If you own a handgun and there are children in your household, the Barska Biometric Safe could be the ideal solution. This safe only allows registered people access to the contents. This is achieved by the use of the Biometric Pad that can be programmed to recognise your fingerprints and will allow entry in about 3 seconds. The advantage of this system is because you do not require a key, there is no need to worry about finding it in an emergency, no need to fiddle with the lock, trying to fit the key. The Biometric Safe can even be opened in the dark. Imagine trying to remember a combination number if you are panicking - no need.

Considering the size of the safe, it will accommodate a surprising amount of firearms and valuables. Reviews from owners state that it will house two guns with ammo and several spare magazines along with other valuables and documents,
One of the features is a beep when the safe is opened. This appears to be quite controversial with quite a few reviewers. Many said they would like to disable it, and some have gone to the trouble of disconnecting the buzzer. Just be aware this is in breach of the warranty terms. The positive reason for having the buzzer, is that it will sound with any attempt to open the safe, and if for any reason the safe door is left open for more than a minute, the alarm will sound continuously until it is closed.
