Security with Sentry Safes
All of us have important documents and valuable possessions that may not be replaceable. You can never re-create baby photos and wedding pictures. Passports, diplomas, and birth certificates can take months of paperwork and processing to replace. What about family heirlooms and jewelry? Are your firearms safe from landing in the wrong hands? Don’t let another day go by without the peace of mind that these items are protected by a Sentry Safe. Choosing a safe for your home or office may seem like a simple job, but not all safes are the same. Sentry Safe is the world leader in fire resistant safes with new advances such as Flood Guard water resistant protection. With a Sentry Safe, you can be sure that your belongings are protected and secure.
No one is ever really prepared for events that can challenge our security. Give yourself a head start by planning for the unexpected:
- Fire: In 2005, residential fires caused nearly $7 billion in property damage. Don’t let your most valuable belongings or irreplaceable documents be destroyed. During a fire you will be primarily concerned about the safety of yourself and your family. You can be assured your Sentry Safe Combination Safe with Fire Protection or the Fire - Safe Fire Box is protecting your photos, documents, and valuables. A Sentry Safe provides up to five times the protection of an ordinary insulated box.
- Theft: There is a burglary in the United Sates every 14.7 seconds. In 2005, burglaries accounted for 21.2 percent of property crimes, with over 2 million burglaries, an increase from the previous year. Sentry Safe offers various sizes of Security Safes with options such as Electronic Locks that will protect your valuables from this intrusive crime. The feeling of violation is overwhelming after a burglary, and the loss of your valuables adds to the devastation. Whether you are protecting your home or office, a Sentry Safe is an important part of your security system.
- Gun Safety: The rate of firearm deaths among kids under 15 is almost 12 times higher in the U.S. than in 25 other industrial countries combined. Too often, guns are not stored properly and end up in the wrong hands. A Sentry Safe Gun Safe with Fire Protection will protect your firearms and ensure they are out of the hands of children. A child as old as three has the strength to pull the trigger on a gun. Give yourself and your family peace of mind knowing that your Sentry Safe is keeping your gun out of harm’s way.
About Sentry Safes
Sentry Safes began as a small, family-run business during the Great Depression. By adhering to a simple formula—innovative engineering to create quality products at an affordable price—the company excelled in the business of manufacturing safes. After 75 years, Sentry Safes has become a global provider, producing more fire-resistant chests, files, safes, security storage containers and gun safes than any other company in the world. Despite this expansive presence, Sentry Safes is still a family-owned business, providing the same innovative, first-rate, affordable products that paved the way in the 1930’s.
Sentry Safes doesn’t just provide secure storage containers: they provide peace of mind. As a family-run business, Sentry Safes knows what your priorities are when your security is threatened.

Sentry Safes in a Fire
Sentry Safes offers a full line of Fire-Safe products. These products have been tested rigorously to ensure the interior remains below 350° F during a typical fire. Sentry Safes is a pioneer in advances in technology and engineering. Their innovation has made it possible for products to be rated for ½, 1, or 2 hours of proven fire protection. Your fire safe from Sentry Safes will be either UL or ETL certified, depending on your choice.
Sentry Safes use a patented insulation to protect the contents of the safe during a fire. This insulation releases moisture during a fire to keep the Sentry Safes’ interior below the temperature at which paper burns. Even with this extra protection, your Sentry Safe still has the format of a traditional safe, interior organizational options, and several operational features.
