Sentry Safe Big Bolt, Dad of Divas ReviewAbout the Safe

SentrySafe, the world leader in residential and small office security-storage containers, today announced the launch of their new steel FIRE-SAFE product. Designed to protect digital media, documents, jewelry and other valuables from fire, water and theft, these new safes have 60% bigger bolts than traditional safes, a full-length pry-resistant hinge bar to provide additional security against unauthorized access and improved lock technology to make authorized access easier.

 

“Our new FIRE-SAFE products provide unparalleled, valuable protection,” said Greg Bonsib, SentrySafe director of marketing. “Our consumers asked for a better safe with increased protection that was easier to use and that is just what we are providing.”

 

The assortment of new safes (MSRP $199-$299) have four large, one-inch bolts in the door, and they may be bolted to the floor – providing optimal security against unauthorized removal. They are UL Classified for one hour fire endurance up to 1700°F to protect documents, records and valuables; ETL Verified for one hour fire protection of CDs, DVDs, memory sticks and USB drives; ETL Verified water resistance up to 8 inches for 24 hours; and ETL Verified to pass a 15 foot/4.5 meter drop test to ensure contents remain intact and locked upon impact.

Models come with a range of different internal organization features, which include a locking drawer to provide additional privacy or a multi-position shelf for easy organization or a tray for quick access of your items. Select models feature bright, LED interior lighting for quick, easy access to belongings.

 

Starting August 1, the Big Bolt series can be found at The Home Depot, BJ’s, Sam’s Club, Walmart, and Target. For more information about products and availability, visit www.SentrySafe.com.

My Take on the Safe
As a father I am always looking for ways in which I can provide safety for my family. Whether that is through physical presence or in finding ways to safeguard our valuables I always keep this in the back of my mind. It is not that we live in a dangerous area or that we have a lot of crime around our home, but I know that there are people that do not have as much regard for other people’s items as they should and would rather take instead of earn things that they want. With that in mind I was excited to try out this safe. We had a small safe in the past and this safe was so much larger and more secure. I made a video to talk about my thoughts on the Safe itself. Please watch and let me know your thoughts!
