SentrySafe began in Rochester, New York, in 1930 and is credited with the first fire-resistant safe for ordinary homes. Family owned until 2014, it went to The Master Lock Company for $117.5 million, with sales near $150 million a year and plants in Rochester and Cannelton, Indiana. Products reach more than 54 countries: fire and water chests, security files, biometric pistol safes. Fire models carry UL endurance ratings that keep the interior below 350°F, and a registered safe earns a free replacement after a fire.
Sensible for a household that wants papers, drives and jewelry to survive a fire, and easy to buy, since Home Depot, Costco, Walmart and Amazon all stock the line. Buyers worried about thieves should read the labels: most models are fire rated, not burglary rated, and the walls are thin sheet steel. Bolt heavy units down, keep the override key handy, change batteries yearly.
