SentrySafe H0100 Fire-Resistant Box Safe and Water-Resistant Safe with Key Lock, 0.17 Cu. ft., Black

I like this item because it is small enough to be hidden easily, yet strong enough to protect your belongings from fire or water damage. It is a bit heavy, but that's to be expected. It is not intended to hold large items, but for personal papers, or jewelry, cash, it is perfect.

I noticed someone said it didn't come with keys so he couldn't open it. The keys are inside the safe. Note it comes unlocked, and in order to open, you have to push down on the top while pressing the release latch under the lid, just above the keyhole. It comes with an insert attached to the lid showing how. The keys are then inside the safe. The white dust on Sentry Safes making it look dirty is apparently normal, and is Sentry's patented insulation, to make Sentry Safe Fire-Safe products UL classified which are concrete-based, and thus not unusual for dried concrete dust to be evident on your safe as a result of the manufacturing process and vibrations during shipping. Fortunately, mine only had a little on the back, which easily wiped off. It appears others may have more. It's nothing to worry about. This is not my first Sentry Safe. It's the perfect size for my needs, to hold a small zipper bag for my social security card, birth certificate, voting registration card, etc., as well as a fireproof bag, 10.2" x 6", I bought separately to help reduce the heat for plastic items such as flash memory cards I backup all of my devices to. All in all, it appears to be exactly what I needed, fireproof, waterproof, and hopefully I won't have to test it out in an actual fire, but the peace of mind it provides is worth it alone.

I keep all my important paperwork inside. It fits nice under my bed it's. Not that heavy or bulky like other safes/lock boxes.

Great fire safe box for saving your important papers, etc. This is the perfect size. So nice, in fact, that we have purchased three of these for family members!!

After the floods and hurricanes,decided to buy my kids and grandkids these fire boxes to keep their vital papers in. Ordered and fast shipping. Great and I feel better,hope they are happy!

Just short of fitting a standard piece of paper. Fits if you let it bend so it's in at an angle, but won't be able to utilize the full depth of the safe. If you've only got a few documents, or smaller items, it will suffice. If you need to store a folder or binder, get something slightly larger.

I believe this is a good sturdy safe but you would be wise to check the INSIDE measurements. It looks like it will hold 8x11 documents and it does but they do have to be crunched up a little. It works though for what I needed.

With a plastic shell it comes across as cheap. Noticed a crack on the back side of the safe after owning it for 16 months. 2 more cracks are inside near the hinge points. I would expect a safe not to crack and will look for something with a stronger shell. The water proof seal does not appear to be affected. Locking and unlocking with the key is nice but opening it can be tricky as you have to push down on the top and then press the button to open it. With the cover open, it becomes top heavy and wants to tip backwards.

Arrived in manufacturer's display box with no additional packaging. Package was damaged and safe had cuts/cracks in the vinyl coating. I have one of these boxe I bought in the store and it is fine. This review is for poor packaging. I plan to return the item.

We just revived this product as a wedding gift and I was greatly disappointed! After opening it once or twice and owning it for a week the key wouldn't work. I called customer service and the representative sounded annoyed at my call. I explained to her the problem and she suggested sitting on it while we opened it. We tried that then she suggested using WD-40. I told her we didn't have any. She replied that we needed to get some and try it. "If that doesn't work you need to break it open, and if it's open you need to buy a new safe." That is the most outrageous customer service I have ever heard of! I will never purchase another Sentry Safe product!
