SentrySafe XX-Large Black Floor Safe with Digital Coded Keypad, Gun Safe for Handgun or Other Valuables, 2.2 Cubic Feet, T6-331

Excellent safe - very pleased with this purchase. After looking long and hard for an adequate safe for multiple pistols I own, I came across this safe by chance, and overall, it had everything I wanted. Other safes I was looking at were quite small, looked flimsy, and even though they featured biometric capability, the user reviews left me very unnerved - some being broken into by children, while others being broken into with a firm strike with a fist. I am sure such stories were rare, but the fact that such incidents occurred left me highly wary of making a purchase. Not only is this safe larger than most within this price category, but the door and (4) bolt locking system is very robust. I was very pleased to see how solid and well built everything looked, and the heft / weight of this safe leaves me feeling confident that my firearms will be kept safe from curious children. Some users mentioned the carpeted shelves being flimsy and easy to give way. Yes, the shelves are very basic, but I had no troubles securing them in place with several firearms worth of weight that did not cause them to tilt or break free. Further, they are adjustable, allowing you to place them in differing areas, based upon your storage preferences. The locking mechanism feels very robust and stout - you can feel the (4) heavy duty bolts locking firmly into place, and the door has a nice solid heft to it as well. As for the keypad, it was very easy to program, and is very easy to use with soft push button keypads that allow you to input a (5) numerical code - everything except "00000", which would be ludicrous to use. I prefer this numerical keypad style of entry versus biometrics, as the more I read about biometric access, the less certain I felt. I am sure there are some excellent biometric safes available, but I simply like the basic numerical entry - safe, simple & effective, especially if you need access without fuss & bother. One of the features I like about this is the fact that if an incorrect code is inputted more than (3) times over, the system will lock out for a full (2) minutes, which will discourage a curious or malicious person trying to crack your code. In terms of security, this safe can be bolted down to the floor, which is wise to do, if you have the means to do so. The included bolts are very heavy duty, and would be very effective in keeping anyone from removing this safe from your residence. Without the bolts (despite the 100+ lbs. weight of this safe), a malicious person could pick up this safe and walk away with it - demonstrated by the fact that our FedEx driver carried the safe into our home. Access can be made with the keypad code that you enter, or in the case of battery failure (or forgetting your access code), the safe comes with (2) skeleton style keys. What I like about the keys is the fact that the key entry is 100% hidden behind the removable keypad, which is not obvious at all. One would have to be knowledgeable about this feature to utilize it correctly, so I really like this hidden aspect. However, it is highly prudent such keys are hidden with great care, as curious minds could easily ascertain this information with a basic Google search. So, if you have young children or teenagers alike, be 100% sure this set of keys is in a locale they could never find - with them, access to the safe is moments away. One aspect that would be nice is interior LED lighting, as it is quite dark further back into the safe itself. However, you can easily find auto illuminating LED's for this very application, so this is an easy add-on to a well built safe. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I feel confident that this safe will vastly discourage anyone from gaining access to my firearms, and I trust that this layer of protection will keep my family safe, as I always want to be as responsible as possible when it comes to firearms - especially with curious children who simply do not know better, no matter how much they are taught or drilled. Whether your intent is to store firearms like me, or other valuable possessions, I feel that this Sentry Safe is one of the best on the market when you break down the size, pricing and features. I am very happy with my purchase, and look forward to utilizing this safe to its fullest potential.

I don't normally write product reviews, but felt compelled to review this safe. I own another (deposit style) safe from Sentrysafe and have been very happy with the overall build quality. I was looking for a slightly larger safe that offered more organization and usable space. This safe is very high quality, sturdy (and very heavy--100lbs). It has several very useful features including soft inner light, backup key access, and carpeted shelves. **If you read the reviews on this safe, I think most would agree on the superb materials, fit, and finish. Many of the negative reviews point to a flawed battery compartment design. The battery compartment for this safe is located on the INSIDE of the safe (as opposed to behind the keypad on the OUTSIDE of the door). This means that the safe needs to be OPEN to change the batteries. Unfortunately, there is a significant gap between the battery tray and lid so closing the heavy safe door can dislodge the batteries and disconnect the circuit, rendering the electronic keypad unusable and you will need to use the back-up key to manually open the safe. This completely defeats the purpose and convenience of the electronic keypad altogether. Some people have reported a few jerry-rigged solutions like inserting a piece of cardboard in between or taping the batteries in place. I had some extra furniture foam pads (the kind you stick under chair/sofa/table legs etc... (to prevent scratching hardwood floors) and stuck a few of them across the inside of the plastic lid cover. This eliminates the gap and secures the batteries in place when closing the safe door regardless of how (reasonably) hard I tried. Problem solved! I totally agree that this is a major technical fail in the engineering and design of an otherwise extremely high quality safe. I took a chance with this minor modification and couldn't be happier with the final quality and value of this safe!

It's a functional digital safe with a good size. You can use the shelves or remove them to fit larger items. The complaint about the batteries is real---without some additional support, they slide out of place, requiring the use of the key to open. I was able to fit some thin foam between the batteries and the plastic cover, and I haven't had any issues. At 100lb, it's a bulky safe that would take some effort to walk off with, and I can fit it inconspicuously out of the way. For its price ($250 total) and size, it met my needs.

Great product - easy to set up and use. Quality safe.

We bought two of these safes and they are PERFECT for what we want to protect. We have one for jewelry (and it holds ALOT of individual pieces) along with documents, small weapons and family heirlooms. The other safe holds other small items such as collectable coins and other rare objects. They are bolted to the floor which was NOT difficult to do and was located in unique places in the house. If you want something smaller than a gun safe but larger and more secure than a lockbox, this is the safe to buy. We have also had other family members purchase these also. Great price. Plus they deliver which can get to be expensive the heavier the safe is that you buy.

I purchased this to use in the office of our retail store. We had an old dial combination safe that was difficult to operate. This safe is easy to enter the combination. The one thing we initially had trouble was the batteries coming loose so that the keypad wouldn't work. We finally add some thin foam to hold the batteries in and it has worked great since.

I wanted to like this safe, but I would not recommend it because of two major design problems: 1.) The batteries powering the keypad are located precariously inside the safe door and can become dislodged easily. When opening and closing the safe, the batteries easily shift out of position, causing the keypad to stop working. When that happens, you have to use the backup key, open the door, and reposition the batteries. This happened very often. 2.) The handle becomes loose and can eventually fail. In my case, the handle loosened and started spinning without catching or retracting the bolts, which means the safe door no longer opened and closed. As a result, your valuables can get stuck inside the safe. After reading other reviews, this seems to be a fairly common issue, not just an isolated defect. Because of these issues, the safe can become unreliable in exactly the moments when you need it to work. Based on my experience, I would avoid this model.

The box arrived as a strapping tape masterpiece plugging multiple orifices on all sides and corners. It looks like this safe was a recycled return. The safe took mostly minor cosmetic damage (especially on the corners) though there was one impact impression on the top-left-front corner, pretty easy to see in strong light (blends as the light dims). Parts were streun around the bottom inside of the safe (not in packaging) and the probably as a consequence, the battery holder was broken such that it would not fasten to the wall. One quick call to SentrySafe solved that issue. The safe seems to function well. Functionality is more important (to me) than cosmetics, so I will keep the safe.

Facil de instalar

Excellent heavy duty safe at a very reasonable price Solid build quality easy to set up Weighs 60kgs so combined with the anchor bolts supplied will certainly take some "nicking"

El producto llegó golpeado y mal tratado, parece usado y por el precio que pagué debería de ser nuevo.
