UPDATED: 4-22-2016: My personal experience with Sentry’s model A5882 was excellent, but it has been discontinued. It seems that Sears no longer carries it, or anything directly comparable. (Oh, Sears. 8,( How I miss the retailer you were. )
As near as I can tell, this is the closest replacement for Sentry’s A5882. Reviews below are mixed, so do your own due diligence.

Finding a 1-hour fire safe was easy. Finding a 2-hour fire safe is quite challenging. I found this item at Sears around 2005. (Currently Sears Item# 00957428000 | Sentry Model# A5882)
Our house burned to the ground in 2008. The flames burned for 10 hours, and we’re told that the temperatures probably reached 1200 degrees Fahrenheit at some times during the blaze. This safe was on the 2nd floor, and it took some days to recover it. Continue reading →
