VERPROOF Gun Safe Quick Access Handgun Firearm Safes for Pistols Drop Down Single Gun Safety for Nightstand Wall Mount Bedside Desk Vehicle Bed Personal Safe with Keypad Lock and Key Lock

This exact safe has been marketed/sold under many different brands for the past 10 years and that's a good thing. I had another "brand" of this exact model and after 9 years it started hesitating when trying to open it. Not what you want for this type of safe! Got 9 years out of the old one and that's a good run in anyone's book. So, I bought this one hoping it would match up with the old one's mounting bracket and it did. Perfect fit. As others have stated, the mounting hardware it comes with is junk. For mounting to a nightstand, through-bolt the large side of the bracket to the nightstand AND drive four screws through the top part of the bracket into the underside of the nightstand top. Just make sure to use short screws. That's not going anywhere. Also, if you have large hands they will not fit through the opening to secure the safe to the bracket unless you remove the bumper-spring thing (or wait to mount it) at the bottom where the door opens. The number combo version is full proof, unlike fiddly thumbprint readers. I like that you can shut the keypad beeps off. That's really good b/c this thing beeps LOUDLY. It's louder than your microwave when it finishes cooking. Not what you want when trying to quietly access your firearm. With the beeping turned off and fast hand to keep the door from slamming open, you can open this safe almost silently. It's made well, it's reliable and the mounting bracket system is stout, assuming you stoutly mount the bracket. Highly recommended.

I’ve been very happy with this handgun safe and, even more so, with the company behind it. My original unit eventually had an issue, and when I contacted customer support, they were responsive, professional, and resolved the problem quickly. They replaced the safe free of charge, no hassle at all. The replacement works perfectly and feels solid, secure, and well-made. It’s clear this company stands behind its product and genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. That kind of service is rare these days. Great product, great company. I would absolutely recommend this safe and would purchase from them again.

Update 2: CHECK BATTERY. I owe this product and company an apology. The safe has a safety feature that will not allow you to set the code if the 9V battery you are using is not super strong. I had a new battery I had used on first one- it allowed me to set the code and blinked all the right lights--- but then gave me a red blink when i entered the code I had set. The 2nd safe had the EXACT same issue. I emailed the company and they said that the blinking code meant the battery was not new. I was super skeptical (as it was a new battery) but I got another new 9V and the 2nd safe worked perfect. So did the first. Apparently the safe will not allow you to set a code unless the battery is in super good health. This is a safety feature to make sure you can access your firearm in an emergency without having to find the key. If you are having this problem (and I know several are) get another new 9V and try it again. Old UPDATE: I had them ship a replacement- exact same issue. They are shipping faulty products. The pin pad does not work and it will not remember a set pin. Really dangerous. Original: I am having exact same issue as multiple others reported. Set the code. It verifies it is set correctly, then doesn’t recognize the code. Not sure if the whole lot is faulty, or they just keep reselling the ones sent back. But super easy to check for this issue prior to shipping, therefore, I dont trust this safe or company. Beware. Sent back and will try different manufacturer.

Instructions leave a little bit to be desired. Numbers on the buttons could be highlighted in white instead of being black like the rest of the button. Button on the inside of the case to be pushed to scan finger prints is almost inaccessible. Recommend you program finger prints before attaching the safe.

New out of the box, installed brand new batteries, door did not open with default code. Programmed my new code, door still did not open. Needed to use the key to open the door which 100% negates the purpose of the safe. I thought it needed the weight of the pistol for it to drop open so I tried that. Still did not work. I can hear the motor trying to cycle the latch inside but it does not open the door. It does not drop open, and can not manually pull it open after entering the code. Would not trust it in an emergency. Returned this and will go with a different company product.

Looks and feels like a quality product. It will work well for the space I plan to install it.
