![]() ![]() ![]() I thought it would be like the biometrics on the iphone. I’ve had to rescan my prints a couple times too to get it working decently. If you don’t have your finger straight on the scanner, it won’t read correctly. That’s piece of mind that I don’t loose my pistol. It blends in with what’s in my room and I have it screwed in tight. Trending review: "I don’t regret shelling out money for this fancy metal box. I emailed Vaultek and they said they are aware of the issue, so hopefully anyone buying the safe going forward won't have to deal with the typo and waste any time getting their safe set up." - Cody McPherson This took me quite a while to figure out, and since the model is so new there were no YouTube tutorials available yet. To set your fingerprint you must hold PROGRAM and "2", NOT "1" like it says. **ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF** There is a TYPO in the quick-start guide. So, If you're looking for the best, fastest, single-gun speed safe for your home defense firearms, look no further. Is it a tad bit luxurious to have a WiFi safe? Probably. With kids around this is helpful, so I can know if they're messing with the safe (or if anyone else is in your home "snooping"). So many ways to open the safe quickly, and of course this model is WiFi enabled so you can get push notifications from anywhere when your self is opened or tampered with. Yes, they are expensive, but simply amazing. Vaultek spared no expense to make these safes top-of-the-line. Helpful review: "I bought two of these, one for each level of my home. All these dings on the design are minor and tolerable for our purposes, especially at this price point. And the gas-assist door opens rapidly, almost violently, and can crash into the front of the cabinet if the drawer the safe is kept in isn’t opened enough. The beep that sounds when you press a button is unreasonably *LOUD* so we disabled it by holding the ‘1’ key down for 4 seconds. It holds a 6” revolver and a full size semi-auto with a little room to spare for ammo + 1 clip. Regarding the other features of the safe, it’s heavy and solid, although I could probably pry it open with the right tools in 10 minutes. ![]() Results: There were zero failures: the programmed fingers opened the safe and the wrong ones didn’t. If we discovered any inaccuracies, the safe would go straight back into the box and returned to Amazon. So after reading the instructions thoroughly (they are short, well-written, and provide steps to ensure the accuracy of the fingerprint reader), during and after we programmed each adult member of the family’s fingerprints (index and thumb of both hands), we tested the reader repeatedly vs programmed fingers, the same person’s other fingers, and the fingers of our unauthorized kids. Helpful review: "We bought this safe with concern having read a number of reviews reporting that the fingerprint reader allowed people who had never programmed their fingerprints to open the safe. I could place my finger 90 degrees from where I registered it, and it would still read it. I tried with wet fingers as well (Dipped them in water and immediately went to the safe) Still worked great! The biggest surprise to me is that my finger didn't have to be in the same orientation when registered. on the couple mis reads, I lifted and replaced the same finger and it would pop right open. It only worked for my prints, and FAST! I mean it would open in less than a second 99% of the time. I promptly registered ALL of my fingerprints and had my whole family try to get into it using their un-registered fingers. The directions were easy to set up for the fingerprint reader, and the 4 digit code lock. I received it only 2 days after placing the order, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the build on this safe. Helpful review: "I was skeptical at first to buy a biometric gun safe from amazon, but I figured for half the price of the name brands I could at least check it out and return it if it wasn't what I wanted. ![]()
