AMSEC FS914E5LP Residential Fire Safe

Very pleased with our purchase. Exactly what we were looking for in a personal safe. Compact and easy to set up and use. Highly recommend.

Good step-up from a sentry fire safe

The way I view this is it's the next step-up from an entry level home depot type sentry fire safe, with a similar size and weight but much better quality and security. It has a bit less official fire resistance rating at only one hour, but it is UL listed at 1 hour, has a fire seal around the door and Amsec is a quality manufacturer - so I'm not 100% convinced that in an actual fire it would do any worse than a Sentry model regardless of official rating. Definitely not a high security burglary safe but it's fairly solid, and again still an order of magnitude more secure than a Sentry. And I trust the electronic lock and locking mechanism on this one more from a reliability standpoint. It should be noted that the "feet" are rubber and easily unscrew if desired. You should do so if you want to keep it bolted closely to the floor, which will make prying it off the floor a little bit harder for a potential thief. Note that the shelf is not adjustable. You can remove it entirely, but the tabs that keep it in place are welded in, so you can either have no shelf (and tabs in the way) or a shelf about 3" from the top of the safe, those are the only two options. Finally you should note that it only allows one combination. For the money and the weight, this is a quality safe that does the job.

Rocks!

This safe rocks! Easy to use and very secure.
