Great at first...
I really wanted to love this safe. I am from WI and that made me want to love them even more! These are two of four Sentry safe products we have in our house, but I may have to look for other options.
I bought two (2) of these safes. Out of the box they were awesome. Opened quickly and completely. I change the batteries each 6 months to a year. The problem is the cylinder (as others have mentioned). They got really slow which does not help in an emergency situation. Now, two years later, one opens all the way but very slowly. The other opens half way, also very slowly. I am very disappointed. The cylinders on my tailgate glass lasted over 10 years with daily use!

Finally a great biometric / How I fixed my strut.
I’ve had other biometric pistol safes before, and this beats them hands down. The quick swipe finger pad is easy to see, impossible to miss even when you are in a hurry, and quick.
I’ve had it a couple of years and yes, my strut started getting weak. For a few cents I got another spring like the one on the strut. Without disassembling anything, I just wound the spring on the strut, effectively increasing the opening force. Just like new. I’m guessing the spring will last me longer than a new strut.

Great safe but door struts failed...
I came onto this website today to see if anyone has had the same problem and coincidentally the person to leave the latest review had his door struts fail too. So after 1 year of my purchase the struts failed so the door doesn't fully open. The door still opens upon unlocking the safe but it only cracks open about an inch or so... if any Sentry Safe representative reads this please address the issue and help me with the restoration of my safe! I do love your products!

Worked for 1 year - door fails to open fully
My safe worked great for a year. After the year mark, I noticed the door to the safe wouldn’t lift as high when unlocking it. I changed the batteries and had the same results. Now at a little over 2 years, I unlock the safe and have to carefully lift the door from the side to get it open.
After reading some of the reviews here, it looks like a pretty common issue with this product. It would be great but it’s expensive and not a investment if it stops being effective after a year.

Be Careful: Door Struts Go Bad After Warranty Date
I bought 3 of these safes for my pistols and they worked Great for 1 year. Then the door struts (what flips door open) went bad on all 3 units in about 1 1/2 years. The 1 year Warranty expired, so I have 3 useless safes now. So if you only want the safe to work for a year or so, then go for it.

Another failed gas strut
Same story as so many others. I bought this to replace another brand that had failed after about 15 years. I got a good deal on it at Costco and SentrySafe is a well known brand, right? I used it for just over a year and noted that the gas strut was failing. I found other reviews, one that showed an "easy" fix done by adding a new spring to the strut. I added a spring that was too strong and it ended up jamming the door closed. Sigh..... After numerous attempts, I finally got it open. That would have been bad had I needed that pistol in a hurry. I will be throwing this thing away and going back to another brand.

Safe with Flexible Options & minor irritations
The safe arrived before scheduled and on budget, so good. But two things are irritating about the setup and installation.
1. Directions regarding programming numbers are unclear. Are the only numbers available 1-4?
2. It does not appear that one can program numbers AND fingerprint. This is unclear from the directions.
3. I could only manage to program one fingerprint, not two as advertised. Again, the directions are unclear and/or lacking.
This product would have received 5 stars except for the poorly written and incomplete directions.

Great safe and Amazing customer service
The electronics and biometrics work fine. After three or four years a problem developed that when the safe is unlocked the door doesn't open. I needed to use a thin item to pry the door up so that I can manually open it the rest of the way. I contacted SentrySafe and explained the issue and asked if there was a way for me to fix it, but instead the Customer Solutions Representative said that she would send me a new piston. My expectation was that they would make a recommendation of how to fix the problem, or sell me a part. It nice to see that there are still some companies who will stand behind their products. I will definitely buy from them again.;
