This safe seems very solid and sturdy, obviously the cheap plastic dial and handle are the weakest part of the same.  The dial is loud and solid,  I don't think the handle could ever break off during normal use.  I'm happy with this dial safe.  It's heavy and awkward to grip but a person could carry it over short distances if not bolted down.  We own other Sentry Safes for quick access and fire protection of documents, they each serve their own purpose.
