SentrySafe Fireproof and Waterproof Home Safe with Biometric Fingerprint Lock, Keypad, and Key Lock for Securing Money, Jewelry, Documents, 1.23 Cubic Feet, SFW123BTC

Why did you pick this product vs others?: the reviews that I read all said it was the best in my price range for home security Security: I like that the key overrides the combination. I had read that there are ways to defeat the combinationlock with a magnet but if that is true, the key will prevent that. Design: In spite of some reviews, my safe came p[ackaged secury with no dents or scratches. It was heavy to put in position,but the quality and ease of use is impressive. Value for money: I had a cheaper safe and thought it was secure. After my home was broken into I found out how easy it was to use a crowbar ( which the thieves found in my garage) and pry the side with the bolts out and the door [popped open. Unless I am missing something here, this is not going to happen with this safe. Works well: Simple to understand programming the combination. Thickness: As I said, this thing is heavy and if you hit it on the side, it sounds solid. I don't usually write reviews but in this case I wanted others to know what a great product this is. I am very happy with this purchase and recommend this safe very highly. No negatives to report.

Still setting up but seemingly easy to do so. Perfect size for me as I mostly store papers, lighted inside, manufacture's initial entry code last forever while 2 other codes can be personalized and any of the three can be used; note that using the floor screws invalidates the waterproof warranty. Appears to be very high quality.

Great product and love the light inside as the old one does not have a light great upgrade

nice sturdy safe. nice size The key lock is not separate; it is added security. You still need the keypad to open. The batteries for the keypad are in a battery slot outside, easy to access and change batteries; this is great. it says you can bolt down the safe. This is really malarkey. There are some lag bolt screws included, but no preset place to drill; you drill blindly through safewalls, and it disables any waterproofing of the safe. This is terrible and will most likely not be implemented by anyone. It is a marketing gimmick only to say you can bolt down the safe.

This safe is absolutely amazing! It is above my expectations and I will recommend this safe to friends and family

I had to return it because you cannot store electronic devices or guns inside the safe. This information should be in the product description but it is not! There should be a START HERE instructions with needing to install batteries before you can open the safe. The instructions make it look like you need a physical key to open it at first glance. But actually you do not. The physical key is for a secondary lock on the door and it cannot be used to open the safe. Only way to open is to install batteries and enter the factory set code (code is printed on the back of booklet). I wasted 20 minutes tracing my steps looking for a physical key when infact the physical key is inside the safe and to be honest it is totally unnecessary. Aside from the above, the safe does not look anything like the pictures. It is plastic all over and has a cheap feel to it. I also had an issue where the door would not unlock even after entering the correct code. It turns out you have to apply pressure to the handle as you enter the code otherwise it will not open! This is mentioned in the booklet.

I was a bit hesitant to order this based on other 1-star reviews here, especially the ones mentioning how finicky and inconsistent the fingerprint reader is. And for the first few minutes I was trying to set it up, I had the exact same frustrating issues others have mentioned, and I couldn't get fingerprints to register or read consistently. ...until, that is, I noticed the little strip of protective plastic covering the fingerprint reader. I have to gives kudos to the factory for their precision work here, because the plastic was fit SO precisely to the reader that it was absolutely invisible until I really started investigating. Once that strip came off, it was a whole new game and I've had absolutely no issues with it since. Of course, I don't know for sure that this is behind the problems others have had with the fingerprint reader (and of course makes no difference to the OTHER problems people have encountered), but I will say it fixed my woes. Otherwise, very satisfied: it's beefy, spacious, the pull-out drawer insert is a nice touch, and I didn't have any issues setting it up once I got it working right. Your mileage may vary!

Hravy safe that can be unlocked using your fingerprint or the combination. Good price for this item.

Item took a month to arrive but I knew that when I ordered it. Item came well packaged and as a result i found no flaws or defects as some have reported. Safe ws easy to configure to configure to my own codes, ?This was a replacemnt to a smaller sentry safe. Very pleased with nthis purchase.
