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 Yale Medium Electronic Guest Safe (Y-MS0000NFP) is a standard security safe designed for rental properties, featuring guest access with customizable PINs and a master code for staff. It is accredited under the Police Preferred Specification scheme and comes with a 2-year warranty. However, the listed weight is unusually low, and it lacks fireproof ratings.
