The SFT-52EN is a new addition to our WALL SAFES. The SFT-52EN is designed for easy installation in a standard 4 inch deep wall. You’ll simply cut out the drywall between 2 wall studs and the safe gets attached to the studs through pre-drilled holes inside the safe. The SFT-52EN has heavy gauge steel plate construction and easy to use electronic lock with manual key operated override.

The FS-B4 has a Group II combination lock. It also has a Drill Resistant hard plate. Drill resistant hard plate: This is a plate of hardened steel. Meaning that you can’t go to the hardware store and purchase a drill and drill bit that will drill through this stuff. As a matter of fact, you can’t even scratch the surface with a normal drill bit. The FS-B4 also has 1/2″ solid steel door, 1/4″ solid steel body, (3) 3/4″ chrome plated solid steel locking bolts, and spring loaded hinges.

Remember a floor safe like the FS-B4 gets its burglary proof from the door (drill resistant hard plate) and the rest is surrounded by concrete.

You may have heard the generic term sentry safe.  Well Sentry safe is actually the brand name of a line of safes that are so popular that the term has become generic.  Sentry Safe has been a world-leader in the manufacture of safes for 75 years.  They manufacture safes is all sizes and shapes, for home and business use.   They have a full line of gun safes, as well as special media safes for protecting valuable computer backup data.  They offer fire and burglary proof safes in a broad price range.

If you are considering the purchase of a safe, you should definitely look at the Sentry lineup - it includes something for every budget and the quality and reputation of the company can’t be beat.  One of their most popular types of safes is a small chest-style safe that can easily slip underneath a bed.  It is primarily designed to protect valuable documents from fire and water damage.  These are the safes that the generic term sentry safe is most often applied to.  For more information on the sentry safe.

I’m gonna write a bit on Honeywell Safes for the next week or so..however, some of it may seem more like ranting and raving.  So lets start with a bit of history. Who in the world is Honeywell Safes? I’ll tell you.

Sisco manufacturing is the liscense holder for Honeywell Safes.  Before Honeywell they held the liscense to sell Brinks Safes.  I’m not sure what happened between them but Honeywell has steped up and offered it name for a fee.  Honeywell has also informed us that they have made a complete quality check and tour of the manufacture facility in Tiawan. (Sounds more like a vacation when I first heard about it..but who knows). Please note that Tiawan is owned by China. The manufacture standards are a little better in Tiawan than in China for similar safes. 

Most of the Honeywell Safes will do just what they say they will do.  If you purchase a $60 metal safe and bolt it down to your shelf. You will get $60 worth of protection. Its that whole “You Get What You Pay For” thing.  None are what would be catagorised as “high security”.  The 2 hour commercial safes are good protection against fire and are considered pry resistant doors.  But none are technically rated against burglary.  However, they do make a line of gun safes that do meet the CDOJ (California Dept. Of Justice) rating for a security container for guns.  Please note that the CDOJ is a minimum type rating and not a UL type rating such as B-Rated Safe.

Overall I would rate Honeywell Safes as better than a Sentry Safe. But still would consider it of introductory level of safes for the home use or light commercial usage.  Best to remeber, you get what you pay for when it comes to Honeywell Safes. If it seems really cheap to purchase….well, use your head or call who you are wanting to purchase it from to make sure its what you need.  Don’t just buy it because its affordable.  Buy it because its what you need.  This way you won’t be dissapointed.
