Safeguard Your Guns with a Biometric Gun Safe


Safeguard Your Guns with a Biometric Gun Safe

So you purchased a gun. And you are aware of the importance to keep the weapon in a safe place. Before you hit the stores and start shopping for a gun safe, consider getting a gun safe with a biometric (fingerprint) lock?

How Does a Biometric Hand Gun Safe work?

Biometric Gun Safe
Biometric handgun safes are using state-of-the-art technology to keep your guns from unauthorized access. The term ‘biometric’ refers to the locking mechanism of the safe. Instead of using a key or number combination or dials, a biometric gun safe uses your fingerprints to identify you.

That means you never have to worry about forgetting your PIN number or passcode anymore. This is especially useful in stressful emergency situations, such as a home invasion, where fast access to you gun safe is crucial. No fumbling for keys, no worries about remembering the correct password or passcode to open the safe.

I’m sure you’re seeing the benefit of using a biometric gun safe by now.

Shopping Tips for Biometric Gun Safes

Here are a number of things to look for when shopping for a biometric gun safe.

  • A spring-loaded door can be very useful for quick access after you swiped your finger over the fingerprint reader.
  • Another useful feature (a must in my opinion) is an audio and/or LED low battery warning. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you can’t open the biometric lock because the battery died.
  • Check if the gun safe has an emergency backup key – just in case.
  • Some gun safes come with a courtesy interior light. Definitely a useful feature, especially when you need to access the contents of the safe in the night or under circumstances where you aren’t able to switch on the light.
  • For added security, make sure the hinges are concealed. Also, make sure the safe has a felt lining (or similar material) keeps your valuable arms from getting scratched.
  • Check the product description if the mounting equipment is included in the purchase. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you have to go out again and find the right mounting brackets and bolts. Also, check if the gun safe comes with pre-drilled holes for mounting it on a wall etc.

Conclusion

A biometric fingerprint gun safe is by all means the most secure way to store you valuables and your guns in particular. It brings you peace of mind that only you and authorized persons have access to the contents of your safe. No worries that children can gain access to your handguns. At the same time you know you can grab you gun fast in case of emergency.
