THE VERDICT
The SentrySafe is a larger shelf safe; the Honeywell is a smaller keyed chest. Their stated fire and water durations use different conditions. Neither has directory-confirmed certification in our records, so we do not declare a protection winner.
Measure the papers and the storage location first. The figures below come from the shared catalogue records, with current manufacturer information preferred where it differs.
