Cheap Safes Under $50.00

by editor

There are so many safes out in the market place that I thought I would try to put together a one-page product listing for you that has all the information that you’ll need to be able to make a good safe purchasing decision. After doing several hours of research the least expensive safe that I was able to find on Amazon is a safe made by SentrySafe. The SentrySafe 1200 is a UL listed fireproof safe that will withstand 1550°F temperatures for approximately 30 minutes.  The safe is also ETL Verified to protect your valuables from fire damage.  What does being ETL verified mean to you and why should you care?  The ETL verified mark or logo is a symbol of performance integrity similar to that of a product that is UL listed. The ETL verified mark and the UL listing means that this safe has undergone and passed inspections by third-party independent labs and that you are getting a product that has some quality control built into it. This small safe features a flat key lock to prevent the lid from opening in the event of a fire and comes with a convenient built-in carrying handle for easy transportation. Do not let the small size of this safe fool you. The SentrySafe 1200 weighs a respectable 13 pounds and is currently being sold on Amazon for $25.96. Key Stats of the SentrySafe 1200
