SF0104 Rifle Safe, 5 Long Gun Cabinet with Fingerprints

Shipping was fast. The packaging was excellent. It had cardboard-covered edges, plastic-covered corners and Styrofoam-covered sides. Mine came in perfect condition. The fingerprint reader works perfectly. Love that.

It's a pretty cool affordable safe. I primarily got it for my pistols and ammo . I guess I was expecting it to be a little more wider but I am satisfied. The only thing that bother me is that I wasn't able to put my echelon inside the pistol holder due to the length but overall I would buy another one. The lock mechanism is efficient.

Packaging was amazing, and came with no problems. Setup was extremely easy to follow and figure out.

It is not the thickest but definitely better than many of the cheap sheet metal ones you see from big chain stores.

The size is a bit tight, but it does in fact fit as described.

I recommend for the price and size.

This is the first rifle safe that I’ve ever bought, so maybe my expectations were too high. I was disappointed in the thinness of the side and back panels. Yes, the door seems nice and thick, but the sides and back seem like a thick locker material. However, the more I thought about it, I realized that this safe really isn’t meant to stop thieves, it’s meant to stop curious (and unwelcome) hands. A thief with a simple angle grinder will cut through the side in absolutely no time at all. So, for its intended purpose it’s fine. I like that it has 3 ways of opening, combination/fingerprint/key. Initially, I had issues setting up the fingerprint reader, but I emailed customer care, and they responded quickly and walked me through it. I took away a star for the thin metal, but I added a star for the excellent customer service.

There is some discussion about what qualifies as a gun safe. Another reviewer called this a gun-strong box and I think that's more accurate because the wall metal isn't particularly thick. But it does exactly what I need it to do - lock and prevent anyone from getting access without a protracted battle. But I'm confident my son can't get access. I primarily use the biometric function and I have to say, it's nice, but it's a little bit persnickety. I have another smaller safe that has a better reader (in that it is more forgiving on angle and pressure). I've found the best solution is to program many different prints of the same finger at different angles and different amounts of finger pressure. The more times you do the same finger, the more often it will open on the first try. This is the only "con" for me and it's manageable.
