Only worked a few times now is refusing to open with my paperwork trapped inside so I can't even return it, beyond frustrated Update: after all the troubleshooting what worked was tapping it with a rubber mallet as they suggested to dislodge any stuck mechanisms, then it easily opened the first attempt, I changed my star rating to a 5, it is a great safe 👍

We purchased this safe due living in a condo and it fits perfectly in a closet and is easy to pick up and run in case that is a fire. It holds all of our important documents. Very pleased with this product. Would buy again.

The initial order for this safe arrived with a problem that has been reported previously that it woudl not open. Called tech support who recommended that I apply a heavy weight to the top of the safe to loosen the waterproof seal. I did this an was able to open the safe. To test it, I closed it again and was unable to open the safe. I returned the safe and ordered another one. This one had no problems opening. (important: When you put in the code and the lock mechanism opens, pull up on the far right of the open mechanism to open. Not an obvious to do). The new safe is exactly what I wanted.... a fire and waterproof safe for important documents and digital media.

I installed the battery per the instructions, confirmed it operated before closing the lid. Next I closed the lid, I entered the code, I could hear the mechanism unlock the lid, I pushed down on the lid and squeezed the handle to release the latch but the lid would not unlock and release. Called Sentry customer service, was told my battery was bad. Tried multiple batteries, was told by Sentry my brand new batteries were too old. Just BS. I had to get it open before returning it because I had my items locked in it, so I took it to a machine shop. They used a blade/tool pushed in between the lid and the cabinet to put a side force on the latch to help it release after I entered the code. After about 10 tries the latch finally released. Operated it about 10 times and finally I learned the trick to operate this terrible design is to do the following: While entering the code with right hand push down on the lid with left hand with about 20lb of force, when the mechanism unlocks use right hand to pull in on the handle ON THE FAR RIGHT END OF THE HANDLE ONLY with about 10lb of force while keeping the lid pushed down with left hand. Not easy to do with just 2 hands. Many people and children will not be able to do this. I will see if it gets easier in the next week or so and if not I will return it.

The lock is a little difficult at times but always works, for its size she kinda chonky, the handles suck they need to be deeper, does not hold as much stuff as I thought it would but i made it work.

El interior es muy pequeño. Las paredes de la caja son muy gruesas por ende a penas caben un par de libros dentro. La chapa no es de la mejor calidad y si fuerzas la tapa de la caja hacia un lado, se abre aún con el candado puesto.

It is very, very heavy. Lifting it out of box and into position was not easy. But it is rock solid. Read instructions carefully to understand battery installation. Programming your own code is easy. It is tricky to open -- you have to put in your code and then quickly push down on the top as you squeeze up on the opening lever. I usually need to do it more than once to get it open but I do feel it is secure and it's roomy enough to hold all my important items/documents.

Excellent produit! Ouverture et fermeture sur écran tactile très simple. Peut être facilement transporté pour être placé dans un endroit accessible. Évidemment, ce n'est pas un coffre-fort anti-vol mais il est utilisé pour protéger certains documents légaux, passeports, bijoux et autres contre le feu.
