5.0 out of 5 stars Advice about fire resistant safe and chests, June 24, 2010

I thought I'd offer this general advice for anybody considering buying a fire resistant (not fireproof) safe/chest product.

Some of the products only offer fire protection and not water protection, now consider this, if your home/property did catch fire and you were unable to grab your fire resistant safe, and it was left in the property, you'd be thinking...'that's OK, it's fire resistant'...but then (hopefully) the Fire Dept. turn up...and what do they do? They soak your property with water, and your safe is only 'fire resistant' not 'water resistant'.

My advice - go for one that is also water resistant, as where there is fire, hopefully water will soon follow!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fire Resistant 1170 Sentry Safe, May 9, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: SentrySafe 1170 1/2 Hour Fireproof Security File, .61 Cubic Feet, Dove Gray (Tools & Home Improvement)

The 1170 is just what I needed to keep some important documents in a fire resistant safe. The lock may not be that sturdy but if you lock the safe and you have a break-in, they will either break the lock or take the safe. So, my advice, don't lock it unless you have to have it locked for a reason. The size is big enough to hang some hanging files and a bunch of documents. I am glad I used Amazon for this purchase since they allowed me free shipping. This safe is pretty heavy (31 lbs) and the shipping would have been expensive. The safe is also very sturdy and seems well built. I read that there may be an issue with moisture building up in the safe and the manufacturer recommended using a desicant. Although the desicant must be changed periodically. Someone recommened that I wrap the documents in foil to ward off any moisture. And, you should know; the safe is "fire resistant" not "fire-proof" see manufacturers specs. If you call the Sentry Safe folks they are very helpful. Hope this helps your decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice box, April 12, 2008

Purchased this more for fire protection then anything else. Nice size inside & out. The hanging folders are a nice touch. Durable & well built. Able to move around without a lot of hassle. As to theft proof, the lock is sturdy enough to deter most intruders. Definitely recommended.
