Peril Protection


Our safes are designed to protect your valuables and important items from some of life's greatest and most unexpected dangers, including fire, water, and burglars.

A certificate issued by an internationally-recognized independent testing and certification agency is the gold standard that proves that a product offers the best protection for your valuables and important documents.

We offer products that have certificates from the reputable agencies below, and have passed strict testing procedures:

Our other safes have been rigorously tested by and are certified by the manufacturer to meet international standards.


Description of Image

Every single fire-rated Sentry®Safe product is certified by either UL, Intertek or RISE, which makes them the best in the business.

The remaining safes with fire protection claims have been rigorously tested by and are certified by the manufacturer to meet international standards.

Fire-rated safes are issued fire protection ratings; what do these mean?

½ HR, 1 HR and 2 HR fire ratings indicate how long the internal temperature of the safe stays at 350oF or below during a real fire situation. At this temperature, paper and valuables remain undamaged by heat and fire.

Certain Sentry®Safe products are certified for added fire protection for digital media, which means that in a real fire, the inside of the safe remains even cooler to protect sensitive data.

In addition, certain products are also ETL Verified to withstand a 15 foot/4.5 meter drop during a fire, and stay closed. This is especially important for safes that are located on an upper floor; floorboards may collapse during a fire, and the safe may fall to the ground as a result.

All our fire-rated safes come with a Lifetime After Fire Replacement Guarantee. Zenorex Marketing Corporation will replace any safe that that is damaged by fire that still belongs to the original owner.

Water can cause severe damage to valuables and important documents. All Sentry®Safe products that offer water protection have the ETL mark issued by Intertek as being either waterproof when submerged for up to 72 hours, or water-resistant up to 24 hours in 8 inches of water. This is proven protection that you can rely on.

Our safes help set your mind at ease that your valuables are secure. We offer various levels of security.

Certified Security – TITAN ELITE safes offer the highest level of security, where the safe has been tested and certified to pass strict international standards.

PRO Models: All PRO Series safes maintain a Security Level S1 certificate from ECB-S (The European Certification Body GmbH) to withstand attacks by tools like an electric drill and crowbar for a specified amount of time; PRO safes also feature S1-certified locks.

LUX Models: These safes are manufacturer-certified to pass UL (Underwriters Laboratory) 1037 Standard Security Level I.

Maximum – For maximum protection these safes offer 2-4 live-locking bolts, solid steel construction and pry-resistant hinge bars to help provide additional protection from forced entry. Select models include dead bolts, anti-drill door and loud audible alarm for unauthorized access attempts.

High – Solid-steel construction, pry-resistant door/body and heavy duty locks provide higher protection against tool attacks. Many models are California DOJ certified for firearm storage and protection.

Moderate – Durable, solid-steel construction and a tether cable provide moderate protection against brief attacks.

Basic – Privacy key lock deters unwanted access and is not intended for tool attacks.

Lock Type


We offer different types of lock that each offer different levels of security, each with its own unique set of advantages.

A key lock offers fundamental security, and can simply be opened by a key. Security levels depend on the type of key; types of keys are flat keys, tubular keys, dimple keys, 4-bitted keys, 6-lever and 8-lever keys. Different types of keys offer varying degrees of security.

A mechanical combination lock uses the reliable tumbler technology that has been the standard for over a hundred years.

PROS
Long-lasting if well-maintained
Cheaper than electronic lock
CONS
More involved to open (dial has to be turned a certain way)
Only one combination available
Typically, combination cannot be changed, except on select models (e.g. changeable combination type locks)
Electronic locks are activated by the current supplied by batteries. The lock is typically opened by a code that is input into a keypad.

PROS
Easy, quick access
Typically can store multiple access codes
Versatile: can have added functionality like time delay, alarms, lock disable – see specific model features
Some locks can be configured as a dual lock (dual mode where 2 different codes must be input to open the safe) for better security
Many safes have an internal light, which gets its power from the batteries used to power the unit
CONS
More expensive than mechanical combination lock
Needs batteries, which must be changed periodically
A biometric lock functions like an electronic lock, except biometric input must be supplied to open the lock. Typically this biometric input is a fingerprint.

PROS
Easy, quick access
All models can store multiple fingerprints
Typically can store multiple fingerprints and multiple codes
No need to remember combinations or codes
Some locks can be configured as a dual lock (dual mode where 2 codes or 2 fingerprints or 1 code + 1 fingerprint must be input to open the safe) for better security
Same advantages as an electronic lock
CONS
More expensive than both mechanical combination and electronic locks
Needs batteries, which must be changed periodically
Fingerprints must be saved properly
Positioning the finger on the fingerprint reader must be correctly done
Dual locks offer increased security since they can only be opened using 2 different modes of opening a lock. An example of a dual lock uses a dial combination plus a key to open the safe; the combination must be input AND the key lock must be turned to the open position. Another example would be an electronic lock or biometric lock that has been set to dual mode.

PROS
Increased security
Can choose to give access to only 1 person (for example, give both combination and key to 1 person) or to require 2 persons to be able to access the safe (for example, give combination to person 1 and key to person 2)
CONS
Can be cumbersome to open the safe, especially if accessing the safes requires 2 different people
