Safest pistol safe on the market

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…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • The Bluetooth connection can drain the battery on connected devices

Perfect Quick Access & Portable Gun Safe with Modern Technology is Finally Available!

I found this safe after seeing it on Hickok45's YouTube channel looking for quick access safes because we have an 8 month old daughter now who is starting to crawl and attempting to stand on her own and we can't just leave our firearms out any longer. Originally I was considering the SpeedVault Biometric but then I saw this one which isn't bulky and heavy and doesn't have to be fastened to something like the SpeedVault. One feature immediately different is that the Vaultek Biometric safe also…

Pros
  • Security & Surveillance
Cons
  • The safe does not come with any mounting hardware or instructions

Amazing In Every Way But Size

I've owned a fair number of dedicated handgun safes over the years. This will likely be the second-to-last one I'll ever buy.First, the package. This thing is *heavy*. Some of this is the electronics, but it's nonetheless a lot of steel in a small frame. Supposedly it's the same thickness steel as in GunVault products (16 gauge) but it subjectively feels like a denser, meatier safe. It's black, with a not-unattractive powder coat finish and an understated VaultTek logo on the lid, and lighted…

Pros
  • ‎Carbon Steel
Cons
  • The auto-open lid can be slow to respond or malfunction

Keypad/Program not working

UPDATE: My initial review was 3 stars, I am now changing to 4 stars due to the customer service support I received. Vaultek customer support ended up sending me a replacement VT20i and provided a return (No cost) label to send the faulted one back. I understand that nothing is perfect with products so the way a companies follow on support is vital to me. Vaultek did a good job in that area.INITIAL COMENTS: I read the reviews and noted several comments concerning problems with the electronics. I

Pros
  • Biometrics

Good With Some Catches

Bought this for a 9mm pistol and it works just fine. It’s really well made and looks nice (if it matters to you - which it might if you have this on a nightstand or dresser). It’s also relatively easy to set up.Biometric fingerprint scanner is flakey. This is not my first pistol safe so I can reasonably say that most fingerprint scanners are flakey. But you have a keypad and manual key to open it. If you are buying this partly for quick access in a self defense situation, I’d practice getting…

Pros
  • TOUGH AND RUGGED HEAVY-duty 16-gauge carbon steel construction with a durable finish preventing corrosion and ensures long lasting protection of your belongings for years to come. Anti-theft protection features anti-pry bars, patented two point anti-impact latches, interior mounted hinges, and a rugged unibody design for strength and durability.
Cons
  • The safe may be too small for users who want to store additional items with their handgun
