Gary's Review of GunVault Bio Multi-Vault Biometric Pistol Safe
I recommend getting a safe with a regular keypad lock over this bio-metric safe, the GVB 2000. After setting this safe up, I found it very difficult to program in fingerprints, and, when using the safe I get a failure to open on almost every attempt, which requires me to make several attempts to open the safe. One reason I suspect for the failure is that with my pointer finger on the sensor button, it is quite a reach to touch the activating button which causes me to rotate my hand to reach that button. This is not due to my wife or me having extremely short fingers, we are average - the button is too far away with a pointer finger on the sensor.
Another problem issue I found is the 9 volt battery is not secured properly in the safe. The clip does not hold the battery securely and it falls down into the padding.
Also, the shelf is not very secure in the safe and can slide out with friction from the gun or whatever is on the shelf if you happen to slide the item out and not lift it off the shelf.
Last complaint. When the sensor does work and accepts the fingerprint, it still takes about 2 seconds for the safe to open, which seems like forever when waiting their in front of your safe.
A few positive notes, it does come with a nice template for drilling securing holes and three screws to use to secure it. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Overall, I am disappointed in this safe and wish I had purchased a regular keypad safe.
