A very good purchase with excellent quality! I always wanted to have all my important files placed in a safe centralized location. This is an excellent alternative for a safe deposit box at a bank that can be very costly. I am completely satisfied with this product. I would also recommend you purchase the largest size you require
This is one of those purchases that you will be glad you made!

Sentry 1170 Safe, 02/05/2010
By away2sea, Morris Plains, NJ
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Since I already have four of these in my home and office, it was very easy to decide what to buy when I needed another one.

The safe is very easy to use, holds pendaflex folders with no problems, and will hopefully work as promised. Fortunately I've never had a chance to find out how well it works in fire but similar products from Sentry have worked for others so I would recommend this based on their experiences.

I researched this product on line for several local office supply vendors and Walmart's price was considerably less. I already own the product and needed to purchase as a gift, so was looking for the best price.

Just What I Needed, 01/02/2010
By razorsnblades, Cosby, TN
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I was in need of a fire resistant storage unit for important papers and documents. This one filled all of my requirements and at a great price too. I'm very happy and would recommend this unit to anyone looking for inexpensive fireproof storage for important paperwork. It is not intended to be a secure unlockable safe.

I checked several web sites for this specific product, I even went to the Sentry web site. Nobody could beat Walmart on price and shipping. I have owned this type of safe for over 13 years. I gave my old one to my son when he moved out and bought a new one for myself. GREAT PRODUCT

Good Enough, 10/09/2009
By Marshmellows
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

For the price, it's reasonably well sized, and is ready-capable of standard sized filing cabinet folders. The locking arm, whatever you'd call it, came bent in mine. If I unlock it too far, I have to shoehorn it back out. Once I got used to that, and figured out to just not unlock it all the way, it's fine. Stuck important papers in there.. an external hard drive with my valuable data.

Can't say I've had to test it yet - thankfully.

Quite satisfied, 08/02/2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

After reading the review of this fire-safe security file, I was still a little bit undecided if I was doing the right thing by ordering it ... but order it I did. Was completely satisfied with the file and MORE than satisfied with the totally inexpensive shipping costs. I should have purchased this years ago.

Sentry Fire-Safe, 07/25/2009
By spage7777, Charlotte, NC
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I really like this safe but would prefer it to be about an inch wider, due to some folders that I have that will barely fit in it.

Other than that, I have no complaints and really like it.

Don't waster you money. The hinge material is weak and the box lid will fall off. Read the other reviews.

Worth it all the way, 08/16/2008
By linloudes1, Vermont
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I bought this model safe a couple of years ago. I didnt get it to prevent theft, I got it to keep my items safe. Well five weeks ago it proved its worth. We had a fire and everything inside was perfect, including silver coins and pictures. I didnt lock the safe and it was on a ground floor. I would definitely lock it if you cannot keep it on a basement floor. The house was a total loss and the safe held its own. I will definitely be getting the bigger version as soon a we rebuild. I bought it on a whim and now I am so glad I did.

very disappointed!!!!!, 03/23/2008
By kristiluvsmsh
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

Sentry is a brand name I once trusted. The day the product arrived, I opened the safe and the lid just fell off on my kitchen table (very heavy, by the way). The hinge was made of a very thin plastic that was broken on the safe I purchased. Incredibly disappointed in the low quality hinge. However, wal-mart was great about reimbursing me on a full refund for the item.
