2.0 out of 5 stars It may be fire proof but it's not drop proof!!!, October 18, 2006

I don't know if it's fire-safe (haven't had a fire) but it's certainly not drop proof. I moved last year. The safe was stacked on a box about two feet off the ground. My husband accidentally knocked it off the box and the safe fell open! Curious about wheter this was a fluke, I closed the safe, locked it and knock it off the box again. Same thing- it popped right open.

I guess this safe is ok if you're going to put it on the first floor but don't expect your valuables to be safe if you put it on the second floor.

4.0 out of 5 stars A review NOT from a seller, May 31, 2006

The other review is so obviously someone from SENTRY that I thought I'd add my two cents. My house hasn't burned down so I don't know if this works, but I've read other articles that say it does. It is heavy (since the foam contains water to evaporate and dissipate heat in a fire), and there is no rubber grips on the bottom, so it can slide around a lot. It's a lot cheaper and more convient than renting a safety deposit box.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a secure product, June 15, 2005

I purchased this as a safe to lock things in, very inexpensive to say the least.

Be aware, you get what you pay for. I think it's important to understand that this unit is designed to protect against FIRES... it is NOT a safe.

I found this out one day when I picked it up to open and put something in, accidently dropped it, and it just opened up easily... If you own one, hold the handle, then lift the unit up lengthwise, then tap it on the floor with a slight force angled a little on the smaller/top side of the unit, it will open easily everytime... this scares me... also, every unit uses the same key...

So if you need to protect against fires, this is probably a good device, for security, buy something better.
