SentrySafe Black Home Safe with Shelf and Digital Keypad, Large Safe for Laptop, Documents, Money, Exterior: 10.6 x 16.9 x 14.6 Inches, X125

I purchased this safe in spite of many bad review about the lack of security this provides. I've read that it's too light and that a thief can easily carry it off. I've also seen video and heard complaints that the lock can easily be picked with a set of jiggler keys. First off.... I did not purchase this as an alternative to renting a safe deposit box at my bank. I do not intend to store a Rolex, my wife's engagement ring or any thing of any value that I need to protect from thieves or a house fire. I purchased this to keep my firearms safely away from my 3 year old and still keep it at an accessible location that in the event of an emergency, I can easily access it. Fact is... it is very lightweight and it does not have insulation to protect the contents from fire. If your intention is to store away a $10K Rolex and your wife's $30K diamond ring, I would suggest that you purchase a more heavy duty safe for $700 or more. Those things weight a ton and if you bolt them to the floor, no one is carrying off with it. This item is $60 for God sakes!! I considered another popular brand called Stack-on. Then I saw videos of a three year old bumping it or lifting one side and dropping it and the lock would come loose and the door would open. That is something I cannot have around so I went with this Sentrysafe. As for the video with the guy opening this with jiggler keys.... I think it will at least 15 years until my 3 yr old is old enough to somehow get his hands on one and successfully open this with one. This item is $60 for God sakes!! For what I intend to do with this safe, I think this was a great value and the locking mechanism is very easy to program and use. I am very happy with this and it is roomy enough to store 2 pistols and several cases of ammo, but small enough to hide in the corner of my closet. I am very happy with this purchase.

This is my second Sentry safe, and like the first I'm extremely pleased with it. I wanted an affordable security safe that would comfortably fit two laptops (a 14" and 15") and other assorted valuables and this one fits the bill. It's well designed, extremely sturdy and has an easy-to-operate electronic keypad (uses 4 AA batteries) that opens with your chosen security code. The electronic keypad can be overridden by included keys in case you forget the code or the batteries die. (I've had this safe for over 8 months and the batteries are still going strong) There's a metal shelf inside that can be removed to store bulkier items. The floor of the safe has a gray carpet-like liner. One of the things that sold me on this safe that it can easily store two average size laptops and still have room for other things. Many of the other safes in this price range couldn't even fit one 15" laptop. The safe can either be bolted to the floor or wall (with included hardware) or secured to another object with the included metal cord. Since this is a "security" safe, that means it isn't fireproof. While it's sturdy and well-built, professionals would probably find their way in. However, for the purposes of safeguarding your valuables from casual theft in the home, office, schools, college dorms, etc., this is an excellent safe that is durable and does the job well.

This is not a heavy duty fire safe, nor is it designed to be. It is a nice sized security box for a small office or dorm room. I bought this for my daughter's dorm room. The construction quality is quite good. And the 1.0 Cubic foot size allows her to put her 13" Mac Book in with no problems. It comes with an upper shelf which is good for cell phones, iPods, prescriptions, keys, etc. Plus, even with her laptop in the bottom, there is still plenty of extra room for other things. Two additional features make it ideal for my daughter's dorm room: First, is the backup key lock. Once you set your electronic combination, there should be no problems, but if there is, you can override the keypad with a key. The safe comes with 2 keys, so I gave one to my daughter as a backup, and keep one in my safe (a real fire safe) at home, in case I ever have to overnight it up to her. Second (and this is very important for a dorm room, or a room where you can not anchor the safe into wall studs), is the cable system, which is included. It allows you to loop the supplied cable around a cross member under a bed, or desk, and attach it, through the back, to a spring clamp bolted inside the safe. Now this isn't "theft proof" by any means, but removing the safe would require carrying her dorm bed down the hall with it, taking an axe to break up the bed frame, or having a nice pair of bolt cutters to cut the anchor cable. Anyway, one would hope that it's enough to make it "too hard a target" for the casual opportunist to bother with. Amazon's combination of price and free shipping was the best I found on this safe. So, if you need a decent, locking, security box, capable of being cable anchored to furniture or fixtures, and large enough to fit a laptop and a bunch of accessories, I would really recommend this.

Pretty decent sized safe for the price. Very light weight. Touted as fireproof and waterproof but there’s two holes in the back panel of the safe. Kinda defeats the purpose of fireproof and waterproof with a couple holes. Four AA batteries and you can set your own combination or you can use the two included keys to open the door. Door is somewhat difficult to open because you have to use the lock mechanism on the front. Maybe a small door handle would help instead? Otherwise plenty of room inside for us to secure important things. I’d recommend this safe but know before you order what you’re getting.

