Sentry Safe FPW082HTC Fire-Resistant, Water-Resistant with Digital Keypad Safe

Based on receiving it, "installing it", and having it for a month, this 100% serves my purposes. First, be warned and be prepared, it is VERY heavy when delivered to your front porch or door. By sliding it on an open carton, I was able to get it to my pretty secretive location. The controls work very well. Mine is in a location where I cannot stand right into front. The push button number entry works great and in my opinion is far better than using a dial like an old fashioned safe. The user manual is excellent - but one big caution I don't know how to well solve: on the back cover page of the user manual, the manufacturer has pasted the override codes to open it. IF you keep that manual around your house, anyone who gets the manual and turns to the back cover can know how to open your safe. Following their guidance, I bought a big bag of dessicant and I plan to replace the one or two dessicants now in the safe every several months. Apparently, moisture is a concern, so pay attention to their guidance to open the safe every couple of weeks to let any moist air escape.

Our bank branch closed and we chose to buy a safe that was available to us at all times. We researched several brands and sizes. The size we purchased was perfect for all our documents. If you have a large amount of jewelry and personal documents, purchase a larger size. We are pleased with the key override and ability to create multiple codes. Backlit keypad is very helpful. There is also a light on the door to aid seeing inside the safe. The safe comes with hardware to mount to the floor. Strongly suggest registering safe on the Sentry Safe website. The website allows the owner to enter the factory code, as well as well as up to 5 personal codes. This allows the owner to access their codes if forgotten. I can unequivocally recommend this safe.
