3.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly as advertised., July 18, 2009

The above description is more than a bit misleading concerning the security of the product against physical intrusion. The statement "Precise fittings are virtually impossible to pry open with hand tools" is false. The Gunvualt has approximately a 3/16" gap at the top of the door and 1/8" gap along the sides allowing it to be easily and quickly pried open with any small pry bar. If you are shopping for a product to protect your handguns (other valuables) from theft or fire, then this is not the product you need. A heavy floor safe with a combination lock is the best option for theft and fire protection.

If you want a product to secure a handgun from small children and still allow quick access when needed, then this should work fine. The programmable combination system works as described, and if used properly will keep young children out yet still allow access with the combination in seconds. The only practical function for this vault is keeping curious children out, and that is exactly what I purchased it for.

I am satisfied with this product since it meets my needs; however, it should also be noted that the shelf is positioned higher than is shown in the picture (might be a production change) and it is not adjustable. The capacity states two handguns but that is also a bit understated. One medium sized handgun (i.e. Beretta 92) and one compact auto or small frame revolver, with magazines and / or speed loaders, is a tight fit. Large frame revolvers may not fit at all depending on barrel length. A Ruger with a 7 1/2" barrel is a tight fit, and if you wish to keep you're handguns in a holster the clearance really becomes a problem. With this line of vaults it is best to underestimate what you plan on storing in them.

If purchased for firearm safety storage only, then this is a good bargain for the price.

Two stars off for the advertised statement being a bit misleading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy, especially if you've got kids, May 3, 2006

This is an absolutely awesome idea. It only takes a couple seconds to access your firearm yet it's completely secured from prying hands so you can leave it loaded safely. The molded channels facilitate the ability to unlock this safe by touch in low light conditions too. It has knockout holes in the bottom to permanently affix it to something solid if you wish an even higher level of security. If your gun isn't on your hip, it ought to be in one of these, particularly if you've got kids who might get a hold of it inappropriately.

This version is big enough to take two medium sized semi-automatics with an extra magazines or revolvers and speedloaders. You can also use one shelf for the gun and the other for your passport or other valuables you want readily available but don't use every day. If you use only one weapon, the bottom shelf is less likely to snag something when you remove it. You should, however, practice opening it and removing the weapon with an unloaded firearm several times before counting on it in an emergency. There's a bit of a trick to opening it smoothly and clearing the locking ring quickly but you can easily get the hang of it with a bit of practice.

One final caution: there is no weak battery warning. Be sure to check the operation monthly so that a dead battery won't leave you without access to your weapon when you really need it.

Highly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars The batteries lasted longer than the safe., October 1, 2009

By 

Dean (Twin Cities, USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased the "Deluxe Double." It worked well for 14 months--it was covered by a 12 month warranty. At that time the lock release activated by the keypad quit working. The keypad could not be used and it could only be opened with the key. The company said they would not repair the unit and offered to replace it for $80 plus shipping cost. They said they no longer service old units (14 months old?). For the price of this unit I expected it to last much longer. The company does not stand behind their product. The batteries lasted longer than the safe.
