I've owned one of these since 2015 and I've had zero issues with it. I'd highly recommend it. As a word of caution for anyone maybe reading this, this safe absolutely destroyed one of those "heavy duty" appliance dolly's that Costco sold back in 2015. Be very careful when moving this safe. My neighbor ended up coming over with his ATV with a winch (with 2x6's) to help get it up 2-3 concrete steps that I have in my front yard.
The customer service and quality with Sturdy safe are excellent. I want to purchase a safe. I did a lot of research on different brand safe for more than 2 years. I finally make my decision to purchase from Sturdy safe.
I was impressed to learn that Sturdy use 4 gauge steel for the body and 3/8 steel for the door. There are many company in the market using thin layer of steel between 14 gauge to 11 gauge. There isn’t many company using 4 gauge of steel in the market. Because the thicker the steel is more expensive, and the profits is less for the company. There is also other options on Sturdy website if you want to add more steel to your safe body to make it more secure.
I also want to say thank you very much for the assistance that Alyssa had given me during my purchase. I called many many times to asked questions about the safe, and Alyssa always being professional and patience to answer all my questions. She never put any pressure on me to buy like the other company did.
A safe can last for a life time or many many years to come. This is why you must do research before you purchase one. I’m so glad that I find this company during my research. This company tell you everything up front in the website & No hidden secret. Sturdy safe is also family owned business sine 1959 and is in business for 4 generation.
I’m happy with my safe, and a secure peace of mind knowing that I’m getting better quality and thicker steel to compare to other brand name company safe. THANK YOU !
I also forgot to mention the exceptional customer service Study Safe offers. I don't know a lot about the company except what i read on their site and saw in Youtube videos, but you are dealing with people who make a great product and clearly take pride in their products and services. Any time i called or emailed, my questions and concerns were addressed professionally and promptly. They are good to go. I will buy another Study Safe in the future.
A little research revealed that Sturdy makes really good safes focusing on thick steel and strong welds rather than fancy interiors and multiple color options. That's pretty much what i wanted. I don't need a fancy interior, just a safe that will keep people out and protect my things. Don't expect really fancy interiors with this safe.
I took delivery of my new Sturdy Safe last week. I got the 2419 model after a lot of research and measuring and thinking about it. I was planning to upgrade the steel package to magnum or heavy metal but decided to go with most popular. I live in an urban area close to the fire department but not sure where i will live in the future so i added the fire liner. Also due to the fact that i live in an apartment complex, i thought that added to the fire risk considering i have no control over that my neighbors are doing or the maintenance of fire countermeasures in the building. The fire liner does considerably lower the safe capacity but to me it's worth it for the security. I thought about getting a non fire lined safe and keeping a fire resistant box in the safe but why not just have the whole thing protected? I also opted for the floor plate because i see myself possibly putting this in an area i am unable to bolt it to the floor.
This safe is very sturdy, the door gap is very tight which will prevent pry attacks. I will most likely get another Sturdy Safe down the line. Thank you Sturdy Safe.
I just took delivery of my new model 2419 with the "most popular" metal package and rifle rods system. I forewent the fire protection, as I could not sacrifice that much interior room (I'm significantly space constrained, so could not opt for a larger safe). Wow was this safe a piece of heavy metal! My son and I were able to tip it from the pallet onto a wheeled dolly, roll it to the right spot, and tip it into position--but it was no cake walk. Securing it wasn't too hard, using the helpful videos as a guide. My advice... plan very very carefully before starting to move the safe.
The safe turned out to be roomier than expected -- probably due to the rifle rod system. The manual lock is smooth and easy to operate (one I got the hang of it).
Thanks Sturdy Safe team for making such a great product and providing great service. The steel thickness and construction make the typical competitor products look/feel like useless junk.
Oh, BTW - the shipper helpfully wheeled the unit (which was strapped upright to a pallet) around the back of my house into my garage and aligned it with my door. I wasn't even there -- my wife took delivery with no hassle. It was very well wrapped/protected and had zero damage.
