SentrySafe AS-1 Autosafe
The Sentry Safe AS-1 is just the thing for anyone looking into buying a console safe for their car or truck but don’t want to spend too much money.
Due to its portability you can pretty much take it and attach it anywhere. It is a small safe but is just the right size for temporarily storing away items.
Many people use it to store away their handgun in their vehicle or in their home. Note, not all handguns will fit so make sure to check its measurements before buying.
Let’s see what other benefits this small safe has to offer.
Who Can Benefit From The SentrySafe AS-1?
This product will be very useful for someone who is on the road a lot for work or even vacations. You will need somewhere secure to put your valuables such as your wallet, credit cards, cheques, keys, jewelry, etc.
The glove compartment of your vehicle does not count as a secure spot!
You may be someone who drives to the park for your daily jog but needs somewhere to keep certain items locked away in your car while you jog.
A person licensed to carry a firearm may not be allowed to do so in certain locations and so will need to secure the gun in their car while they go about their business.
If you’re looking for a console safe for your vehicle but don’t want to spend too much money then this SentrySafe AS-1 would be a perfect alternative.
Due to its compact size this would also benefit someone who only has a small amount of room to store things. A student living in a dorm is a good example.
Compact size
The interior of the AS-1 Autosafe measures 3.2in x 7in x 5.2in which is just big enough to fit in some small valuable items such as cash, jewelry and your portable electronics.
You can add your vehicle GPS system, cell phone, USB sticks and your glasses for driving. You can even put in your check book and your wallet. It can easily fit under a car seat or be placed in the trunk of your vehicle.
Secured And Kept In Place
This portable safe comes with a 32 inch long steel cable that should be used to wrap around a solid point such as the metal underside of a car seat.
This is very tough cable and should hold up against a speedy smash and grab attempt on your car. It can be fixed to either the left or right side of the safe and is also vinyl coated to protect any painted surfaces it is attached to.
For additional security there is the option of using the supplied hardware to bolt this SentrySafe AS-1 to areas of your vehicle.
Design and Construction
This small safe is locked and unlocked by using the key that comes with the unit. There are two steel locking bolts that lock into place when the key is turned.

The insides are lined with foam so your valuables are cushioned and can avoid scratches or damages. It even has anti-slip protection accessories, (Velcro disks, carpet screws and rubber feet), available so not only will your valuables be protected from the inside but also have outside protection from any regular bumps.
