A unique design that really works!
The short version:
I bought this gun safe because it solved my issue of having limited mounting options, while retaining the quick access through electronic entry. The other safes I found online of similar size with electronic entry could not be mounted (in the space I had) in a way that didn't block either their door or keypad, or they were simply too big for what I needed. Overall, I am very happy with this gun safe.
Pro's:
- Design and flexibility in mounting options. Why didn't someone think of this sooner?!
- Foolproof programmable electronic entry with a physical key backup
- Nice white internal floodlight
- You can turn the electronic keypad "beep" sound on/off
- When mounted using bigger hardware (that you supply), the safe feels rock solid
Con's:
- The mechanical whining noise as the electronic latch locks/unlocks isn't quiet
- The white internal floodlight might be too bright for some people
- The "L"...
Not a safe but does exactly what I want it to.
I picked this up because I have a daughter that just started to walk. I like to keep my gun close and ready in my night stand but then I was afraid she could find it so I put in up high in the closes but then I had no quick access. My plan was to mount it on the side of my nightstand between my bed and nightstand. I went to the hardware store and picked up some nuts/bolts and washers because I feel the small wood type screw that came with it would pull out much quicker then either prying it open or breaking the night stand. As some reviews have said it is not a thick case and I feel it will not keep it safe if some one really wants it. BUT for my reason of just keeping my kid (and soon to me another) out of it while still maintaining fairly quick access I believe does the job to the T.
It would be a 5 star if it was a thicker case and added more security rather then feel it could be pried open relatively easy.( The security it provides is still better then just leaving open...
So far I'm impressed
I just got this in and installed it in our bedroom. It's mounted on the bed's headboard (between the bed and nightstand). Easy access and child security. The interior light is appreciated, too.
I've read the other reviews about the "noise" and there's truth to their claims. But it doesn't seem problematic to me (I disabled the "beep" per the instructions). If there's a crisis I don't think the unlatching sound of the Gun Vault is going to be an issue.
I also like the unlimited number of button combinations. If you read the instructions carefully, you'll notice that an "entry" can consist of TWO buttons pressed simultaniously. Makes for a quick code that would be virtually impossible to guess (unlike other units with just four buttons/entries).
