Review: if you can find it on sale, this is actually a pretty good product - ok, so it's pretty obvious to anyone doing the same research i did, that you're just not gonna find a great safe over 1 cubic foot for $200 or less. i hemmed and hawed about the desertcart listings for a good couple weeks, and checked around to other similar sites before settling on this safe. the reason i bought this one isn't because it stood out as being a higher quality, more user-friendly product. i bought this one because it was temporarily on sale for a huge discount. the regular price was down to $217, and there was also a $50 off coupon offered directly within the listing. that made the price for this safe a whopping $167! about the product. there are several other reviews here that touch on all the various features and faults of the safe, and for the most part i agree with them. however, i do have opinions to add on a couple things. first, the keypad combo lock. i was a bit disappointed that this doesn't come with an actual key for manual override in the event of battery failure, but this problem is resolved with externally-accessible batteries. now, if the keypad physically fails, you're up the creek. however, a mechanical dial can physically fail as well (more on that later) so i'm not letting this fault bother me. second, the lock and handle build quality. many people have complained that they feel the handle "feels cheap" or light or like flimsy plastic. i have to say, it's no worse than many other low dollar safes i've used in the past. yes, it's plastic and light. but as long as you're not trying to move the safe around by tugging on the handle, you shouldn't have any problems with it. finally, moisture. when i first opened my new safe, all the paperwork was wavy and moist. this is apparently a well-known issue with many fire safes, because there's some kind of liquid used to saturate the lining in the safe walls. this liquid releases moisture into the interior of the safe, which can damage documents or other moisture-sensitive items. i found that the easiest way to fix this problem is to throw in some kind of dehumidifying product. i opted for the Eva-dry Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer because it isn't too big, it's rechargeable, and its warranty is measured by the decade. i threw it in the safe with some cash and paperwork, and everything has stayed dry as can be for the two months i've had the safe. oh, i almost forgot about the mechanical dial failure anecdote. i have an older sentry safe at my bar (it actually came with the bar) and it has a mechanical dial. the darn thing broke while the safe was open! i'm not sure if a bartender mashed the dial or handle or what, but something inside the door jumped out of track and left the handle frozen in the unlock position. it took me a good hour of taking the door apart from the inside to get to the problem and fix it. it is for this reason that i chose the keypad lock over the mechanical dial. i've seen the inside of the mechanical dial locks on sentry safes, and they just don't impress me. yeah, there are much better safes on the market. but probably not for less than $200. i'm happy with this safe because it does what i need it to do, and it didn't cost an arm/leg combo to get it. if you see it go on sale, and you're having trouble deciding which safe to buy, i have to say you probably won't be disappointed with this one. i know i'm very happy with mine!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much cash will it hold? Will it hold $5M in stacks of 100 $100 bills ($10,000)?**
A: I could only fit $4.9M. Unfortunately, it falls a bit short. I'd recommend printing $500 bills  to fit all $5M

**Q: does it bolt to the floor or the wall?**
A: The way these safes are listed on Amazon is somewhat convoluted, and the answers do not necessarily line up to the model you are considering.  For model SFW123FUL, which I just received, it can be bolted to the floor but it DOES NOT come with the hardware included.  You must purchase the hardware separately.  However the screws, washers, and anchors needed to bolt this safe to a floor are very inexpensive and can be found at any big-box home improvement store.  It was the rep from Sentry Safe who told me what specific parts I need, and he came on the line in less than a minute: 2 lag screws measuring 3/8" x 4", 2 washers, and 2 masonry anchors (I'm bolting down to a concrete slab).  So, annoying that Amazon does not clearly distinguish what one model of safe comes with vs another, but due credit to Sentry's customer service.

**Q: What happens if the batteries go dead? Can you replace them from the outside?**
A: Amazon Basics Steel Home Security Safe with Programmable Keypad - Secure Documents, Jewelry, Valuables - 1.8 Cubic Feet, 13.8 x 13 x 19.7 Inches, Black

My battery is dead, can you please show me how to replace it?

**Q: Are the shelves removable?**
A: Yes the shelves are removable and adjustable. The safe only comes with one shelf but you can purchase add'l ones if you need multiple shelves.
