I would not go so far as to call this a gun safe. It is a steel gun cabinet. The locking mechanism is untrustworthy and the fingerprint reader has stopped recognizing my fingerprint even though I have my finger and my thumb saved multiple times at multiple different angles. I would not trust this lock to function properly in an emergency situation which was the whole reason I bought the small cabinet to be by my bed. Good but not what I expected
I had no issues upon setup. I made my pin, registered my fingerprint and it was ready to go. I was happy it came with padding inside the safe for everything to rest on. Overall definitely a good choice, I would recommend. Love the color and it was very
Its a nice compact rifle safe, depth allows you to store AR with scope, can easily accommodate 3/4 rifles along with handguns. Finger print reader works fine. This is the best rifle safe I could find under 500 that has all the bells and whistles. I was so excited to use it
Product received as advertised. As other comments indicate that safe will open with any fingerprints, please read the manual. It specifically states that at least one fingerprint needs to be setup for it to work properly.
I configured the safe to be unlocked with both pin and fingerprint for added security. Setup is very easy.
Customer service is superb! Ive asked where I can order a door organizer, and they shipped me one at no charge! Its a good product
Im really happy with this rifle cabinet. I was really set on a Vaultek but there wasnt enough justification for the 3/4x price difference. I really just need something I could access in a reasonable amount of time and is robust enough to keep my kids out. The more expensive options are undoubtedly better in build quality but build quality here is more than sufficient for my and most peoples needs.
The biometric access works well and its nice to have the digital keypad backup in case your hands are wet, the packaging was sufficient to avoid damage, the internal lockbox is nice to separate ammo from the firearms.
Tips:
Make sure you bolt this thing to the wall, it isnt a heavy safe and on carpet the door is heavy enough to tip it over. I used 2 2x6s lag bolted (use forstner bits to get the lag bolts flush to the wood) to the wall studs and then used short lag bolts to secure the safe to the 2x6s.
I swapped out the lockbox lock for a digital cabinet lock to remove the annoyance of keys.
I mounted a 64 LED light bar vertically near the hinge and 20 LED light bar underneath and inside the lockbox to provide automatic lighting.
I also ran a USB cable into the safe to provide low voltage power for temp/humidity monitoring (youll need to cut the usb connector off and then rejoin it inside the safe).
I took the door panel off to take a look at things and theres lots of possibilities if youre handy with electronics and want to create additional ways to actuate the unlocking mechanism (its a simple 5V solenoid).
Customer Service:
Im actually surprised how nice has been, I did the warranty registration and got an email from them with thanks and an offer for the door panel organizer at no cost to me. It arrived quickly and gives more storage options for pistols or other random things you might want to keep organized. They even followed up with an email to make sure I received it. Its nice knowing that if a problem came up that theres someone responsive on the other end to address it.
If youre looking to keep firearms away from people in your house that shouldnt handle them without supervision at a reasonable price, this cant be beat.
Easy to setup and perfect safe for rifles with attached sights. The safe is very easy to setup the touchpad and add fingerprints. Once setup its also super easy to open. Highly recommend this safe. It is ok for the use.
Pros:
Door is sturdy with 5 large pins (one top, one bottom three on the side)
Biometric is very reliable fast. (I choose to scan the fingers I use three times to be extra sure)
Lock options include a digital number, muting the beeping, front door battery backup accessory included, physical key fail safe.
Depth of the safe is good
Separate internal lockbox
Separate included contoured foam with adhesive tape already adhered for hand guns if desired on the shelf
The other contoured foam for the rifles can slide up down a few inches.
Two shelf locations for the one metal shelf
Customer service responded courteously promptly to help resolve the lockbox issue (see below)
Hardware included ( two holes precut in the back of the safe) to mount the safe into wall studs.
/My safe location did not have studs behind it so, the 100lb butterfly style wall anchors did the trick.Youll want it anchored as the sturdy door makes it heavy will pull it over forward if swung all the way open.
Cons:
Internal craftsmanship not the same quality as the door
/internal lockbox door jammed along the top was initial difficult to open (now working well as long as I dont press it shut real hard /not likely, but I can pry it open again)
/2nd shelf location is not level
/ soft floor is plush, but loose
/ rougher edges in places than preferable
/ I wish the foam contoured piece had more depth for the rifles. With sights flipped up ready, my rifle would hit the back and so is angled instead of vertical as is the best way to snugly seat the end of the barrel into the foam. I might look at cutting it to hold it better at an angle.
Not a con, but one think I do have to get used to. to lock the safe, youll close the pins with the handle, but will have to remember to rotate the ring around the biometric lock. Without that last part, the safe remains unlocked. That may come in handy if in out while doing something, but could be a risk if you forget to do that last step; its not automatic.
Great product. My only issue and Ill stress it is my issue, is after loading it up I had more things to lock up as I first thought, so I wish it was a little bigger.
Adam in customer service is the best! Best quality product

Solid product at a good price point.
Needed some extra room for some of my shotguns and this gun cabinet worked out perfectly. Good product for its value
Mediocre security at best

The gun safe.
The safe is very well/built plenty of room like the fingerprint option. It arrived on time
Stores AR with scope, finger print reader works fine
