RPNB Mounted Gun Safe,California DOJ Certified Handgun Safe, Auto Open Lid Smart Pistol Safe with Biometric Fingerprint or Keypad Lock

I really appreciate the mounting design of this pistol safe, which can be securely mounted in just a few simple steps. Increased gun safety. The design with biometric fingerprints gives me quick access in case of emergency, which is very practical. With quality like this, I feel like I'm getting my money's worth.

The media could not be loaded. It works well.Mounting it is a PITA as you have to access screws inside the box to mount it.Also changing the batteries is a PITA as it's awkward to reach into the box to get at the battery, and it's halfway in the box.Having said that, of course the mounting and battery compartment should be INSIDE the box. But just pointing out it's a bit of a pain for when you mount it and when you have to change batteries.It also comes with a round lock. I'm sure people will say that any good thief can easily pick any lock or defeat any electronic lock. Yes, sure, so concealment of the safe is important. However it will definitely keep visitors from opening it. And especially children who are over will not open it. You can teach your own kids gun safety, but you can't teach every friend who comes over. Also you want it to be discrete anyway so they shouldn't stumble on it, even if they are playing hide and seek and thing hiding behind your bed is a good idea.I added a video so you could hear that even with the button beeps off, the opening mechanism is not silent, it makes a whirring sound. Not a huge deal.It opens fast, as you can see.Punching in the wrong combo locks you out for a short time (less than a minute)What I don't like is that at the front the RPNB logo is very shiny and makes it obvious. Not that everyone knows what RPNB means, but the shininess does draw your eye to the logo and thus the safe.I colored mine in with a black sharpy, but since it is sort of embossed onto a small plate it's still visible. Some electrical tape would fix that.All in all, it does what it's supposed to. Allow you to store a pistol discretely and safely. It is CA DOJ approved too, so that's nice considering the new safe storage laws coming into effect in California in 2025.I don't know if it's visible in my video, but I found that after mounting the safe, there was a bit of wiggle between the safe and the mounting plate. I fixed that by cutting a piece of the shipping box that the safe came in and crammed it next to the safe. A temporary fix made permanent.

The fingerprint identification function of the safe is very convenient and safe in practical use. With its sturdy body and fine workmanship, this pistol safe is undoubtedly a good choice for home security. I am very happy to purchase it.

Thin but effective, is slight delay opening. But definitely does the job. Mounted to side of headboard of bed. Blue led light nice when opening in the dark not going to stop a thief. But will stop the kids and prying eyes.

The office is on the opposite side of the house from where my main safe is. This is exactly what I was looking for to give me quick access from my desk. Reasonably priced, I don't feel like there was any need to buy something more expensive.The reality of these small pistol safes are that its main purpose is to prevent someone from accessing the firearm like a child, friends or say a repair person who is allowed to be in your home. In no way would i expect the safe to prevent someone who breaks in from taking it, either opening it by force or taking the whole safe. So the overall sturdiness and locking function are more then enough for the purpose.The bracket allows for mounting on the left or right side of the safe. The bracket is a L shaped bracket and if you mount it in the corner/underside of your desk like pictured, it offers just enough space to fit your hand however not much room to visually see the number pad. I did feel like this would be an issue when initially installing the safe but turns out its just enough room to access the pad and open the safe by feel. As long as I keep up on the battery replacements I am confident it will be work when i need it.

They come in a beautiful, durable, sturdy box that works perfectly right out of the box. Built-in biometric (fingerprint) reader. Gun safes allow for easy and secure storage of firearms, ensuring that they are always available in the event of an emergency. Great construction very sturdy.
