Defective Lock Mechanism
on August 30, 2025

My safe locking mechanism stopped working after about 6 months of ownership. I would not recommend this safe based on my experience. The size was exactly what I needed, however, it does not do me any good because I now leave the door open permanently.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This safe has a good design. The instructions for setup are well done and include bolt products.

Roomy, easy to operate. Heavy enough to be substantial but still easy to move with a small dolly or hand truck.

I purchased the SFW205GRC Sentry Safe to replace a previous Sentry Safe that was pried opened earlier this year during a home burglary. Burglars were able to open my previously owned safe (Sentry Model #A5882, 2 cu ft) that I had for about 6 years. Burglary occurred while I was away on vacation. I was surprised that the thief was able to pry the door open. Since I primarily use the safe to safeguard important documents (e.g. birth, marriage certificates, etc.), I was fortunate to only have suffered a limited financial loss (emergency stash of cash and some silver coins). The safe, itself, was a total loss and had to be discarded.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The safe seems to be working but I don’t know why the second one came again with a dent. The package seems to be in good condition on the outside and inside, but the actual safe has been hit with something causing the dent .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was the exact safe we needed - specifications were spot-on for our home and our needs. Delivery from the factory was on-time. SentrySafe was recommended to us by our locksmith, and he handled the installation professionally. This safe gives us additional peace of mind for our important documents and personal property.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We were very disappointed when we got the safe home and one of the first things we read was, don't store CD/DVD video tapes in this safe and also found if it stayed closed for more than a week or two at a time there is a possibility of moisture developing and paper documents could be damaged.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
