SentrySafe Fireproof and Waterproof Lock Box with Key Lock, File Safe with Carrying Handles for Documents, 0.66 Cubic Feet, 14.1 x 16.6 x 13.8 Inches, FHW40100

I have a Sentry safe I've used for years. With recent California fires, I nearly needed to evacuate and found the safe would have been very difficult to carry. I was happy to find this Sentry box that can keep my important documents (passports, birth certificates, wills, home loan, etc.) safe. It's also easy to carry with the handles. I did consider a similar Sentry box, but went with this one because of the handles. If I ever need to evacuate in the future, it will be easy to carry this box to my car.

This is my second safe. I find these very good purchases. Easy setup. Make sure you get 9volt battery as it is required

it was just to small for my needs but was sturdy and very heavy

Nice box . I just would have liked to see a better locking mechanism. Smoother. The action is coarse and chunky. But it does as advertised so you can’t fault it except for being a bit shabby in action.

This file safe is heavy duty and I mean very heavy. It will be difficult to move it around especially when it’s already filled with important documents. And that’s a good thing because you don’t want anybody to just run out with it. The keypad is functional. Good value for the price.

Bought one here, to replace a Sentry Safe unit that I had for several years until the top came off. Replaced it with this one with the digital combination lock. Bad decision.I was able to open the unit one (1) time, because it came unlocked. As soon as I shut it to try the combination they provided, it was clear that it wasn't opening with that combination. It made a noise that sounded like something was moving in the lock mechanism, but whatever may have been moving in there wasn't enough for me to get the lid opened. When I looked closely, I could see that the mechanism involved a "hook" and what I would call a "latch bar." The design seemed to be such that you should be able to press on an exterior bar to get the hook to pivot enough to not get caught on the latch bar, probably the latch bar was supposed to move away from the hook when the correct combination is entered. I tried a bunch of times but never saw that latch bar move at all and while it looked like the hook pivoted some it was not enough for me to get the thing opened.So, I called the manufacturer, I figured I just had the wrong combination and since the combination was six digits I didn't really feel like trying literally 1,000,000 combinations to see if that was even the problem. I have to say that the manufacturer was great about it, they didn't think it was the wrong combination, they thought it may be a flaw with either the mechanism itself or possibly the seal was somehow interfering with the mechanism. So, I tried what they suggested, but to no avail. I called them back (the person I spoke to gave me a direct dial number which I thought was outstanding) and they sent me another one and told me don't bother returning what I paid for.Guess what happened with the one they sent me? Same thing, opened it once, tried to open it again with the combination they provided, it didn't open. I called the same agent again, she offered to send another one, but I declined. I purchased a different model from a different manufacturer and made sure that it had a key lock rather than a digital combination lock.

Exactly what I hoped for. Manageable weight wise, easy to store. Enough room to hold the import documents that need to be at hand in case of an emergency.

Added security: not just a key to open, but you must press a hidden bar to open this safe.
