BARSKA Top Opening Biometric Fingerprint Safe

Great biometric safe
Great product! I got this new top opening Barska biometric safe for Christmas after reading all of the great reviews of the side opening model. Shipping was quick and free.

When I opened it up on Christmas, I found that the safe was locked. I called Barska and they said it should not have been locked and that there was no way for me to open if it without the key which by the sound was locked inside the safe.

Other posts mention the "beep" on opening - it's not that loud - and it will beep if left open after a few minutes (which I like).

** FYI - On unpacking the safe and installing the batteries, the fingerprint reader was non-responsive. I...
LOVE IT!
I wanted a Biometric safe for my home protection gun. Wanted it secure, but also wanted to be able to get my hands on it quick, and the reliability needed to be there. I tried it a dozen or so times, the biometric lock works flawlessly so far. No complaints.
