Fireproof safe

[buckle97]

What is everyone here using for a residential fireproof safe?
I need to get a safe to hold documents and other small items. I am only trying to protect against fire and not burglars. Are the Sentry safes from Office Depot any good? Where do I buy a quality safe? What is a good fire rating, 2 hours?

Thanks,
Lawrence

We used one of those for years until we bought a fireproof gun safe and now use it.

I have several safes. Most of mine have a 1 or 2 hour rating. Protectall, Meilink Hercules, Victor, Stack- On (gun safe), Rosengrens, and Fire King. Too bad you are so far away as I have 3 of them for sale.

I have the Sentry model S3110 that I bought 6 years ago at Walmart for $128.96 plus tax.

Cover yourself on both ends: safe deposit box at your local bank. It's cheap insurance. Have you seen how thick those doors are?

Just remember to place it low, on the floor is the best. The heat is FAR FAR FAR less down low than on a top shelf if there is a fire. Also if the less expensive safes fall (say the shelf burns) they often break open thus making it kindle.
