" ... So when you need to get to your stuff, it's not easy to do with the fingerprint. ... "
" ... fingerprint reader is so poor that it consistently fails after washing hands or sitting any other work. ... The 50 fingerprint storage is completely misleading, it does not record separate fingerprints, it uses one slot per scam so it's out makes you enter one finger 10 times then you have taken up 10 of the 50 slots, which is not even enough to program even one fingerprint to succeed 20% of the attempts. ... "
" ... Also, not even close to be as big an issue but the fingerprint very rarely worked. ... "
" ... It is a little bulkier than I would have liked, and it's difficult to use the fingerprint scanner if it's stored in a drawer, such as a dresser drawer, because of the placement of it. ... However, with 50 fingerprint logs, you can store fingerprints from any angle and make it work for you. ... "
" ... I spent 20 minutes setting up the biometric fingerprint. ... Finally after getting it set up the unlocking system failed to recognize my fingerprint and locked me out. ... The keypad also locks after the fingerprint fails. ... "
" ... My only suggestion is that the instructions said to press the fingerprint reader 3 times to set it and that didn't work after multiple tries. ... "
" ... After many attempts, the safe indicated that a fingerprint had been accepted into its memory - but then it wouldn't open with that fingerprint, instead giving a beep indicating that it did not recognize the fingerprint. ... "
" ... The reset would not work often and the fingerprint biometric control did not work at all. ... "

" ... I keep a full-size 1911 .45 and a compact .45 (Springfield XDS) in it and there's plenty of room for them. ... "
" ... The safe works well, holds 2 mags and my M&P 2.0c 9mm with very little excess room but enough room where it is not crowded. ... "
" ... The safe is good for 'storage', not home defense. ... "
" ... Good size as it can fit two handguns and magazines. ... "

" ... I was looking for a fairly large safe big enough for either 2 handguns or 1 handgun with accessories and this fits the bill. ... "
Product Reliability

" ... less than 6 months after purchase and almost never opened and the latch will not catch. ... "
" ... Then all of a sudden it stopped opening. ... "
" ... As other reviewers have stated, this device has a lot of problems and one I discovered today about not clearing the failed attempts after a timeout period is pretty much a deal breaker for me. ... So that means if I let the thing sits for an extended period of time after messing up the code to get in, the device doesn't reset the internal counter after so many minutes. ... "
" ... Simply doesn't work, unreliable. ... "
" ... Probably a defective unit. ... "
" ... I gave it two tries and the same issue persist. ... "
" ... I contacted Amazon and after running through a few attempts with the support team to get it to work and failed, they quickly sent me another unit and a shipping label to return the first one. ... "
" ... And the biometric is not very reliable. ... "

" ... Very nice, fits in a night stand next to head. ... "
" ... I have programmed 2 fingers on each hand for myself and my wife. ... "
" ... Great gun safe, I have 3 small kids at home and a wife who isn’t very comfortable with guns. ... So it makes her feel safe, me feel safe that I can get it quickly if ever needed and both us feel safe that our children can’t just access it, out of no where. ... "
" ... It comes with the foam pad, but to be honest I don’t like it and replaced it with a thin piece of felt so I could use my magnet to hold things up as it’s mounted on the wall. ... The keys are actual solid cut keys not just the little safe keys, I like that because I won’t lose these. ... "
