Great Starter Safe

We bought this for our Grandson when he thought he needed to protect his treasures at the age of 12. He is a very mature & sensible preteen. This safe is portable so you don't want to leave it out in the open where it would be the first thing someone would see & pick it up & walk off with it but it's a fantastic deturrant for some. Just the right size for those smaller items and important papers. Securred both by combination & key as a back up in case the battery dies. We would recommend & probably would purchase as gifts again.

This is the safe to get! Keep your stuff safe.

I bought this safe in order to keep my pistols and important documents safe. I have been really impressed by its quality and the keypad feels well built. The two thick, steel bars that lock the safe when closed and latched give me a great feeling of security. I would recommend this safe to anyone looking to keep important documents, it has a shelf as well so you can separate the things you are locking up. It also comes with the necessary components to secure the safe to your floor. Just for reference, I’m able to comfortably fit two mid sized 9mm pistols, six magazines, all of my important documents, pistol/rifle cleaning kit and accessories, and that’s just on the bottom level. With the shelf installed I’m able to fit several other items. To sum up, this safe is definitely worth the price.

Safe Mounting, Size, Assembly

This Sentry Safe X125 is the perfect size. I was able to secure the back of the safe with wood screws to the studs in the wall along with the bottom of the safe with wood screws to the shelve it sits on. It was easy to assemble and program. If you have questions about this safe, there are plenty of reviews online on "You Tube".

Perfect and secure

We had a large sentry safe in our house for 24 years with great service. We’ve given it to our daughter for I’m sure many more years of service. We bought this smaller safe because we moved into a condo and didn’t need such a large safe. This safe is the perfect size for our needs. Very easy to set up and bolt down. Excellent!!!

Perfect safe for our RV

We were looking for a security safe for our RV. This one fits the bill perfectly. Large enough for our important documents but not overweight and cumbersome to handle. The pre drilled mounting holes are perfect for securing to a closet floor so it doesn't just walk off. Very easy to set up, secure and use.

Satisfies the need

Another reviewer described this as keeping honest people honest. That's the correct assessment. Wall thickness is around 1/16". A good grinder would have this safe opened in a minute or two. That problem aside, this will do the job for which I intended it. My small business uses a set of Network Attached Storage (NAS) drives for frequent data backup. They fit nicely in the safe and the rear access holes allow power and Ethernet connections to pass into the safe. That makes this solution functionally similar to using equipment lock-down cables, but is substantially better in delivering physical security for the assets. The internal shelf is removable, but it's height within the safe is not adjustable. However, the mounting brackets for the shelf provide a substantial enough platform to kludge-in a height adjustment solution of your own. I did have a small problem with the size of the rear holes. They are not of a large enough diameter to allow a full size 3 prong power plug to pass. (As a design enhancement to Sentry, I'd say keep one of the holes circular and make the other one square.) I could have chosen to not use a grounded power option for the equipment I was protecting, or I could have razor-bladed off plastic from the power plug I was using. I chose instead to make one of the pass-through holes a little larger. I'll warn that if this is a choice for you, be prepared with a substantial diameter drill bit. The bolt-down hardware that is supplied with the safe is pretty unsubstantial, and, with the thickness of the wall, the bolt heads could easily be persuaded out the bottom of the safe. I bought and installed far larger lag bolts and concrete anchors and bulked-up the internal bottom of the safe with some extra steel plating. Here again, I'd say there are some simple design features that Sentry could add with very low cost. Before making this purchase, I did consider a number of other alternatives. From a price/performance perspective this one is really hard to beat. Sentry does make a safe that passes a USB connection into its interior. If that model were available with power and Ethernet, I'd have gone in that direction instead of this one. NAS seems to me to be the future direction for SOHO users. I suspect Sentry will catch on to that at some point. I don't think I'd keep anything with great market value in this safe. However, my business data has extremely high value to my business, so this fits the need well. Nobody in their right mind should go to the trouble of trying to get at a couple hundred dollars worth of hard drives with this thing in their way. This solution could also find a use in a home. If you have service people who are allowed entrance while you're away, this would provide the right level of security and deterrence -- again keeping honest people honest. Also, if you've invested hours (days? weeks?) of your time ripping your CD and/or DVD collections you'll find yourself in exactly my position: you really don't want to loose your drives, but you also want them on and accessible.

Nice MInimal Protection

Good safe for keeping honest folks honest - Probably wouldn't withstand crowbars and heavy tools. but it's not $5000 either. Nice capacity -holds large items easily,

Great for entry level home safe

This was a great purchase for me. Not fireproof so I bought some fireproof folders for important things. It’s large but lightweight. It won’t stand up to a thief with tools and time but it appears pretty sturdy as a deterrent and I don’t have to hide the Rolex in my sock drawer. Good touchpad code entry with key backup.

Sentry Safe 1.2 CFT

This is a functional safe...nothing spectacular. It is light weight, can be installed easily. The installation bolts/screws are not particularly good. I used better ones from Home Depot. The holes in the rear are too small for most laptop/iPad cables. The lock is functional, but lacks in strength.

Poor construction for a safe.

Safe came damaged and was completely unusable. There was minimal damage on the box, so it appears it was shipped this way. The door was jammed closed and was off about a quarter inch.
