Set up is a pain - The Headrest Safe Co. Gun Safes
by
EDC,
from PA, United States
Written on December 27, 2024
You're supposed to be able to use a key to open it if you loose a set screw and remove a knob. I backed the set screw all the way out and the knob still wouldn't come off. I didn't want to scratch it up prying, so I let that go. Next tried to program the fingerprint reader. They make you do it twice, for reasons never explained. The first time you set up a "Master" finger, which, despite the name, will not open the safe after you complete the second step. Next you have to use a different finger to set up the "User" print. Both steps are fussy, since you have to get 10 good reads for each finger, and not every press results in a read. It will time out if you take too long and you have to start over. Only after you get the fingerprint reader set up can you set up the keypad. I did both, but now the fingerprint reader opens to ANY finger, which is the factory default, so all my eftorts to program it didn't take. The numeric keypad works, though, so I must've done something right. Next you have to fit the headrest rods into your vehicle, which entails loosening four screws to adjust the width. You also have to choose among a bagful of adapters to find one that makes the rods fit snug. Fast forward to attaching the rods to the headrest. You have to fit and tighten two very short screws (so the plate in the safe fits snug to the bracket without the screws protruding). I found it all but impossible. I'm going to the hardware store to buy longer screws that I can actually work with, damned if they protrude out the bottom.
Pros:
Decent construction and capacity
Cons:
Very difficult to set up and install
Would Recommend:
No
