Research! Not a really good burglar safe. Locking Fire box. Shows the pullout drawer & file folder but did not mention whether it came with the unit or not. They are included.

Safe had dents across top back. Called and was told that dents would not effect warranty. I wanted to return it but decided not because it weighed to much to easily handle.

So far I love the safe over all. It's a sound safe with some nice accessories. I didn't care for the shelves and inner design at first but it grew on me. I like the shelves a lot since they are raised on the sides. Perfect for holding documents or weapons with in with out having to worry too much about them falling off. Their is a safe like shelf as well which I like a lot since it prevents guns and contents from falling out and banging about in case the safe falls from a flood or accidental drop. I don't like the handle on it. When pulling it back up to lock the safe it would be great to hear a small click or something. If it's not all the way back up, which is easy, then it won't open when you try to reopen it. Don't care for that but with very little practice you get use to it. Second thing I would like is a vault handle instead of the strait handle. Other than that I highly reccomend this safe.

Like the safe but really wanted the GRC model. When I called I was told you stopped making it. Too bad. Had to pay an additional $60 to get the shelf I wanted to begin with when the GRC had what I wanted. Why did you stop making / producing the GRC?

I Absolutely Love this Safe for Many Reasons. The Obvious Three being the fact that it is Fire, Water & Burglar, Proof. Beside those three, two of the Main Reasons I bought this style Safe is that it has a file drawer, like in a file cabinet, so I can keep my files Safe (in case of a fire) and Orderly at the same time, and a shelf to lay important papers on. The last two reasons is because it has a Digital and Key Lock which makes it easier to remember the combination and it has a light on the inside of the door.

The fire and water ratings for this safe are outstanding, and the lock mechanism appears solid. It has a backup key in case the primary ( electronic digital) lock fails. The Sentry website is also very helpful. This safe houns a 20-year-old sentry fire/ water safe with a manual lock and dial. That one is still going strong after 14 moves during our service in the Air Force. Sentry safes appear to be very good indeed.

Decided on the 205 series because of its size and fire rating. The Sentry water proof feature is not applicable if you need to anchor the safe to the floor. The minute you drill the holes for the anchor bolts it is no longer water tight. Definitely a no brainer, but this fact is not clear until the buyer actually reads the manual and instructions for anchoring.

Good all-around features, size, and fire rating for the price (at Costco). When shopping for a safe, you need to determine your objective(s) - security, multi-access, fire protection, flooding, capacity, etc. Where it is placed will dictate ratings needed (near ceiling or near floor, 2nd floor wooden structure, sprinkled location, potential for flooding, etc.) . Not impressed with online information - dumbed-down site (but quality videos) - would have like to seen more information on statistics on what damage happens to most safe content under varied conditions, how hot a fire gets at various places in the home, etc. Also - manual instructions for setting options (light on duration, keypad beeps) doesn't specify that you need to enter your code immediately before making option changes (which makes sense). Would also like to see information on what to not use inside your safe - like a plastic sheet protector will melt / shrink around your document (inside can get up to 350 deg.)

Hopefully I will never have to test the features or quality of this safe as I assume it will perform as promised. As for set up and ease of use it was way easier than other products I have used. Specially, the video tutorial was particularly helpful. As an added bonus I was happy to know the company retains records of combinations and key codes if for some reason I lost mine.

According to the manual, the 5-number factory unlock code will always unlock the safe, even if user codes are entered to supplement it. Therefore, if the factory unlock code is compromised in any way (like with loss or photocopy of the user manual), then security of the safe becomes entirely dependent on access to the physical unlock keys. Better that the user should have the option to retain or replace the factory unlock key when creating a user-defined key.
