The year’s not even half way completed and already it’s the best year for safe buyers. Wondering why? Well, 2014 has unofficially become the year of innovation in the safe world.

Earlier this month, SentrySafe launched their redesigned line of chests and files at the annual National Hardware Show in the United States. While these safes aren’t available for purchase on the market yet, here’s a sneak preview of what’s to come later this year.

Fire Protection At Its Finest

The FHW40200 is made to withstand 30 minutes of extreme heat up to 1,550 °F and its sturdy upright frame is perfectly suited for important paper documents including birth certificates, passports, licenses, and more. The new design features flush-mounted faceplates and a key lock entry to ensure privacy, plus easy to carry handles for on-the-go protection. This safe shares many of the same features as its predecessors, the Sentry H3100 Waterproof Fire Chest and F2300. If you’re not interested in purchasing the latest model, the SN-F2300 is still a great safe with many appealing features. It’s ETL Verified for fire and water protection, can withstand high heats for 60 minutes, and comes with key lock entry mode.

Don’t Be Alarmed —Welcome the New Generation of Alarm Safes

New alarm entry systems were all the rage at the Hardware Show this year and SentrySafe made sure not to disappoint with their new digital alarm safes. The SFW123TTC and SFW205TWC have an entry system straight out of a James Bond flick. The hidden touch keypad can fool even the most cunning of thieves along with an alarm that goes off when the safe is moved or tampered with. It’s classified for up to 60 minutes of fire resistance at 1,700°F. Since this safe isn’t anticipated to appear on the market until the end of this year, explore the current model made available by Safe Options.
