SentrySafe SFW123DSB Gray
Score: 82/100Rankings
The SentrySafe SFW123DSB is a medium-sized fireproof and waterproof safe featuring a mechanical dial combination for reliable, battery-free access. Its main trade-off is the slower access time compared to digital locks and the heavy weight. It is ideal for users who prioritize certified fire and water protection without relying on electronics.
The First Alert 2037F is a compact, steel file chest designed for home or office use, offering 0.62 cubic feet of storage capacity with UL-rated fire and waterproof protection. It features a built-in handle for portability and is compatible with hanging file folders. However, its weight and limited capacity are trade-offs for users needing larger storage or frequent movement. It is ideal for individuals needing portable protection for documents and media in limited spaces.
