Safe and sound - Barska Standard Biometric Gun Safe

The safe is well built. A couple notes...When programming the safes fingerprint log in. You want to make sure your finger is in a recognizable place on the pad. Meaning you have to be consistent where your finger is placed on the pad in order for the safe to recognize the reading. But after repeatedly practicing placement of the finger and practiced opening it for a couple months. I now have the hang of it. Secondly , and I do not know this for a fact. I wipe the glass after each use as your fingerprint does get left behind. From what I'm told if done right and wearing the proper gloves. Someone can open the devise by just activating the sensor by using the previous persons fingerprint reading, and that's something I want to be aware of when closing the safe up. I cant confirm this as of now but I leave a lens cleaner cloth next to the safe. What I like about the safe is if you leave the safe open for longer than about three or four minutes and also if not locked... the safe chirps, reminding you that the safe is still open. I think this is a very smart feature. Particularly if you were going in the safe for other documents and forgot to close it. Lastly, having three ways of opening the safe is a nice option. Biometric, key code and finally a key. which is important as the safe needs batteries to operate the locking mechanism. If batteries go dead you will need the key to open it. overall I like the product and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid reliable safe.
