Bottom line

Reviewers say the SentrySafe SFW123GTC Electronic LED Lock Executive Safe offers the right combination of storage space and security, making it our Best Reviewed fireproof safe. Many owners say it's compact enough to fit in small spaces, bulky enough to deter thieves and loaded with desirable features such as a dual-locking system and interior LED light. While a few users report moisture problems or find the handle flimsy, most agree that it's a standout performer for the money.

Performance

Does the job well. The SentrySafe SFW123GTC is widely considered a sturdy, effective product. Aaron Rowe, writing for Wired, says its insulated steel frame and 1-inch-thick bolts will protect valuables from crowbars or fire. In addition, it can be anchored to the floor for extra security. The SFW123GTC is UL classified for one hour of fire protection with impact, and ETL verified for impact resistance in a 15-foot drop test. It is also ETL verified for one hour of fire protection up to 1,700 degrees, as well as for water resistance. On the con side, one owner reports mold on stored items.

Features

Dual lock provides extra security. Users applaud the SentrySafe SFW123GTC's dual-locking system, saying that the combination of electronic and key locks provides extra security. In addition, one owner praises the system's flexibility, noting that it offers the choice of using just the electronic lock or the electronic and key locks together. Reviewers also like the interior LED light and in-door storage compartments. Still, one user complains that there should be more shelves or drawers, and Aaron Rowe, reviewing the model for Wired, finds the handle "flimsy." The unit comes with a one-year limited warranty and a lifetime guarantee for after-fire replacement.

Space

Not too large, not too small. Aaron Rowe speaks for many when he reports that the SentrySafe SFW123GTC is "deceptively roomy," adding that it's broad enough for a tablet to lie flat.  Similarly, several owners praise its size -- although one complains that some documents need to be folded to fit. The unit's exterior is roughly 16 inches wide, 19 inches deep and 18 inches high. It weighs 90 pounds, which many users say is heavy enough to deter thieves from trying to steal it, and its interior measures 1.23 cubic feet. It comes with a multi-position tray.
