SentrySafe CHW30200 Fire Resistant Box Safe and Waterproof Safe with Tubular Key Lock 0.36 cu. ft.

Very happy with this safe. It is reasonably priced and, so far, has worked good. It's a bit heavy, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing (in my opinion).

Good safe. It functions as described. I would recommend.

my safe is the perfect size for my needs . It is fireproof, which I think is very important. This is the second one that I have bought.

This is just right for us fits all our important papers plus has room for more more if needed

works as hoped!

The key mechanism is awkward. One has to press it in to engage it before one can turn it the ¼ turn neded. The problem is the key mechanism is sloppy. there's no real way to access the back to tighten it up. Unless the box is at counter hight it's tricky to press the key in far enough to get it seated properly. Nothing that you'd want to use on a daily basis, also, it doesn't instill a lot of confidence that the lock wouldn't malfunction, barring access to the contents. The key doesn't actually operate a lock. It limits the travel of bar, spring loaded, that will prevent a hook, also spring loaded, in the lid from retracting from the hasp opposite of the bar when the release in the lid is pressed. The recessed bar lever, about three inches long, only works when pressed all the way to the right directly above the hook and key mechanism. It's easy to think you've locked it, when in fact you haven't. It's quite heavy and it would be nice to have a couple of recesses on the sides, to make it easier to pick up and move.

my lock is stuck between open and close so I cannot use the key anymore and then the safe stays permanently unlocked. I thought sentry products were tougher than 1 year.

The lid does not fit flush to the body of the safe. Safe may be fireproof but no way is it waterproof. You can see the gap when you look down the side of the safe. I say it would also be easy to open with a straight screwdriver and hammer. I got a replacement safe sent to me but it was just as bad. These safes are on sale at Home Depot, and I saw one with a open box. The safe was a different model but had the same problem with the lid.

Pretty useless safe, it broke within 5 uses, the lock broke

Don't have a handle and hard to open . Thinking about returning.
