SentrySafe SFW205CWB Fireproof Waterproof Safe with Dial Combination, 2.05 Cubic Feet, Black

Love this safe, easy to use, ideal capacity. The Handle appears potentially vulnerable to easy damage.

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)

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!!!!

It's more expensive than the average ones but you get the build quality and design. Yes the lever is plastic but it's the point, you want it to break if forced so no one can get into the safe. The entire box is super heavy for the same reason: protection. It also has a hinge that appears to be very easy to defeat but if you look inside you will find the door is completely wedged into the frame when closed. Taking out the hinge will not result in defeating the lock, the door shall remained locked. I do not regret paying for it. Excellent design & quality and it shows.

Very solid construction, fairly heavy (which is good) and easy to use. I found the trays quite handy for organizing aswell. Happy with this purchase.
