Very reasonable peace of mind
By Matthew Arrington
Overall, I'm happy with this cabinet. One thing this cabinet really has going for it is the dearth of competition in this price range. For the price, it seems like a very worthy item. That said, for the price, I'd buy a scanner and go electronic before buying a second one. But I figure one is good, because having at least some physical files is inevitable.First, this cabinet is very heavy. It took 3 people at the store to move to my car, and I could only carry it a few feet at a time when I got it home. The weight appears to be due to the 2-3" thick fire insulation on all sides. The interior material looks like standard, thin sheet metal. But probably due to the heft, it doesn't rattle or clank. In fact, the drawers roll rather nicely. I'm not sure if the tracks will hold up (I'm afraid they might bend) but it's nice so far. It lets you pull both drawers out at the same time (very nice cabinets don't). However, I've done this (probably a bad idea!) with two full drawers and it didn't tip over.As you can imagine, that much insulation means the interior dimensions are significantly reduced. The drawer interiors are a hair under 12" wide and a tad over 18" long. It's tight - my hanging folders barely fit. If any papers stick out the folder edge, they won't even go in. And even then, the folders don't slide on the track.Security-wise: Remember that this is not a security safe. It's mostly to keep fire out, not people. It's got a very basic lock, and works by extending a metal bar from the lower drawer into both the upper drawer and into the case side. I'd bet it'd stay closed if it was dropped a couple feet. But, really, your security comes from someone being more interested in your consumer electronics than your papers.I can't comment on the actual fire protection. It says in the manual that the insulation expands in fire and seals all the openings, making the cabinet completely air-tight. I gather the thing is then ruined and needs to be cut open afterward. Another thing I've gathered from research - while this is a fine level of protection if live in a single family ranch home, you may want to reconsider if you live in something like a 5th floor apartment. The file is only rated for 1 hour in fire, and you have to worry about it breaking open in a fall.If I could change things, they'd be adding just a smidge to the drawer width, and possibly adding some folding handles.Finally, since I'm a conclusions-first kinda guy, I already said I like it. Now let's hope I never need it.

A good investment
By Boyd Baxter Buck
I bought these to replace ones that had gone through a fire. I had my photographs and negatives in them and all contents were fine.

Solid built, gliding drawers
By Greg Mueller
Fortunately, I have not seen the fireproof abilities first hand, however I looked at them onling at the Sentry Website. The safe requires 2 people to move because it is heavy and has no handles to move on the outside. It appears to be built well and the drawers glide easily. You can outfit it for Legal use by going to an office store and getting standard legal conversion rails. I was suprised to receive my safe 3 days after I ordered it, but this may not be typical.
