The Honeywell 1101 Small Fireproof Security Chest is a compact, portable lockbox designed to protect small valuables like passports and digital media from fire damage. It features UL-certified 30-minute fireproof protection up to 1550°F, double-wall plastic construction, and a keyed privacy lock. Ideal for users prioritizing mobility and basic fire security over large capacity or water resistance.
The SentrySafe CHW30220 is a compact, portable document safe featuring UL-classified fire protection and ETL-verified waterproofing. It offers solid steel construction and hanging file compatibility, making it ideal for organizing essential papers. However, its basic key lock and limited capacity make it unsuitable for high-security needs or bulk storage.

Professional reviewers and editors praise the SentrySafe FPW082KSB and CHW20221 for their verified UL fire and ETL water protection ratings, noting their effectiveness for disaster preparedness. They highlight the product's portability, solid steel construction, and versatility for storing documents or small valuables. However, experts consistently note that these models are not intended for high-security burglary protection, as the locks are basic and the units are not rated against tool attacks.
Everyday consumers generally praise the safe for its heavy, solid build and effectiveness in protecting documents and small items. Users appreciate the hanging file compatibility and the convenience of the carrying handle for emergency evacuation. Recurring complaints focus on the limited interior space for larger items and the perception that the key lock provides only basic deterrence against unauthorized access rather than robust security.
