SentrySafe EF3428E Large Fire/Water Resistant Safe with Digital Keypad, 3.4 Cu-Ft., Black

I 've had a small SentrySafe for many years and had been very satisfied. The time has come to upgrade to a larger safe and after extensive reviews and comments about other company models at this price point, I selected the EF3428E. Very pleased with the construction and dealing with the SentrySafe organization. I saw other reviews that mention the inside lining was little loose. Mine was also, but this helped when I needed to lift it when bolting it down and running LED lighting. I just used a little contact cement when done and sealed it in place. Would buy again.

This is my third purchase of a SentrySafe product. My primary reason for continuing with SentrySafe is the excellent support and assistance I received when problems with the internal mechanism of my prior one. I am still using it in addition to the current one purchased.

Perfect for me needs as a pistol safe. Needs FRESH batteries or you will need the key. Handle gets loose and plastic plug is impossible to get out without breaking but it is cosmetic only and black tape works fine to replace. 3 shelves allows me to store magazines, pistols and ammo.

Overall well built but one improvement would give it five stars. I bolted it directly to a flat concrete floor but it wobbled. I thought the floor may have had a high spot but did not. Looking down into the bolt hole cavities after re- bolting, the problem was revealed. The bolts were tight. It was the bottom of the save flexing that was causing the wobbling. The bottom of the safe either needs to be made of a thicker gauge of steel or beefed up to prevent wobbling.

Safe has all the basic features that one might ask for in a safe. The only shortcoming we found was the shelves are weak and cannot hold much weight. Forget about storing coins on the shelves.

Good sized safe for a decent prize. Quality of internal vertical shelve bracket placement is poor and cheap feel quality shelves. Other than that over all good safe, you do need to account for the door swing thickness (door thickness and handle) when thinking about placement.

I'm not pleased with this safe ! The package was very poor. Nothing but cardboard and it was all ripped up. The safes were scratched and white dust inside and in the keypad. The doors don't want to close to lock them ! I really should've returned my safes as soon as I saw the packaging! Very disappointed!!!

I have experienced several problems with this safe. The first delivery had to be returned because front of safe was badly scratched. The replacement has the felt lining on the shelves and interior is hanging off the edges instead of glued to surfaces. There had been wet, and glue spots on the back of the shelves that needed cleaning. The door needed to be left open to dry out the safe. Now the door will not close properly and it can't be locked.

My school administration purchased the safe so that we could be in compliance with regulations for test storage. But I cannot lock the safe. The bolts slide easily into place when the door is open (which is great, so the system works)

I own 5 of these safes. The first 3 were a 3 star rating although customer support has always been poor. the newest ones are horrible. break and jam without little effort. strongly recommend against this product. im searching for an alternative
