Unreliable keypad...unsupportive company
I purchased this gun safe in March 2012 and as of June 1st, have had the keypad malfunction ~5 times. The malfunction is sporadic and unpredictable. Upon entering the 6-digit code (at least 6-digits are required), the keypad begins rapidly beeping and will not stop until I unlock the safe with the key and remove the batteries. I have contacted the company about the problem and have been completely ignored. I DO NOT recommend this safe.
Nice safe for the price
As many other reviewers point out for this and other budget safes, this is not buglar proof, but it is a good storage box to keeps kids aways from guns, etc. There are a couple items, but none worth docking the safe for including:
The safe is actually 12 3/16" maybe 12 1/4" wide, but definitely not 12"... This might sound immaterial and it is, unless you are trying to fit it in a space that is 12 1/8" wide. I found a different location, but a small bummer.
The buttons are loud. You are announcing to the whole floor that you are accessing a safe. I have not figured out how to disable or mute them yet and I am not sure I want to (see keypad lag below). Instead I find myself using the key half the time when I want to keep it quiet.
I have had the safe for about a month and have never had a problem with it opening from the keypad (pretty regular use), except when I type in the code wrong. Unfortunately the key pad only allows you to type so fast and...
Horrible security
If you tap the top of the safe while trying to open it 3-4 times, it'll pop open without any code entered at all. I saw this on YouTube ([...]) and tried it out. Unfortunately, I could reliably get it to open easily every time that I tried.
