MOvINg The FIle INTO PlACe:

SentrySafe fire files are heavy, and extra caution is advised when moving the 
file into place.

 WARNINg

Do not use the file’s handle to lift or move the file; damage to the latching 
system may result. For the lock to function properly, the file must be leveled 
from side to side and front to back. Place shims at the bottom corners of the 
file as necessary to level the file.

Key lOCK:

Use keys found in the plastic bag. 

IMPORTANT
Open drawers do not provide protection. SentrySafe fire files use 
the latest technology to protect your valuables. During a fire, the 
insulation is designed to release moisture to create a protective 
barrier. If you are storing valuables that are sensitive to moisture, 
such as stamps, money, watches, etc., please place them in a sealed, 
humidity resistant container to protect them from moisture damage.

MAxIMuM ReCOMMeNDeD WeIghT: 

Up to 30 lbs./drawer

The weight should be evenly distributed throughout the file. Exceeding the 
maximum recommended capacity may seriously damage your file’s suspension.

This Water Resistant Fire File features an anti-tip mechanism designed to 
maintain weight distribution to prevent potential collapses and/or damage of 
file contents. When one drawer is opened, the safety device automatically locks 
the others so that they cannot open at the same time. You must fully close one 
drawer before opening another.

 WARNINg

Do not store delicate items directly in your file. 

SentrySafe products which offer fire protection have a proprietary insulation 
that has a high moisture content. In addition the SentrySafe advanced files 
close airtight to offer water resistance, which may also cause moisture to 
accumulate inside your safe. The desiccant packet included in your file during 
shipment should be left in your safe. 

DO NOT DISCARD IT

. It is intended to 

help absorb moisture which may accumulate inside your file. Please open your 
unit once every two weeks to avoid moisture accumulation.

If you choose to store delicate items such as jewelry with working parts, 
watches, stamps, or photos in your safe, we recommend putting them in an 
air-tight container, prior to placing them in the safe for storage.
