Smart Biometric Safe - (0.80 cu. ft.) Fingerprint Lock Box with Silent Mode, Backlit Keypad and LED Light, Small Caja Fuerte with Anti-Rust and Anti-Theft

This is an excellent safe for locking up your handguns and other valuables. It’s just the right size for what I need. The rack holds 4 pistols comfortably and still has plenty of room for ammo, magazines, and whatever else you might need to put in it. It’s very sturdy and it comes with mounting hardware so you don’t have to worry about it getting stolen. The door works great for all three methods of entry. The light inside is a nice touch as well. It’s very user friendly and even has an alarm if someone tries to get in 5 times unsuccessfully. It also has a silent mode (doesn’t affect the alarm) so you can open it without giving away your location. Would definitely buy again!

- Easy and fast to setup, manual is super easy to follow- Fingerprint reader works great- Does unlock with fingerprint only - great for super fast access- Secure key entry (the key is not a joke)- Backup power source for the keypad/fingerprint reader included in case batteries go out locking you out- If you want to convert it to key-only: just remove the battery and break the USB port after setting a pin and registering the fingerprints)- Great company to deal with, because they reply very fast, are happy to help, and are always incredibly professional and friendly (when I locked myself out of the safe, they did the most rigorous checks, and custom-made a replacement key in half the scheduled time).- Great for hiding weapons, cell phones, game station controllers from kids- Great for hiding your most expensive liquor bottles from guests- Great for hiding your most expensive spices, teas or chocolate from significant others or roommates (use fingerprint access for rapid midnight chocolate snacking when half asleep ;)- Great for hiding stuff from snoopy girlfriends and landlords in case of unauthorized entry- Fingerprint reader ensures super fast access (great for rapid emergency self-protection weapon access)- The fingerpring reader reads dry hands well- The fingerprint reader is textured to prevent fingerprint lifting off the device- The front door and the locking mechanism is very hefty and top notch- Great for car travel: just wheel it into your motel or hotel room or carry it inside a consealing luggage with rolling wheels (it's better than any upper-middle class hotel safe)After doing some research I decided on this safe vs. the twice+ more expensive and much heavier Sanctuary Home & Office save.Both can be picked up and carried away, but this one is lighter. If you don't want it to ever move, you can bolt it down to concrete and nobody will move it or fill it up with your gold bricks :)However, in case of a fire, I would want to quickly grab and carry out my safe full of guns and ammo, documents etc to prevent ammo from going off due to exessive heat. So the size-weight combination is absolutely perfect.I usually prefer super the heavy multi-thousand dollar safes to be installed during construction to reduce the risk of carry-out, but most people just build their own fire-proof safes or have them custom built. So for this size safe, I find this one is absolutely perfect, multi-purpose and won't be looking to upgrade.If you are a hotel owner, make sure to contact the company directly and ask for bulk contract pricing. Their products look very stylish. The build is great. The company works great with everybody. The response time to questions/requests is almost instant.As always, if you use fingerprint authorization for corporate security, make sure to refer to company's security specialist before registering fingerprints anywhere.Make sure to remove and keep the safe ID label in case you need key replacement. To set the PIN/Fingerprint, I needed to push the reset button once, instead of holding it like the manual instructs. Everything else is perfect.

I'm rating this 5 stars because its as advertised. You may or may not agree that its the best in its category, but I'm happy with it.Pros: Keeps contents safe from children unless you leave the keys or combo laying around for them to find. I just needed to keep things from my curious grandson.The biometric scanner works great for me and provides quicker access than finding the keys or using combo. At night, I do not want be looking for keys or trying to remember the combo.The space in this model suits my need for handguns and ammo access.Comes with "gun rack" that takes up the bottom shelf but leaves enough room for small accessories such as speed loader. I use the top shelf for ammo and a longer handgun.The mechanism "dial" turns smoothly and I like the locking bars make and size.It comes with adequate padding where needed.The velcroed accessory panel for the door (battery compartment hidden behind) is nice but it has to be aligned properly when installing so the door shuts.Cons: Its just a lock box that can be lifted and taken from the house by anybody strong enough to carry the weight and its contents. If you take the time to secure it to the floor, wall, heavy furniture, etc. then that will deter most.I like the idea of a light when the door is opened, but it isn't bright enough for me. However, you can install a battery operated LED light.The logo/cover plate that hides the key lock slides off too easily.You can look on youtube and see that a sledgehammer and chisel will open any safe of this class. But to be fair, its a deterrence, not a bank safe.Not sure how many openings it takes to deplete battery life, but I have another (different brand) and they never seem to last long enough. They are annoying to change out but it is what it is. I would suggest if you have the room to keep a spare set of batteries in the safe itself.

The media could not be loaded. So I bought this one replace the one I had for 5 years and had to break into, because the batteries die and in the process of swapping them out the cable was pulled out from the motherboard. FML right! So I had to go into work and break into it. This one is a bit smaller than the one I had but everything I need to keep safe fits well and I like the fact that it has three ways to unlock it. You can unlock it with a 4-8 digit code, finger print or keys. It’s also lighter in weight and what I love the most is that it comes with a light that’s built in. Easy to use and doesn’t take much room. I recommend this product. It’s quite and functions perfectly. Only con is that the plate that covers the key hole is flimsy and when in transport it falls and it’s made out of plastic. But it will definitely keeps what you need to keep safe; safe. I’ll be charging the code now since it’s visible in the video LOL!!!
