Use and Care Manual

Getting started

Moving the fi le into place:
SentrySafe fi re fi les are heavy,
and extra caution is advised
when moving the fi le into place.
SentrySafe does NOT recommend
removing the fi le drawers.
Do not use the fi le’s handle to lift
or move the fi le; damage to the
latching system may result. For the
lock to function properly, the fi le
must be leveled from side to side
and front to back. Place shims at
the bottom corners of the fi le as
necessary to level the fi le.

Congratulations on purchasing a Sentry
®
Safe product. SentrySafe is the world’s leader in fire/water-resistant and security
storage. This guide describes how to easily set up the product.
Plunger lock
(standard on fi les):
Use keys found in the cloth bag
hanging from the top drawer.
• Lock/No Lock Mechanism
These SentrySafe fi re fi les
feature a lock/no lock option.
This feature allows you to
decide which drawers, if any,
you want to remain unlocked,
even when the fi le’s lock is
engaged.
Note: the drawer
with the installed lock must
be closed with the lock/no
lock mechanism in the “lock”
position and latched for the
lock to engage. This mechanism
is located on the outer right
side of each drawer (Fig. A).
When the mechanism is in the
“lock” position, as detailed
(Fig. B), the drawer will
lock anytime the fi le lock is
engaged. When the mechanism
is in the “No lock” position,
as detailed (Fig. C), the drawer
will not lock when closed, even
if the lock is engaged.

Seasonal Installation Recommendation
Shipping this insulated fi re fi le during the extreme temperature seasons can cause moisture condensation
as the insulation materials are slower than the steel exterior surfaces to equalize to room temperature.
Before loading fi re fl es with records, it is recommended that the drawers be opened so the drawer cavities
can be exposed to room temperatures for approximately 24 hours.
