Dollar for dollar your best little fire safe you can buy. It's the perfect size for any of your needs, and if you need to protect any investments it is also great. Priced to sell, and if you need another one there cheap, just go down and buy one. There not set up as a burg safe, but it should keep sticky fingers out. I myself have more than a few, and some have the black casing, and some have the white casing. Another handy thing is that it's a top loader, which makes it easier to get at everything. It's tall enough to put files in also. I recommend this to every household.

This safe is a great deal. I gave it to my boyfriend who is a firefighter and he said this brand is durable and strong. He said he's pulled these safes from charred homes and all the items inside were in perfect condition. Great size for important documents.

This is perfect for any house hold or small business. Not recommended for anti theft purposes unless you can hide it in some way. It is easy to move around for one person. Fits everything that you could possibly need to. Well built in my opinion (Thanks USA) and should give you peace of mind that your important files/keep sakes are protected in case of a fire/or water leak. So 5 stars for me... the price is right especially for free shipping online. Do yourself a favor get one help our economy. Buy American Made.

I got the black safe it was well packaged.

For the money I would argue this is the best investment I've made in a long time. Sentry has a long standing reputation and I'm sure if I had to test this safe it would perform well. 30 minutes should always be enough for firefighters to come in and control the flames. The locking mechanism doesn't seem to be as durable as you would imagine but overall it's a great product for the price. Hence the 4 stars.

This does exactly what you would expect. It holds hanging files well and seals well.

My only complaint: no handles. at all.

You have to give it a bear hug to move it. It's not exorbitantly heavy, so you can move it around, but it would have been nice to at least have a finger ledge on the sides to be able to grab it and lift it up.

Years ago purchased a different model, same size for more $,
maybe 50% higher price. As that one is full, thought it was time
to buy another and saw this one, similar size, same brand, but less costly.
While will use it, had to repair it right out of the box.
Could not easily open/close the lock, the latch was bent.
Key doesn't fit well into the lock.

Hopefully will never find out just how fire resistant it really is,
but has to be better than the cardboard box I was using :-)

I bought SentrySafe 1170 Black after I used a white one (from SentrySafe too) for a couple of years. Great price from Amazon.com. It's very good to store backup hard drives, DVD's, CD's, USB drives, and important documents. Although there is no handle for easy carrying, it still is a usefule firesafe.

as with everyone else who buys one of these, i hope to never find out if it really works like it's supposed to. item was shipped on-time and as described. it was clear that my particular box had been taken out of its styrofoam padding before, as there were little pieces of the styrofoam loose in the box, but i have no reason to believe that it was anything more than a returned item. fire-proofing aside, box functions as advertised.

This product was just as described.

I have another SentrySafe safe which is very difficult to open and close. I have to push down on the top in order for it to open.
This one is much easier to open once unlocked and there's never any guess work as to whether it's locked or not.

Perfect for filing secure paperwork.

I ordered this safe to house all of our important documents (birth/marriage certificates, passports, taxes, etc.). It's the perfect size! Big enough to hold hanging file folders so I can organize, and small enough that I can still move it around as needed. Don't get me wrong though, it's a heavy/sturdy safe. I am very happy with my purchase and couldn't believe how fast it was shipped/received. I would definitely recommend this safe for the everyday household.
