Sentry Fire Safe Cheap Fire-proof bag/safe alternatives?
It feels unsafe to live in apartments in USA where the neighbours might set on fire and left us with burning apartments.
Fire-proof safe is kind of expensive and heavy for securing my documents such as Sentry's safe. Fire-proof bank deposit bags are very expensive.
I wonder if you have any ideas of alternatives for us to have fire-proof bags/suitcase/safe or create one? That has high volume capacity, light and low cost.
for water proof, just put it in sealed plastic bag.
Not sure if it is worth it, but materials to use could be: build a box out of several layers of 5/8" drywall. The drywall gives off moisture and is an excellent firestop. Insulate the inside with mineral wool. Go to a lumberyard and you can purchase the stuff in a bag that looks like a bag of peat moss. Ask the people for the stuff used for firestopping buildings. For $20 you will get more than you will use. After insulating with mineral wool, put your container with valuables inside.
Look on the bright side - if it doesn't work, you were probably killed in the fire anyway.

How do I get in my locked Sentry Safe?
When I closed it, both of my keys were inside, and I didn't realize that it would lock by itself. The Sentry safe is fire proof and water proof. The key is tubular. The lock is also made to resist expert lock picking and attacking of the lock. I have $300 worth of giftcards in my safe, so I really need to open it. I also left the paper that had all my information like my serial nuber and model number of my safe, so I don't have the proper information to provide to get my keys replaced. What do I do. Would a lock smith be able to open it, or make a new tubular key for it.
How much did the safe cost new and how old is it, how big is it? Is it a Sentry brand? If so, what model? That might help us determine how secure it really is. If it opens only with a key, it is probably not too secure. If it cost under $150 or so, and weighs under 200 pounds, a it is not too secure. Those are meant to hold very low value items.
I will guarantee that it is is NOT fire proof NOR water proof. No safe is. They use those words as marketing hype because they define what the term means to them. It is fire resistant at best, not fire proof. For these purposes, the difference is not important though. Just to let people know that they need to read the fine print to know what protection they really have.
It will fill with water if you submurge it for long enough or if you spray a lot of water, as in a fire hose hitting it. It is totally impossible for a home safe to be water proof.
If it is the low priced one that I think it is, the statements about picking and attacking are more marketing hype than anything else. A good safe weights many hundreds of pounds, if not thousands. It also takes more than a key to open it.
If it is an inexpensive home unit, under $150 and under 200 pounds weight, you can probably drill the lock. Once you have done that, it remains to be seen how to open it. It might be apparent, it might not. Another option would be to take a hammer and chisel to it, better yet, an air chisel.
Personally, I would get estimates from a locksmith and take it in. Obviously, if it weights over a couple hundred pounds, they will have to come out.
