Should have gotten a keycode larger safe. - Barska Large Biometric Rifle Safe

I've been waiting months to get one of these. Finally got it last night, and promptly installed it in the closet so I could FINALLY leave my defensive weapons loaded.

First off, the build quality is atrocious. These are made in CHINA, and it shows. The item arrived with 3 paint chips, and the weld seams are very porous. I swear it looks like it is made of pot metal.

It comes with a two pistol adjustable rack in the door (nice bonus), but the door is so absurdly narrow that full size pistols don't fit! I was able to fit one FS to the inside and a compact to the outside, but the FS clears by about a millimeter if you open/close slowly.

For now I have three pistols and a shotgun (defensive barrel) in there. I have a few more rifles to add later. The bottom shelf is in the way of using the rifle rack. The shotgun barely clears the lower top shelf (there are two up there). A standard rifle would not fit without removing the shelves it seems. I have not looked into whether the shelves are adjustable yet. One other note is that the door simply does not open wide enough. The thickness of the door is still obstructing the opening when wide open. It makes it even more awkward to get a rifle or shotgun out of the safe than it already is.

Now for the good: the biometrics work very well.I programmed 6 fingers each for me and my wife, and all work great. fingers that aren't programmed. The door does have ample locking bolts and is quite secure from "quick and dirty" prying.

Bottom line: I could have bought a much larger digital safe for less money than I paid for this. The build quality is extremely subpar. For that reason alone I cannot recommend this product unless you absolutely positively have to have biometric access.
Pros: biometric works very well
Cons: build quality is crap. Door opening is tiny.
