What it is

A slider handgun safe, model Gen X. The drawer slides out of the side, with room for a handgun and a slot for a spare magazine.

Your fingerprint, a 3–6 digit code or a backup key opens it.

Power and backup

It runs on new AA alkaline batteries, in the compartment on its side. Don’t use rechargeable batteries, and don’t mix old and new.

When the batteries run low it beeps three times as it opens, so replace them soon. The two backup keys open the emergency lock.

Shipping and returns

Free standard shipping to U.S. addresses. Express is $15.

Order by 5 PM CST (UTC−6) on a business day and it ships that day by USPS. Delivery takes 3–5 business days after dispatch, estimated.

Returns: ask within 30 days of delivery. The safe must be unused and in its original packaging. We send a return label once we accept the return. Return policy.

Safe questions

How do I open it?

With an enrolled fingerprint, your 3–6 digit code or one of the two backup keys.

How many fingerprints does it hold?

Up to 30. Enroll your main finger more than once, at different angles, for a better read.

What if someone keeps guessing?

Three wrong codes or five wrong prints lock the keypad for a minute and sound the alarm.

What happens when the batteries run low?

It beeps three times as it opens. Fit new AA alkaline batteries soon, and keep a backup key somewhere other than the safe.

Can I turn the beeps off?

Yes. Hold 4 for five seconds. Do it again to turn them back on.

Will my handgun fit?

Can I store a loaded handgun in it?

No. Store your handgun unloaded, as the manual says.
