There are many things that people don’t know about safes, but what you can do when your safe won’t open always remains the same. You need to know what to do to get back inside your locked safe.

Of the Sentry safes I have inspected I would only give them a $2000 cash rating ( by that I mean only suitable to protect valuables to a maximum of $2000 ).When a safe won’t open, it could be for any number of reasons. A safe with a $5,000 cash rating is much easier to crack open than one with a $40,000 rating. In the safe industry we often rate a safes strength by a “cash rating” index.Ī safes cash rating is simply a measure of how hard or easy a safe to open. I was moved to do this Sentry safe review after viewing one of these reviews who endorsed the safe as being secure. Usually without ANY experience in the law enforcement or security arena. Sentry safes are very easy to “breach” or break into, and I am amazed how many unqualified people do video reviews. A fire rating or fire resistance can be measured and then is usually written on the safe somewhere. This is known as a safes “fire rating or fire resistance”. As a result the safes we sell must state how long they will protect from fire and up to what temperature. In the safe industry we are not allowed to make false or misleading statements as the ACCC has big fines. Sure they may survive for 30 or 55 minutes but if a fire is intense enough or long enough these cheap safes won’t protect the contents. The first thing to point out is they are NOT fireproof. I Have seen Sentry safes in the field for around 15 years and have not come across any “old ones” which is a tell tale in itself. These safes are pitched mainly to the domestic market and are small in size. Bunnings and Masters sell these almost exclusively. In this Sentry safe review I will be looking at Sentry safes specifically. With a little digging around you can usually work out what real and what is fictional. The internet is great, its so easy to find out about all types of things.
