Sentry Stackable Fire Safe SENU2101 U2101

I have for many years owned a Sentry 2-drawer Fire Safe filing cabinet safe. (It looks like the current model 6000 pics but I'm not sure if it was the same model number, or if it's built the same)
I was always very impressed with how well it was built, including the very smooth drawer glides, which had a ball-bearing sliding mechanism, all metal. I made the mistake of assuming this one-drawer fire safe model from Sentry had a similar mechanism.

Unfortunately, I was mistaken, and that leads me to the first of my problems:

I wanted a reasonably priced fire resistant file to store paper in. This appeared to be the answer and it is acceptable, BUT I dearly wish that they had made the drawer on roller bearings rather than sliders. It is a little tough to open the drawer when its loaded with paper. Other than that, its a good value for the money and if you don't have to use it frequently it's fine. PS- Mine also came with a small dent- they could use better packaging.

I hesitated when purchasing this item, but I am VERY GLAD I did. It weighs about 70lbs and is very spacious and secure. It's much better than those flip top ones you see at local department stores. The keys for this safe are higher quality than any I have seen. I HIGHLY reccomend this product to anyone that values the safety of your personal information and documents.
