Sentrysafe UL-Fire Testing

Safe Fire & Water Ratings 101

It’s easy to be fooled if you don’t know what to look for in a safe’s fire rating. Familiarizing yourself with UL and ETL standards helps you better understand what it takes to keep your valuables protected.

30-seconds-2000x600

It's important to ensure fire protection claims are certified by a qualified party

Not all safes that claim to be "fireproof" or "fire protected" are the same. That's why standards were created and organizations like UL and ETL work to test and certify product claims so consumers can trust the products that they are buying.

Fire-UL-Logo

UL Fire Rating (Fire Resistance)

Fire resistance ratings are mainly determined by a product’s ability to endure two factors: time and temperature. During a Fire Endurance test, items like paper are put inside the safe, then heat is applied to the outside to quickly raise the temperature to up to 1850°F to simulate real-world burn conditions. To receive the highest UL rating, the internal temperature cannot exceed 350°F for the duration of the specified test. The time and temperature will vary depending on the certification.

UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories and is an independent, nonprofit testing lab for consumer, commercial, and industrial products. UL is globally recognized and considered the gold standard for testing and certification of product claims, largely because they created the standards. Safes that have been certified by UL are of the highest quality and offer the highest level of fire protection available, meaning your safe can withstand high temperatures for an extended period of time.

ETL-Logo-Water

ETL Verified (Water Resistance)

When people think of waterproof safes, the first thing that often comes to mind is flooding. But it’s important to remember that if your house experiences a fire, there could be significant water from sprinkler systems or fire hoses that could damage your valuables if your safe is not rated for water protection.

ETL Verified is a product verification mark (issued by Intertek) that is used to ensure manufacturers meet their own internal test requirements. Organizations seek an ETL verification for specific claims, like water testing, where there isn’t an existing standardized test. ETL verified waterproof products are vigorously tested to remain dry even through extreme exposure to water for up to 72 hours. So, even if you’re away from your home during times of peril, you can be confident your valuables are safe.

explosion-warning-location

UL Explosion Hazard Testing

While fire damage is the primary concern in a house or business fire, there are other residual effects that can be just as damaging to your safe. If a safe is stored on a second floor, there’s a chance that it could fall through the floor if the structure becomes unstable from fire damage, so it needs to be able to withstand that impact. Likewise, explosions are another source of potential damage for a safe. That’s why fire rated safes also undergo impact and explosion tests as part of UL testing. Be sure to look for these certifications on your safe.

Drop-Tested

UL Impact Resistance Testing

UL impact resistance testing: During an impact test, a safe is heated to the same time and temperatures used in the Fire Endurance test, then dropped from a height of 15 feet*. To receive a UL certification, the safe must remain intact without opening or sustaining significant damage.

*Applies to SentrySafe 2-hour fire safes only

Lots of room!
5 Stars
Lots of room!
I actually bought this for a friend. It arrived yesterday he loves it. He is mainly using it for paperwork. There is plenty of room. He had a 12 inch lock box before that was way overloaded. This holds all he had in there and there is quite a bit extra room still. It’s very heavy. No one is going to easily walk off with it and it can be bolted to the floor. Took a few practice tries with the key to get it right(a little different than the directions). Definitely a great price especially with Amazon free shipping. I may actually pick one up for myself. Seems very sturdy and not a bad looking safe. Hopefully he never needs to worry about it being fireproof.

I have purchased several safes in the past from Sentry. The safest are always of the highest quality and I have complete confidence in these safes. I truly prefer the hand combination safes versus the digital as there is never an issue with a mechanical digital failure. This safe also has a second security with a key. Water tight and fireproof. Perfect for a home safe and will keep your valuables safe in the event of a fire or water damaging occurrence. Highly recommend this safe.

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2012
Size: 1.23 cu.ft.Style: 1-Hr. Fireproof, Combination, Bolt-DownPattern Name: SafeVerified Purchase
I was thrilled to see my safe delivered in my garage when it arrived. The first thing I noticed was how hard it was going to be to move the safe where I wanted it to be placed; it needed two people and one of those fork lift things that the ups workers use (dont laugh, im not savvy.)

After getting it to its destination I opened it up (upside down, but thats my fault) and the vault was already unlocked, but it a closed manner, and had all of the paperwork (lifetime warranty, readme, license, etc) in the box but outside of the safe. The code for the safe comes on a sticker on the back of the readme booklet and it CANNOT BE CHANGED.(The company states that this can be a benefit to the user if you choose to register your safe with the company; they can retrieve your code) It also comes with two keys, the keys do not override the combination lock, only adds another layer of security (which I enjoy).

Also, I would like to take some time to explain a CON that most people would complain about that I'd like to bring to justice a little bit.. The hinge for the safe is on the outside of the container as you can see on the picture, however the hinge is very solid and bolted together on both ends, it would take a mass amount of force to break the seal off of the hinges also. But lets say that an intruder DOES break the hinge off; the way the indentions inside of the safe are made, you will not be able to pull the lid off of the same without being able to close the metal bars of the door, which will not happen without the key or code (or both) if it is locked.

Safe was also made possible to bolt into the floor and it comes with the bolts and nuts to do it, but I find it unnecessary.. it will be hard enough getting it out the door.. I suggest putting the safe under a desk, shelf, or under some items that can add to the complexion of removing your safe. (Adding 30 pounds of items into your safe will already change the weight to over 120 lbs)

PROS: Heavy, very secure, change-able shelf racks, dual security feature, keyring hangers, waterproof, fireproof, worth the price, comes with one absorbent pouch which will last for a while.