This product arrived so fast! Very unusual for Hawaii so I was very pleased cause I needed it badly and quickly. It works beautifully. I was hoping to use it like a hotel safe where you could put in your own code, but it seemed a little difficult to keep changing it so I’m just sticking with one code. Super super simple installation with all the proper materials. Excellent job highly recommend.

I bought smaller SentrySafe at Wal-mart for $96.94, brought it home and discovered there is no shelf in it. Looked on Amazon and found this larger one with the shelf and it cost me only $.96 more. Used the Amazon Prime free trial and got the 2 day free shipping. Ordered on Tuesday, was at my door Thursday afternoon, just in time to move it to dorm room for daughter on Friday. Bolted to closet floor nice and easy with the provided bolts. Had her program her own code in which was really simple to do after installing the 4 AA batteries which are not included. Glad they don't include the batteries because things that come with batteries usually have cheap batteries and no telling how long they will last. Large enough to put her MacBook on the pre-carpeted floor and her other items on the included shelf. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a safe just for extra security. Won't keep anyone out with the proper tools are safeguard important documents or photos in case of a fire but if that's what you are looking for then buy a better safe. This is perfect for that dorm room.

After reading some of the complaints and using the safe for several months I had to leave a review. For its intended purpose it is a good safe. It is not intended to provide substantial security from burglars, fires, or miscreant children. It can be easily walked off with or broken open given enough time. Any consumer safe can be broken into, the question is how long and what tools and methods are needed. I broke into another brand's equivalent safe in a couple minutes with a hammer and screwdriver when it stopped functioning. I've seen Youtube videos about bumping the safe a certain way to unlock the magnetic mechanism. If you need increased security, spend more than a modest amount on a safe that is intended to provide security and fire protection. This safe works well for easy, quick access that still provides a level of protection from access by children. I think it is satisfactory for daily carry firearms or modest amounts of cash or valuables. I bolted mine to a shelf with self-locking nuts and large washers. That should provide a couple more minutes of time, which may prevent a smash and grab. But if you have high-dollar jewelry, cash, firearms, valuables or important documents, I would acquire a better safe. The battery compartment works fine for me, as does the locking mechanism, door and keypad. It would be nice if the second shelf were adjustable and deeper, but it is fine.

Junk. I bought this Sentry Safe expecting it to provide basic secure storage, but after only about two months of normal use, the plastic dial/keyway broke off internally. The safe is now impossible to operate because the lock mechanism failed. This was not from abuse or heavy use. It appears to be a weak plastic component inside the dial/keyway assembly. For a safe, the lock should be the most reliable part, and this failure happened far too soon. I’m very disappointed in the build quality. A safe that fails internally after two months does not inspire confidence, especially when your valuables or important documents are inside. I would not buy this model again.

me parece una excelente compra, los materiales son de calidad y la cerradura funciona correctamente, en este modelo cabe una laptop y tiene recubrimiento en el piso de la caja para que los artículos no se dañen.

This is a quality safe for the price

The safe is excellent and arrived when expected. It's not going to stop a determined thief - not a lot of those where I live anyway, but certainly makes it hard unless the person is determined. I also ordered the installation - which was seamless. They contacted me a couple of times to make sure the safe had arrived and to confirm the time. They were in and out in 15 minutes. They can also help with setting the password etc. if the user had not done that already. One thing to note is that some safes (not the Sentry Safe) need both a key and a combination. I think this is not what most users expect and would be annoying to in practice.

Genau das was versprochen wurde. Ideale Größe und prompte Lieferung. Innen auch eine Unterlage damit nichts zerkratzt wird. Preislich vielleicht eine Spur zu teuer.

扉のたてつけが悪くカギが開いていても金庫の扉が開けられないものが届いた。アマゾンに交換を依頼しようとし、あれこれネット上で操作していると金庫は返品交換対象外との記載にたどり着きその後も同じところを無限ループしてカスタマーセンターにさえたどり着けない状態。運よく説明書にメーカーの連絡先が有ったので連絡して交換してもらいましたが、新しく届いたものも扉は開くがやっぱり少し傾いていて動きが悪くちょっと心配な感じ。アマゾンは金庫は返品交換できない旨を目立つ所に記載して販売すべきでは？星五つにしたのはたくさんの方に伝えたいと思ったからです。
