Review on VAULTEK VS20I Biometric Handgun Safe With Auto-Open Lid, Bluetooth 2.0 And Rechargeable Battery (Biometric) by Jason Marquez

Awesome product, super pleased with it! I scoured the internet looking for just the right pistol safe to keep my Glock 19 quickly accessible and locked away safely from children. Every time I found a safe that I thought was the winner, I'd find a video on YouTube of someone easily picking it with a paperclip, zip tie, or even just picking it up and dropping it down only a few inches off the floor and it popped open. The Vaultek VT20i is literally the ONLY pistol safe I could find that didn't have some sketchy flaw about it that made it unsafe. And let's be real people, if you can find a video in 30 seconds about how to pick a safe, so can your kids. The only video I found of someone breaking into this one was a grown man with a heavy duty wedge and sledge hammer who pried it open, but it took him nearly 10 minutes of serious pounding. That's just about as good as you can get I think. Very happy with this product, the battery is holding a full charge after I initially charged it and it's already been almost 2 months, the fingerprint reader is totally accurate, no false positives yet and the only times it hasn't read my fingerprint was when I held my finger totally wonky on purpose to see how I had to place it on the reader for an accurate read. My only complaint is regarding the app. I downloaded it and played with it, but ultimately deleted it because I didn't feel that it was secure enough. Once you put your password in, it takes awhile for the app to re-lock which to me makes it a risk. I wish it would lock immediately so I could then hand my son my phone to play with his apps without worry that he could pop open my gun safe through the app. Also, they have it set up with a pattern lock system which I really don't like. I would much prefer just to use the same numeric code I used on the safe itself. It would be one less thing to remember, and also every time I came up with a pattern that felt memorable to me, I felt like someone could easily guess it. Any kind of pattern that makes any sense, like a star or a square, would be easily hackable. The only solution is to make a totally random pattern but that feels difficult for me to remember. Again, I'd rather just use my numeric code that I programmed into the safe. But again, app aside, the safe itself is amazing and still has three different ways to access it without the app. Hoping Vaultek improves the app at some point but until then, I'll just pretend like it isn't there and enjoy the heck out of this awesome safe!
