Tips

If you lose your key, submit your H4100's lock reference number--located on the silver lock cylinder--to SentrySafe via the SentrySafe Replacement Keys webpage to order replacement keys. The lock reference number may consist of a number, letter, number and letter, or the cylinder may not have a number. If it doesn't have a number, contact SentrySafe for assistance.

Warnings

The H4100 offers only up to a half hour of protection against temperatures up to 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit. It will not protect photo negatives, video or audio cassettes, 2 ¼-inch floppy disks, cartridge tapes or diskettes.
