This safe allows me to sleep better at night. I'm renting a room at the moment and I used to take everything I considered valuable with me every time I left the house now I can breathe a little bit because I know my property is secure.

I love this safe from the time I got it. It is simple easy in and out it locks and unlocks very easily. It seems to be unbreakable.

It's a safe in which you cannot store medications, jewelry, firearms, ammo, and paperwork, because the water-gel-based fire retardant will rust and mildew these things. In any case, the interior is just a bit too small for 8 1/2" x 11" pages. You'll have to fold or bend them. Too bad all this wasn't mentioned on the outside of the box, only the inside and on a decal inside the safe.
Combine all that with the loose lid, cheap lock and another instruction that you can't store it on its side, only on its bottom, and it's safe to say this one's a dud.

So the box itself is made superbly…it’s tough and fireproof..however it’s not moisture-proof(so they say to store items in a plastic bag).. and there are minimal things that are actually suggested to store in there surprisingly…but quite a few things they suggest to NOT store …at first glance it looks huge not to mention it is extremely heavy… but upon further inspection it’s big enough to store very little…even if you were just storing paperwork it wouldn’t hold that many papers in fact a normal sheet of paper is too wide to fit so would have to be folded up….one of my keys are hard to get into the hole but the other one works fine so not the biggest issue..there isn’t really any way to fasten it to anything so someone could just grab it and go….probably would have returned it but it was a gift….

Adequate for my needs for document storage. A feature I would like to see is the ability to securely latch the chest and preserve fire resistance without needing to lock it. That way a thief could open the chest, see there was nothing to steal and not take it away to open elsewhere.

The first safe had two rips in the front that I was not sure if would affect the fire protection. Took the first one back. The second is in excellent condition. Sentry Safe needs better quality control. With a bit of maneuvering I was able to place everything I needed to place in safe that I need access easily - backup HD, 14 USB drives, 4 DVDs in jewel cases and some documents. I am happy with the safe because it meets my needs. If I need theft protection for the safe, I will need to hide in another locked area as the safe is easy to pick up and steal, and looks like a safe on the shelf - Sentry safe name on the front and top of safe.

Having read the manual, I don't know anymore if I should use it to store my passport and hard drive. It says there that will be moisture inside that could be damaging. That defeats the purpose. I bought the safe to protect my important items. So yes, it will protect them from fire but ruin them with moisture? So weird. Also, a white chalky substance keeps falling out of the lid. That will ruin my things too. Finally, when it's locked, there's a little give when I pull on the lid. Why??? :(
