What Customers Are Saying
The safe is generally well-constructed, with a sturdy and fire/water-resistant design. Many users found it to be the right size and portable. However, some reported issues with the quality of the plastic components like the latch and handle, which were described as "cheap" and "flimsy". A few customers also had problems with the key jamming or the handle breaking. While the majority of users were satisfied with the security features and durability, the feedback suggests the plastic parts could be improved for better reliability.

Sadly, I can say that this fire/water chest really works. Our home burned down on June 27th, 2025 and we lost EVERYTHING except the documents in this Sentry Safe. When we found it amount the ashes, it did have one corner cracked open - but our important documents, although wet and slightly singed, were saved! (See images). We were so impressed that I immediately ordered another one to keep them safe should this happen to us again.

Would RecommendExcellent quality, best price ever. Very heavy, looks the part. Hope I don’t need to test it but I feel confident storing my valuable documents in it.

Cheap design of keys
Would Not RecommendHad this for less than six months and the lock already broke on it the "new style" keys are quite cheaply made and I thought it would make the safe safer having a different style of key but all that it is is a metal tube with a magnet in the middle as soon as the magnet stops working so does your safe and to be completely honest it was easier to break into than any safe I've seen I literally broke into it with my bare hands

Very Heavy & Key is impossible sometimes to get in
Would Not RecommendThe Key is difficult to use, its heavy and the handle is very loose and awkward location and on the way of trying to put the key in. Could have been better engineered . Also any little thing gets in the way around the seal (like paperwork ) it will not shut .

We are sorry for the experience with your safe. The model is designed to keep documents safe from water/fire and not promoted as "high security". Plea...
