A very nice little safe,
I originally purchased the Honeywell 0.6 Cubic Foot safe, but returned it because the locking mechanism was junk. The Sentry is more expensive, but much better constructed and looks nicer, too. Also, unlike the Honeywell, you don’t need to use a key in addition to the combination lock when you open the safe. Just enter your combination and turn the latch. There is an emergency override key that only needs to be used if the batteries go dead. The safe is pre-drilled so it can be bolted from the bottom or back (or both). Due to its small size, this safe should definitely be bolted to something — it would be way too easy for someone to carry off.
As mentioned in another review, it may sometimes be difficult to pull open the relatively heavy door because of the small & slippery surface area of the knob. I cut a couple of small pieces of velcro tape (the rougher of the two strips) and stuck them on the sides of the knob, which allows me to grip it much easier.
The original product description said there is a removable shelf, but there is no shelf, removable or otherwise. They appear to have revised their description, but I’m leaving this note in the review just in case it’s still mentioned and I missed it.

|Just what we needed,
This is a major university setting and we needed a secure means for locking up A/V equipment (laptop and LCD projector) for one of our conference rooms often used well after normal closing time.
Selecting the Sentry Safe X105 met our needs. The safe is large enough to handle a projo and laptop along with accessories. It can be unlocked and left that way so that the conference personnel can restore and secure the items they’ve checked out without having to have the combination.
Lots of good ways to secure this safe including a nice hidden cable system. There are mounting holes in the bottom that we used to anchor it down to the bottom sturdy shelf of a counter cabinet. So the vault is not only anchored well, it is also out-of-sight inside of a storage cabinet.
Nicely made device – better than expected – and good value too.

|Only buy if you can modify, easily opened in less than 5 seconds,
I bought this as a theft deterrent. Well after looking at it and reading online, I discovered it can be opened WITHOUT tools in less than 5 seconds. That’s anti theft? I modified mine for mounting before realizing this, so no returns. I wasn’t going to tell without having a solution, maybe Sentry will change the design. Take your fist and hit the front door strongly above the knob at a 45 degree angle downward, at the same time turning the knob. Open in less time than to enter to code. Pityfull!
I fixed it by glueing a 3/4 inch round magnet on the lock bar just above the electric solenoid, half off over the bar to the solenoid. You may have to try different magnets to get the right strength, but the first one I tried worked, so maybe not so critical. The magnet keeps the solenoid bar from falling so easily. But, a large hammer may still be a problem, didn’t try.
Sentry, modify the design.
