SentrySafe CHW20221 Fireproof Waterproof Safe 0.28 cu ft 15.4 x 14.3 x 6.6 in Charcoal Gray Key Lock

Fireproof and waterproof document safe

The SentrySafe CHW20221 is a compact safe built to protect paper records, passports, USB drives and small valuables in a home or small-office setting. It carries a UL Classification for one-half hour at 1550°F and an ETL Verification for 72 hours of water submersion. A tubular key lock supplies basic privacy protection with two keys included. The charcoal-gray chest weighs 20 pounds and offers 0.28 cubic feet of interior space.

Upgrade from basic lock boxes

This model replaces unrated metal cash boxes or plastic totes that provide no certified fire or flood resistance. The jump is worth it when documents, digital media or heirlooms would be costly or impossible to replace after a house fire or basement flood. It is not suited for buyers who need high-security burglary ratings, larger capacities for binders or laptops, or electronic access with audit trails.

Capacity and headroom

Interior dimensions of 12.8 by 8.5 by 4.4 inches hold letter-size folders, a small stack of DVDs and a few USB drives with room to spare. The in-lid organiser keeps frequently used items visible and accessible. The safe reaches its limit with bulky binders, 15-inch laptops or thick deed boxes, and the single key lock cannot support multiple authorised users without sharing physical keys.