CONS: Cheap inner shelf (Not for things over 15-20 pounds), password cannot be changed*, may sit unevenly**

*The company (Sentry Safe) states that the code cannot be changed and it for YOUR security, just in case you lost your password they can send you your code or key again.. if your like me your questioned reasoning and security behind this, but hear me out.. In order for you to get another copy of your code/keys you have to fill out a form that they send you (originally, with the safe) and you have to fill it out entirely, giving your first/last name, address, and all the usual stuff, and also your unique ID number for your safe.. Well that happens to be located inside your safe and on the sticker with your password on it, so if you wish, you could keep it a secret or even destroy the ID number so not even the company who designed the safe will be able to tell what code/key you need. Hope that clarifies questions.

**I also believe I have an uneven floor, but I've read another guy's review stating the same thing.. I just slipped the package of screws they gave me under the corner.

VERDICT: I love my safe, Im sure they're are better and more secure beasts, but for the money you CANT beat it, it gets the job done.

Hope I've helped,
Cheers!

Size: 1.23 cu.ft.Style: 1-Hr. Fireproof, Combination, Bolt-DownPattern Name: SafeVerified Purchase
After researching various home safe options, I settled on this 1.23 cubic foot SentrySafe model. Right out of the box, its heft immediately instills confidence - this thing is built like a tank.

Installation took some muscle since it weighs 86 lbs, but the included instructions made bolting it down straightforward. Once secured, I felt reassured knowing it meets rigorous fire and waterproof testing standards.

Setting up the combination was easy enough. I appreciate having the backup override key too for redundancy. The robust lock mechanism with live-locking bolts seems incredibly pry-resistant.

With the safe ready to go, I started transferring important documents, USB backups, passports, and family heirlooms into the roomy interior. The single shelf helps keep things organized nicely.

What provides peace of mind is knowing the contents are protected from fire for up to an hour at 1700°F. The waterproof rating up to 8 inches is reassuring too after seeing footage of homes flooded.

Overall, this mid-sized safe from SentrySafe seems like it will securely safeguard my most vital possessions for years to come. The quality construction and straightforward security features make it simple to have that protection. Definitely money well spent for preparedness.

The combination lock seems a little wonky, but works fine. No problems at all. It is exactly as described, and I feel safer having important papers etc. locked in it. We did not bolt it down, but I don't believe anyone is going to pick it up and carry it away. Would definately buy again.

It's good to have a safe place for important papers and to have someone who can take care of your affairs if you are incapacitated (make sure to give that person has your combination and be sure you can trust them). A safe is less expensive and roomier than a bank box. And you can take it if you move, although you may need a hefty dolly...

Combination to safe didn't work, so a return as defective was authorized. They arranged for a pickup, picked it up, and issued a refund within a few days. While I was waiting for that return, I ordered the same safe from the same seller, and got one which works just fine. It's close to perfect, except that it has a plastic handle which seems like it can be easily broken off if the wrong person finds the safe and attempts to break in. Sentry safe 18 X 24 X 18 inches. It's also too heavy for an average person to pick up and walk away with, especially if it has anything inside it.

Es una caja resistente. Al abrirla, tenía una abolladura grande. Pero como no afecta su funcionamiento, decidí quedármela y no hacer el reclamo. Saludos

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality - Lock wouldnt open properly, lock and handle made of plastic, moisture issues!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 29, 2024
Size: 2.05 cu.ft.Style: 1-Hr. Fireproof, Combination, Bolt-DownPattern Name: SafeVerified Purchase
Delivered but after half a dozen attempts to open it, it would not open reliably and required pushing the handle, which gave a number of unpleasant sound plastic clicking noises and was extremely difficult to lock or unlock - the mechanism itself was partially jammed or wasnt aligned to the right combination.

Phoned the manufacturer who instructed me to dissassemble the rear front of the safe (it was clearly a very common problem!) revealing it was indeed entirely a plastic locking assembly..!

Utter unreliable piece of junk, on top of which was the apparent moisture problems
(I was planning on storing my camera in there, as per their photos!)

Trying to return it can be a nightmare also - as you need the original packing material, and I doubt even batman could get this safe out without ripping apart the packaging materials totally!

Just Avoid!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Safe
Reviewed in Canada on December 12, 2020
Size: 1.23 cu.ft.Style: 1-Hr. Fireproof, Combination, Bolt-DownPattern Name: SafeVerified Purchase
Love this safe!
My wife and I needed a safe place for important documents and whatnot.
This safe is exactly that. Super heavy, can bolt down if you dont need water tightness. Not sure how it would work with fire
Surprisingly spacious inside, but wouldnt be useful for anything other than small items like jewelry, documents, cash, etc
The dial works great and so does the key. I like how you need to have both in order to open the safe. Makes it way more secure.
Only downside to me is the plastic handle. But besides that everything else works great.
Cant speak on the fire rating because we havent needed it just yet. But based on the thickness of the walls, im gonna guess that your stuff would be pretty safe in case of a fire

Arrived as described. The only minor point wild be the rotational lock seems to "stick" or "grind" a bit on occasion, otherwise really happy with the purchase.
