Perfect Home Safe for Quick Access
This is a great safe. It's sturdy and well made yet light enough to mount on a shelf for standing height access. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple of issues I'll discuss later that if addressed could make this safe outstanding.The good: It's a perfect size for three hanging handguns and some magazines on the floor. It's designed for two additional guns to lay flat but that would seem a bit cramped if you ask me. All my hand guns are mid-sized or compact and it fits them perfect (4.1 inch to 3 inch barrels). I'm sure a 5 inch would fit well and may even be easier to reach in a critical situation. The bio-metric finger ID seems spot on and takes multiple fingerprints for myself and my wife. Critically it's not mentioned in the instructions that multiple fingerprints can be programed nor does it say how many can be programed. So far I've only programed three finger prints and it seems to work fine. Because of the way the frame is built and the door is designed I can't see anyone being able to tamper with the lock, latch or bio-metric button with a coat hanger or anything which was a concern I had from looking at other lock box designs. I like having the ability to use the battery or power adapter although I'll probably be using the battery most often. It's also good to have the use of a key, combination lock and bio-metrics options for opening and the ability to silence the chime is great. The red light inside seems almost movie like and perfect for accessing in the dark. If your feeling around at night and miss touch the scanner it will light up helping you find it. It may read as a bad scan but you have several try's before it locks you out. If a non programed finger touches the sensor, a red light on top blinks and the green scanner flashes a couple of times letting you know it's a no go. It will also beep if the sound is on. The hooks you slide your barrels onto are covered with some kind of coating and the inside is lined with a cushion type material to protect your weapons. The bottom cushion material must be peeled off to mount the safe with screws on a shelf or something. There is also a small metal shelf inside that can be removed by removing the hooks (which are very difficult to remove without using some strong fingers).The Bad (more like what can be improved): The shelf inside rattles around a lot and seems somewhat useless to me. Maybe someone would have a use for it but I just took it out since if the guns are hanging you can't get to the shelf anyway. The rails welded to the side that hold the shelf in mine was crooked making the shelf not even level. This just seem like a quality control issue. The welded metal frame in the back of the safe that hold the gun hooks is also a bit crooked but not bad enough to make hanging the guns difficult. Lastly, as mentioned before the instructions doesn't say anything about adding multiple fingerprints and says nothing about how to remove the shelf. I just studied the inside to see how the hooks were inserted and just tried programing more fingerprints and figured it out through trial and error.Conclusion, given all the positives this is a great gun safe for quick access to your firearms when you need it most. Despite the minor flaws and lack of instruction I would highly recommend this safe. Although I haven't had it long it seems like a quality product that I expect will last many years.

High Quality
Works as expected. The quality seems great. The fingerprint sensor works every time. The keypad lights up and works well also. The light inside on my unit doesn't stay on very long, maybe 5 seconds before it fades out, but it's long enough to see inside in the dark. It comes with keys and instructions on how to set everything up. If you take the cushion inside out you can drill it to the floor or shelf or something. Will def be buying another one when the time arises. I had a question and called their support # they were very knowledgeable and nice.

Highly recommend, very satisfied, great product and seller
This is my first safe. I shopped around and researched/compared features extensively. I watched many videos from different sites and read about 50 ratings on small safes for handguns.My criteria was small size, fire proof/waterproof if possible, biometric and combination access, ability to secure to floor if possible, light inside for night, extra room for documents,. All in all I’m very pleased with this purchase. There are a few things that could be improved but it works for exactly what I need right now. All in all for the price and being my first safe it was a good value. The seller is extremely responsible and responsive. I can’t say enough about their commitment to making sure you’re happy with your purchase And offering help regarding any questions you may have. I would recommend this product And would highly recommend this seller. I ultimately did not elect to attach to my floor but the option is available. I have it plugged in for the biometric feature which is a little bit picky but you need to practice and follow the instructions exactly when setting up. The combination lock was extremely easy to set up, just follow instructions. It does hold several handguns as have three in there currently with a couple documents that are small. This was the best size I could find that held more than one pistol, it actually holds I think 3 to 5. Most hold 1 or 2 at the most for this size and price. I love the feature of being able to hang the handguns inside the safe for easy access. It does come with a cable lock to wrap around something sturdy. I put mine on top of my desk, it’s a small enough footprint that it doesn’t take up too much room And it’s at a height and reach that’s very easily accessible. It does offer many features to customize for yourself like turning the beeping sound off after you’ve completely set it up. If someone really wanted to steal it I’m sure it would be possible, not sure if cable would slow them down if they were prepared. It is not fire/waterproof. Ultimately I would purchase this again and highly recommend. Next safe will have more features such as fire/water resistance but they cost quite a bit more. Also, I am not the most technical person so I dedicated some time to set up and it’s exactly how I like it.

“Cheap” unlocking mechanisms, and completely unreliable for quick access.
This safe started out fine but within a few weeks would start to “dry open” where it made the noise for correct biometric read out but the door would NOT open, this would happen several times in a row.As u can see, the biometric scanner isn’t even installed or designed very nicely. This isn’t exactly what u want from a safe especially if it’s suppose to be a quick access safe. That could of been a life or death situation.Keypad entries would also not register when pressed sometimes. Seems they wore out quickly with very little use within the month (or I just received a faulty unit).The safe itself seems well built and is pretty spacious. The drop down door design is nice (if they could fix the opening situation I listed earlier it would be near perfect).
