Tools and Hardware Reviews of SentrySafe H4100 FIRE-SAFE Waterproof File, 1175 Cubic Inches, Silver Gray
Customer Review: Hard to Open :(
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this safe and the shipping was extremely fast (ordered on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday with Super Saver shipping) so no complaints there. However, opening the safe proved to be almost impossible, contrary to some other reviews I read. I finally got it open by turning it upside down and using my shoe to open the latch. Perhaps a defect with my unit, but I have returned it & plan to choose a different safe rather than risk it a second time.Customer Review: I like mine
Summary: 5 Stars
The first thing I had to do was put this thing on the floor and instead of pushing on the top with one's hand like the directions advise, I instead got over the top of it and pushed with my knee on the top, while simultaneously unlocking the latch. THAT was what opened it for me.
Once you get it open, READ the enclosed pamphlet that tells you to put pressure on the top of it every time you open it. Remember that tidbit of info.
It takes quite a bit of pressure to get this safe to unlock, due to the rubber gasket around the edge of the lid that makes it waterproof.
After that, you should be good to go.
I'm trying to decide where to put mine. I have a big can of flowers sitting in the corner of my den, I think if I turn this thing around facing the wall, it'll make a nice little pedestal for the flowers.
Customer Review: Is exactly what I needed!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this safe a few weeks ago. I needed it to store a backup drive, car titles and a few other odds and ends. I like that I can use hanging file folders in it. It is basically everything I needed in a safe. I probably do not even need as much room as it provides, but I was afraid the smaller one wouldn't be big enough. This one definitely is big enough. I am glad I purchased it.Customer Review: Its a safe
Summary: 4 Stars
I asked for and received this safe as a gift. I had no problems with the hinges, the items I am storing all fit without issue, and the safe seems to be doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing.
A couple of things to note:
- There is no way to bolt this down to the floor. If someone wants to pick it up and walk out there is nothing to stop them from doing so. But this is not sold as a security safe - this is a fire and water resistant safe.
- The manual states that the material that they use for the fireproofing in the walls of the safe contain a high amount of moisture naturally. So, if you are storing items that are moisture-sensitive (like old photos) then you should seal them in zip-lock bags before putting them into the safe. One of the things that I am storing is an external hard drive, so I placed many packets of silica gel (moisture absorber) in the safe to draw any moisture out of the air. You can buy silica gel at any craft store in the dried flowers section.
Customer Review: Letter sized folders barely fit
Summary: 3 Stars
Despite the advertised dimensions and the product image showing a letter sized file folder inside the safe, I had difficulty fitting one in because the interior of the safe just isn't wide enough. You can still put a letter sized folder in diagonally, but that makes the already limited space less usable. Other than this the safe is ok quality, it's a firesafe so don't expect too much from the lock, a simple key lock.
