5.0 out of 5 stars A great value as a wall mounted gun safe - here are tips to make it better, June 6, 2011

Customer Video Review Length:: 1:14 Mins

I won't go on for too long about what a great value this is. Solid construction, easy operation, and quick access.

Here are a couple tips to make it more secure and quicker to access:

1) Drill a couple holes, one near the middle of the top long side and the other near the middle of the bottom long side. That allows you to secure this to a wall stud so it's really secure.

2) Mount it upside down. Why, you ask? Watch the video and see.

Bottom line: perfect to mount somewhere to have a handgun securely stored and immediately available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Safe storage for any valuable item, April 4, 2010

What comes in the box

4 AA Batteries
2 keys
Case

Construction

This is a solid and relatively, heavy case comprised of thick steel. The finish is a matte black. The keypad is plastic and takes a 4 to 8 number combination. A key cover houses the keyhole so it has a dual capability for access. A small handle allows you to lift the door open.

This unit is mountable, if you wish, and comes with the necessary hardware for that purpose (I chose not to mount this).

Use

Simply enter your code, turn the knob and lift the door. If you have 3 unauthorized codes this unit will lock you out.

This case is sturdy with 2 pins that keep any unwanted people from prying this open. It fits easily into a medium sized drawer. Setting the code is easy: Simply push the red button after you open this and push the desired code. One major bit of importance, if you need a spare key or the code, you need a copy of your receipt.

This fits 2 compact revolvers and a Compact Semiautomatic Pistol well. However, with storage, its depth does not allow for trigger locks to be installed on the firearms.

There is a foam pad that is removable; however, the sides are not padded.

Pros

Solid construction
Dual access
Mountable

Cons

Shallow
Plastic keyboard and front cover

Conclusion

This is an excellent case for your valuables or any other item that needs to be limited in access.

Update:

1/18/2012

I use this to store my pistols in the Concealed Carry Rotation. It will accommodate for full sized firearms but you have to be careful not to scratch your gun. It will easily store a Baby Glock and Snubnosed Revolver, or a 1911 and subcompact. It can fit a Colt Python or Smith and Wesson Model 627 but it will have trouble with a second pistol. I have only had to change the batteries once since I bought it. I am extremely pleased that it has held up so well through the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, December 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stack-On PDS-500 Drawer Safe with Electronic Lock (Tools & Home Improvement)
As a customer who has a Stack-On wall locker, I was expecting the same type of sheet metal construction. However, this safe is the real deal. It is solid metal constuction with a beefy door. And two 3/4" locking pins. I have not mounted this yet, but be careful if mounting in an upright position. This was made to bolt into a drawer, so pay attention to how the door will open. Anyway, I had it out of the box and into operation in under two minutes. I was hesitant to get a battery operated safe, but with the back-up key feature, my mind was put at ease. The instructions could use pictures as I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to access the hidden keyhole. In short this is a great, sturdy safe that is perfect for keeping my CCW out of the reach of the kids while still being easily accesible to mommy and daddy. I liked it so much and thought it was a great price, I picked one up for my dad who recently purchased his first gun and worries because he has 13 grandkids running around the house at any given time.
