Viking Security SafeVS-35BLA Heavy Duty Biometric Fingerprint LCD Keypad Safe

So after a recent break in I am planning on buying a small gun for protection (and for fun) but I do have three kids so before a gun purchase of course I needed to purchase a safe that the kids could not get in.I knew I needed a safe that could hold a small gun but I was not even sure what gun I wanted, so the size of the safe needed to be somewhat large. The safe also had to be easy to open in an emergency so I was looking for something with biometrics. As I started researching guns safes it became apparent that this safe seemed to be the one for me. Cost was low, quality seemed high, and the safe was much bigger then I needed.Well I am very glad that I decided to buy this safe. The quality is very high and impressive, if this safe cost twice as much I would have been happy with the quality. It is going to take a great amount of force and work to open this safe without the code/finger/key. So I am very happy on that front. I noticed one reviewer stated his/her door was not flush, this was not the case for my safe, it was built perfectly.The keypad works great but what works even better then the keypad is the fingerprint scanner, which impressed me greatly. The instructions recommend you take a few scans of your fingerprint to ensure it opens every time. Well even with just one fingerprint stored it opened every time I used it (about 15 to 20 attempts). I currently have three fingerprints stored and it has NEVER failed to open. I was getting worried that is was opening too well so I had my kids and wife try to open it just to be sure. It never opened for them. I am truly impressed with this safe.The safe itself has plenty of room for multiple guns, ammo, and other items you would like to store. The internal shelf is a great add-on and the carpet inside is also great. The internal light does a good job lighting the safe up. I love the fact it tells me the battery level so you have time and know when you need to replace it, a nice feature indeed.Overall I am so glad I got this safe. Looking at the price and what I got, I can't find one thing wrong with this safe.

Great safe. I looked at all of the reviews before purchase and was skeptical because of the complaints regarding programming. You have to follow the instructions exactly. At first I had some issues with the keypad. Once I went back through and paid attention to detail within the instructions I had no issues. The keypad works flawless with only the new code I entered. The fingerprint worked just as well. Follow the instructions and add your fingerprint multiple times at different angles. It allows 32 fingerprints. This allows for quick access if your fingerprint is at a different angle. I entered my keypad code and fingerprint more than 100 times to test for errors. I received no errors with 100 percent accuracy. I believe people who have had issues did not follow the instructions. I would suggest adding small led motion lights from Amazon and placing one or two on the side rails. The internal led light is not very bright.

This is a wonderful safe that allows quick access with either your fingerprint (biometric) or a personal code. The fingerprint reader is excellent and easy to set-up and use. You can store multiple different fingerprints as well (i.e. spouse, kids, etc.). The battery life and mechanics of this safe will meet your needs for years to come. I've had my safe since 2019 and have not had any issues. Be sure to hide your safe key in a place you can remember if you ever need to reset things back to factory settings.
