This product is terrible. The manufacturing company obviously does not even both to check if the safe works properly before sending it out, no quality control at all.
After entering the code. The box will NOT unlock using the code if the key is in the locked position, like it is supposed to.
With the key in the locked position and after entering the correct code the dial button to unlock it will NOT move all the way to the unlocked position, thus the box will NOT open...the locking tab within the box does NOT disengage as it should...this would have easily been noticed if SentrySafe gave a crap about anything but profits.
This defeats the entire purpose of a keypad and code...the keypad unit itself is very cheaply made and of the poorest material.
I tried to force the dial to the unlock position with the key in lock and after entering the proper code and getting the green light indicating correct code entered, and it broke with very little force added. Now it just spins around and does nothing, the box will not open at all now even with the key.
When the key was turned to the unlock position the dial button moved easily to the unlock position and the box opened just fine, but this does NOT require a code to be entered, thus this is NO security at all, anyone can open the box.

Totally USELESS!! I hate companies that just waste resources!
this safe can be opened with a paperclip!!!!
The metal design is Poor! bad weld jobs on the inside.
Do NOT waste your money, I would not pay $10 for this... only good thing would be for the kids to keep their "treasures". at least I know it can be opened easily.

This is the second SentrySafe I have purchased for my College bound kids - fits their 15" laptop and a bunch of other stuff too - cable is a good deterrent.
