1.0 out of 5 stars Utterly unreliable piece of garbage, January 8, 2009

I'm happy and amazed that the other reviewer has had good success with his biometric Wall Vault - but I've had nothing but frustration for the past year. I've reprogrammed and reset this device endlessly, and sometimes it seems like it's working reliably. But sure enough, the next time I need access it won't let me in. More often than not, I've had to retrieve the emergency key and use that to get into my safe. As I said, I've reset the thing and started fresh many times, so it's not as if I just did a poor initial fingerprint registration.

If you want to throw the dice and see if this works for you, good luck. But UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU USE THIS SAFE FOR A GUN OR ANY OTHER ITEM YOU MAY NEED QUICK ACCESS TO.

I would recommend the presumably-much-more-reliable keypad combination version of this safe, if you like the "wall vault" concept but don't want to risk the crappy technology of the biometric reader.

Incidentally, I use an eKey fingerprint reader to get into my front door, and it's proven to be extremely reliable -- so there are good fingerprint readers on the market, but the biometric Wall Vault is not one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick to open, reliable fingerprint recognition., August 22, 2008

I've bought one of these so far and have a bid on another. I paid less than $400.00 dollars for my first brand new one and though I wouldn't pay more than $400.00 dollars for one, I do recommend this product. It can easily be covered with a painting or other wall covering if you want it hidden. If you require fast access to a fire arm or other small item, then this product is for you. I've looked at other wall safes, especially biometric access and this one seems to be one of the fastest and most reliable. It's also not as noisy as some others. Though it does make noise when the door slides open. It opens by gravity, so it needs to be vertical.

I'm going to add other wall safes to my home, but this is the one that will be in my bedroom for the things that go bump in the night.

The unit is as advertised. Installed per directions, no problems. The fingerprint sensor, like all the others I have used, tends to have its' own personality so I had to practice with it over several days to get it to open within the first two seconds. Even if the sensor does fail due to nerves or panic etc. the keypad is right there. Excellent product.
