Poorly built, barely functional, avoid at all costs

by Caleb, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on December 8, 2021
Extremely loose fit & finish, built of cheap sheet metal and even worse fasteners.

Lacks any sort of holes / ability to secure in place (apart from an awkwardly placed, obnoxious cable)

Battery compartment door broke during installation, springs for latching / unlatching of mechanism barely worked.

Safe would often not latch until shut 3-4 times, and the biometric reader often took multiple attempts to open.

Only rated 1/5 because there is no lower option.
Pros:
  • None that I could find.
Cons:
  • Every possible quantifiable feature.
Best Used for:
  • paper weight
Would recommend: No

Ill-fitting hardware

by Snowman, from VA, United States Written on September 11, 2013
NEGATIVES: Sloppy hardware fit compared to larger Barska safes. (1) Hinge is loose so the lid moves 2+ mm sideways, and the lid can be pried open with a finger to give a heavy tool leverage to break the lid off. I had expected the lid to close tight and snug. (2) The lid rattles. An adhesive weather strip takes are of this rattle. (3) The battery holder is loose in its compartment so that it rattles loudly. A foam pad stuffed inside the battery compartment prevents this rattle. (4) Sharp edges in the security cable end will scratch content in lock box. Electrical tape will prevent scratches. (5) There is apparently no way to silence the alarm sound like one can do with the small Barska biometric safes. POSITIVES: Electronics seem to work reliably and as a charm.
Pros: Good electronics
Cons: Battery holder rattles; hinge is loose
Would recommend: Yes
