Title: Home Safe
Review: I was thrilled to see my safe delivered in my garage when it arrived. The first thing I noticed was how hard it was going to be to move the safe where I wanted it to be placed; it needed two people and one of those fork lift things that the ups workers use (dont laugh, im not savvy.)After getting it to its destination I opened it up (upside down, but thats my fault) and the vault was already unlocked, but it a closed manner, and had all of the paperwork (lifetime warranty, readme, license, etc) in the box but outside of the safe. The code for the safe comes on a sticker on the back of the readme booklet and it CANNOT BE CHANGED.(The company states that this can be a benefit to the user if you choose to register your safe with the company; they can retrieve your code) It also comes with two keys, the keys do not override the combination lock, only adds another layer of security (which I enjoy).Also, I would like to take some time to explain a CON that most people would complain about that I'd like to bring to justice a little bit.. The hinge for the safe is on the outside of the container as you can see on the picture, however the hinge is very solid and bolted together on both ends, it would take a mass amount of force to break the seal off of the hinges also. But lets say that an intruder DOES break the hinge off; the way the indentions inside of the safe are made, you will not be able to pull the lid off of the same without being able to close the metal bars of the door, which will not happen without the key or code (or both) if it is locked.Safe was also made possible to bolt into the floor and it comes with the bolts and nuts to do it, but I find it unnecessary.. it will be hard enough getting it out the door.. I suggest putting the safe under a desk, shelf, or under some items that can add to the complexion of removing your safe. (Adding 30 pounds of items into your safe will already change the weight to over 120 lbs)PROS: Heavy, very secure, change-able shelf racks, dual security feature, keyring hangers, waterproof, fireproof, worth the price, comes with one absorbent pouch which will last for a while.CONS: Cheap inner shelf (Not for things over 15-20 pounds), password cannot be changed*, may sit unevenly***The company (Sentry Safe) states that the code cannot be changed and it for YOUR security, just in case you lost your password they can send you your code or key again.. if your like me your questioned reasoning and security behind this, but hear me out.. In order for you to get another copy of your code/keys you have to fill out a form that they send you (originally, with the safe) and you have to fill it out entirely, giving your first/last name, address, and all the usual stuff, and also your unique ID number for your safe.. Well that happens to be located inside your safe and on the sticker with your password on it, so if you wish, you could keep it a secret or even destroy the ID number so not even the company who designed the safe will be able to tell what code/key you need. Hope that clarifies questions.**I also believe I have an uneven floor, but I've read another guy's review stating the same thing.. I just slipped the package of screws they gave me under the corner.VERDICT: I love my safe, Im sure they're are better and more secure beasts, but for the money you CANT beat it, it gets the job done.Hope I've helped,Cheers!

Title: very sturdy safe
Review: This is a good safe. Not too big, but heavy enough that nobody is going run off with it. It has good space and I feel that my "stuff" is very safe. I recommend it.

Title: You get what you pay for.
Review: After researching various home safe options, I settled on this 1.23 cubic foot SentrySafe model. Right out of the box, its heft immediately instills confidence - this thing is built like a tank.Installation took some muscle since it weighs 86 lbs, but the included instructions made bolting it down straightforward. Once secured, I felt reassured knowing it meets rigorous fire and waterproof testing standards.Setting up the combination was easy enough. I appreciate having the backup override key too for redundancy. The robust lock mechanism with live-locking bolts seems incredibly pry-resistant.With the safe ready to go, I started transferring important documents, USB backups, passports, and family heirlooms into the roomy interior. The single shelf helps keep things organized nicely.What provides peace of mind is knowing the contents are protected from fire for up to an hour at 1700°F. The waterproof rating up to 8 inches is reassuring too after seeing footage of homes flooded.Overall, this mid-sized safe from SentrySafe seems like it will securely safeguard my most vital possessions for years to come. The quality construction and straightforward security features make it simple to have that protection. Definitely money well spent for preparedness.

Title: Works as described but…
Review: Safe is nice and as described. Arrived on time. Only thing I don’t care for is the lever and combination wheel or whatever feels a little cheap in my opinion.

Title: Just what we needed!!
Review: This safe is just what we needed! It's strong, roomy, easy to operate and we are so glad we went with the manual dial instead of the electronic--we don't have to worry about replacing batteries or the electronics not working since....there aren't any! It's just a basic manual dial safe. It has a very solid feel and locks up tight! When turning the dial, though, you want to remember to just hold the lever up a bit and you will see how easy it turns by doing that. It's a roomy safe and has two inserts-one a tray and the other a bin, to use for keeping items separated. We like that you can easily adjust both the tray and bin to fit your needs. The combination is preset at the factory and is shown on the back cover of the manual. Make sure to make a note of it some place safe where you can easily find it. The manual also shows the serial number for you so that's good to have in case any issues come up. We drilled into, and through, the floor so did not need the concrete bolts. Actually, we used a couple of 7/16" bolts we had and also the matching nuts and cinched them up nice and snug. Make sure when you drill that you drill from the outside of the safe, not inside. The Bosch drill bits went through the metal easily. We then righted the safe and used a brush to clean out the debris. Some of the debris is sharp so watch for it. The door closes nice and snug however the drilling compromises the waterproof feature but it's well off the main floor so that was not an issue but it is something you want to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to anchor the safe.We read the directions before doing anything and they are very clear and easy to follow.All in all, a great safe and we are very happy with it!!A further note: The bottom of the same is very smooth and we were able to slide it along to it's permanent location!! (We are seniors so paid the fee to have it delivered inside our home. It weighs 125 lbs. so it was well worth it to have the delivery men bring it inside)

Review: Es una caja resistente. Al abrirla, tenía una abolladura grande. Pero como no afecta su funcionamiento, decidí quedármela y no hacer el reclamo. Saludos

Review: Delivered but after half a dozen attempts to open it, it would not open reliably and required pushing the handle, which gave a number of unpleasant sound plastic clicking noises and was extremely difficult to lock or unlock - the mechanism itself was partially jammed or wasnt aligned to the right combination.Phoned the manufacturer who instructed me to dissassemble the rear front of the safe (it was clearly a very common problem!) revealing it was indeed entirely a plastic locking assembly..!Utter unreliable piece of junk, on top of which was the apparent moisture problems(I was planning on storing my camera in there, as per their photos!)Trying to return it can be a nightmare also - as you need the original packing material, and I doubt even batman could get this safe out without ripping apart the packaging materials totally!Just Avoid!!!!

Review: Love this safe!My wife and I needed a safe place for important documents and whatnot.This safe is exactly that. Super heavy, can bolt down if you dont need water tightness. Not sure how it would work with fireSurprisingly spacious inside, but wouldnt be useful for anything other than small items like jewelry, documents, cash, etcThe dial works great and so does the key. I like how you need to have both in order to open the safe. Makes it way more secure.Only downside to me is the plastic handle. But besides that everything else works great.Cant speak on the fire rating because we havent needed it just yet. But based on the thickness of the walls, im gonna guess that your stuff would be pretty safe in case of a fire

Review: Arrived as described. The only minor point wild be the rotational lock seems to "stick" or "grind" a bit on occasion, otherwise really happy with the purchase.
