We'd been looking for a good quality safe. Big enough for important papers, some jewelry and a few other things. This was better than expected, it has an LED light on the inside, a drawer and plastic file that both are adjustable, we did NOT expect that! Very easy to set up with our code to get in and the price was better than much smaller ones we were looking at. Oh and if your safe is in a fire, with proper registration they will replace it for free. We could not be happier. MT and BF Memphis, TN

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.

The size of this safe along with the water and fire resistant features make this the perfect safe for our home. For years we have paid high annual rental fees for a safety deposit box at our bank that only has 1/3 of the space available in this safe. This safe will pay for itself in less than 5 years after canceling our safe deposit box. Its strong and sturdy appearance along with a digital combination that allows us to set our own entry code makes this right choice for our family.

A nice, roomy safe for home/office. It’s solid and works well. The raised push buttons are so much better than SentrySafe’s prior version with smooth touch pad which was pretty, but problematic. Only issue we had was the first one received was damaged on top front. Sam’s club was great at getting a new one sent and the damaged one picked up. Sam’s was accomodating. The second one also has a small dent but on back corner, so we kept it, thus the 4 stars.

This safe seems to be ok, but I was really disappointed that the handle, the combination mechanism, and the battery compartment, are all cheap plastic. In case of a mild fire, the handle and everything associated with it will be the first one to melt! WHY would Sentry make a fire safety safe with plastic hardware?? I will not recommend this safe for the price i paid for it.

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?

Nice, heavy unit with great finish. The directions were easy to follow, with the on-line video or the instruction manual - so initial setup was fast. I like that there is a factory default code, and keyboard lockout keys, plus when you register the safe, all your information is backed up. Just in case you forget your combination. It includes bolt down hardware, although I can't imagine anyone getting this thing out of the house very easily. Well over 100 slippery pounds.The interior is all available for storage. There is a shelf and a file drawer, both of which can be configured at many different levels. The inside of the door offers some nice storage compartments, and the timed interior LED lighting is a great touch. I like the water and fire ratings, which is the main reason I bought it. Like I mentioned in the first sentence, this is a very nicely finished safe - inside and out. Unpacking to done in less than a half hour.

Safe is the perfect size however if you read the instructions the waterproof and fireproof ratings are void if you secure it to a wall or the floor. Light enough two people could easily pack it so guess I will play hide and seek with it and hope to never have thieves in my home.

This safe seems solid and is a great size for me. I am hopeful that the digital keypad lock and plastic parts are sturdy enough and will provide long use. A 1 year warranty on something this important is worrisome, but I am hoping it will do the job.

I like the light that is in it. I also like the fact that the factory code cannot be changed, but you can add 2 additional user codes. It is a nice feature that it is rubber sealed to keep water out, but could be an annoyance to have to open it every month to allow air in and every 6 months to replace or reactivate moisture removal packets.
