Secure Safe

This was a good purchase. The safe is well constructed and durable. I have some trust issues with the handle, It feels as though I could break with to much pressure.
