   Sentry®Safe offers the best fire protection in the business. In fact we invented fire-resistant storage   containers more than 80 years ago. Our safes can withstand temperatures ranging from 1,150° F to 1,850    °F (843°C to 1010°C).  

 

     Underwriters Laboratory(UL) is an internationally-recognized independent testing firm.  UL tests are independent tests of Sentry®Safe Fire-Safe® products. For a product to earn a UL classification, the documents/items stored inside must remain completely undamaged after being subjected to ½ hour (1550°F / 843°C), 1 hour (1700°F / 927°C) or 2 hours (1850°F / 1010°C) of fire exposure. 6.jpg

 

   Only products with the Underwriters Laboratory(UL) mark have been tested to withstand these stringent conditions.

Different strength UL tests are required for paper, media and sensitive material storage. These tests, on top of the security that already comes with the Sentry®Safe brand name, provide the ultimate insurance that your possessions are safe from harm while inside a Sentry®Safe product.

 

   Sentry®Safe products also undergo ETL Semko testing. ETL Semko is also an internationally-recognized independent testing firm headquartered in the UK which verifies products are in compliance with the manufacturer's specifications for fire endurance.
