The safe had handles but it was very heavy to carry. The latch doesn't latch very well and takes multiple attempts to lock in place before securely locking. The handle appears weak and of poor quality and could be much better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The safe is very nicely built. I do have a slight problem though. The lid seal was not installed properly and is mashed and mangled when it was shut in the lid at the factory.
There is phone number to call on a sticker inside the lid but that number is invalid. I found another number in an owners manual and that number is also invalid.
Finally got on the website and found a valid number but the offices were closed when I called. I used their online "contact us" for reporting issues but the email was returned to me as being an invalid address.
Sentry Safe has been around many years and I cannot believe they put invalid numbers inside the products they sell, in the owners manuals, and their email address on their website is invalid.
Get it together Sentry Safe. I would give 5 stars but with all the misinformation inside my safe, in the booklet and on your website, it doesn't warrant 5 stars.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is a substantial safe place to store your official documents. With the pandemic the availability of safety deposit boxes at local banks proved to be unavailable. Now my executors have access without inconvenience. My only negative remark is it's weight. For the elderly that drawback is outweighed by the positive.

Could be larger inside? Replacing a safe with same size, but was larger inside.
