Tools and Hardware Reviews of SentrySafe F2300 Fire-Safe Waterproof Chest with Tubular Key, 33lbs, .36 Cu. Ft., Charcoal
Customer Review: Faulty
Summary: 2 Stars
Hinky open/shut mechanism. It takes persistence to get the latch to click correctly and open. If it weren't so heavy, I would've returned it long ago.Customer Review: Lock stopped working
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this a few months ago but haven't had the chance to use it until now so it sat in my office not being touched for a few months.
Today is the day that I finally needed to use it and the keys were still in the lock so I go to press the button and it doesnt open. So I take the keys out and put it back in, turn it a few times... still nothing. Maybe I am not pressing the button hard enough! So I try until my fingers hurt then got a hammer to push against the button... No luck. So I get a screw driver and use the hammer and start pounding my way in... few minutes later the front part of the lock busted off and I saw the hook that stopped working, unlatched it and opened it up.
One thing I learned a while ago, if you're going to invest in something, do it the right way and buy something with quality. I have had to learn this lesson too many times and unfortunately it is still trying to stick in my head.
Customer Review: Hinge disintegrates over time
Summary: 1 Stars
Beware. of this product. The hinges are made of a flimsy, unstable composite material (It looks like sawdust and glue). I have had this safe for a couple of years. I keep it on the floor because it is too heavy to leave on a table. I just use it to store papers and open it only occasionally. Recently the top right hinge disintegrated for no known reason. The bars that act as a hinge for the top cover appear to made of some composite material. One of the bars recently turned into a powder in a normal household environment. I would have thought the hinge would have been made from a stronger material such as metal. I need to replace the safe and I definitely won't buy from Sentry again. I notified their customer service but they didn't respond with an explanation as to why they used this material.Customer Review: hinges disintegrate over time - be warned.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had the same experience as another reviewer. After about two years (after the warrantee has expired) the material the hinges are made of has turned to dust, and the safe is useless. Initially Sentry Safe refused to take any responsibility, after more persistence they have agreed that they would replace it. Still it's a big heavy thing to be throwing in a landfill after two years. There is a design problem where the plastic extrusion does not correctly cover the hinge area so the concrete inner material is uncovered and soon turns to dust. I would not recommend buying this product.Customer Review: NO HANDLE AND A STRUGGLE TO CLOSE
Summary: 1 Stars
I BOUGHT THE HONEYWELL 2017 MODEL TO REPLACE AN OLD SENTRY PRODUCT THAT WASN'T WATERPROOF, AND IT WAS A GREAT DECISION. THE HONEYWELL IS LARGER AND THE SEAL CLOSES WITHOUT STRUGGLING. I MENTION THAT BECAUSE I WENT INTO STAPLES TO VIEW THE SIMILIAR SENTRY FIREPROOF/WATERPROOF SAFE, AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CLOSE AND THERE WAS NO HANDLE, WHICH IS REALLY STUPID. THE HONEYWELL OUTSHINES THE SENTRY PRODUCT BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. YOU WON'T BE SORRY. I LIVE IN NYC AND IT WAS DELIVED 2 DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE. $34.99 AND FREE SHIPPING IS LIKE STEALING SOMETHING FROM AMAZON.COM.
