RPNB Mounted Gun Safe,California DOJ Certified Handgun Safe, Auto Open Lid Smart Pistol Safe with Biometric Fingerprint or Keypad Lock

The media could not be loaded. It works well.Mounting it is a PITA as you have to access screws inside the box to mount it.Also changing the batteries is a PITA as it's awkward to reach into the box to get at the battery, and it's halfway in the box.Having said that, of course the mounting and battery compartment should be INSIDE the box. But just pointing out it's a bit of a pain for when you mount it and when you have to change batteries.It also comes with a round lock. I'm sure people will say that any good thief can easily pick any lock or defeat any electronic lock. Yes, sure, so concealment of the safe is important. However it will definitely keep visitors from opening it. And especially children who are over will not open it. You can teach your own kids gun safety, but you can't teach every friend who comes over. Also you want it to be discrete anyway so they shouldn't stumble on it, even if they are playing hide and seek and thing hiding behind your bed is a good idea.I added a video so you could hear that even with the button beeps off, the opening mechanism is not silent, it makes a whirring sound. Not a huge deal.It opens fast, as you can see.Punching in the wrong combo locks you out for a short time (less than a minute)What I don't like is that at the front the RPNB logo is very shiny and makes it obvious. Not that everyone knows what RPNB means, but the shininess does draw your eye to the logo and thus the safe.I colored mine in with a black sharpy, but since it is sort of embossed onto a small plate it's still visible. Some electrical tape would fix that.All in all, it does what it's supposed to. Allow you to store a pistol discretely and safely. It is CA DOJ approved too, so that's nice considering the new safe storage laws coming into effect in California in 2025.I don't know if it's visible in my video, but I found that after mounting the safe, there was a bit of wiggle between the safe and the mounting plate. I fixed that by cutting a piece of the shipping box that the safe came in and crammed it next to the safe. A temporary fix made permanent.

After receiving this mounted gun safe, the first impression was "stability". The entire box gives a very solid impression. The thick steel plate and the sturdy frame make it firmly fixed to the wall. The interior space layout is reasonable and suitable for storing pistols and some accessories. Its manufacturing quality is reflected in every detail, from the fasteners to the internal padding, all demonstrating the manufacturer's dedication. In terms of opening, I chose the fingerprint lock model. After fingerprint input, the recognition speed is very fast and the success rate is also very high. Even in a tense state, it can be easily opened.

The build quality of this safe is good for its price range, with solid steel plates and decent workmanship. Ease of opening, whether it is a combination lock or fingerprint lock, the opening is very smooth, no lagging feeling. Fingerprint recognition is highly accurate and responsive. Password setting and modification is also simple and convenient. On the whole, the quality is reliable, the opening is convenient, and the cost performance is very high, which is a good choice for users with limited budget.

First of the negatives. 1. The other reviewers pointing out the difficulty of installing the internal screw were spot on. I ended up filing out the hole in the case to allow the screw hole to line up and not bind up the screw. Poorly engineered. Adding a bit of space towards the bottom helped 2. After it was mounted it wobbled, especially when it was opening, as there was excess space between the mounting bracket and the case. I installed felt spacers on the case to fill the space and stop the wobbling, again poorly engineered. 3. The mounting screw seem a bit on the light side when it comes to securing the case to the mount. I'm sure it wouldn't take much of a pry bar to rip the case off the bracket. Think using 4 or more of those screws would have been a bit more secure.The good: 1. Fingerprint works almost everytime. 2. Keypad is a great option and works everytime. 3. Plenty of room for a fullsize pistol. 4. Multiple mounting options with the bracket are very convenient. 5. Case works great as a bedside mount.Seems solid built. Not sure how long the batteries will last but with a key as back up I'm fine. I think all in all when on sale, 20% off, this was a great purchase. At full price I might still buy it. Will come back in 6 months and update.

Its fingerprint recognition technology is very advanced, which can identify fingerprints quickly and accurately, and it can also store multiple fingerprint information for your family's convenience. What's more, this gun case is very well made. Every detail is handled very well, the box has tight seams and a strong and reliable lock, which gives people a very safe feeling. It is also very easy to install with detailed installation instructions and all necessary installation accessories.
