I read a lot of reviews on this and decided to pull the trigger. I am no stranger to gun safes/lockers. I was looking for something that would be strong/solid, but easy to move because I will be moving in the future to another state. I would rate this 3.5 stars but am giving it a generous 4 star review.The box arrived and my first impression was that it was pretty small. I had no problem getting it into the house, down the basement stairs and un-boxed by myself. It is fairly heavy but I can definitely move it.It comes with large bolts to use to attach to wall if desired, which is exactly what I will be doing. The locker is pretty small, states that it holds up 11 rifles? That depends on how they are stored. I have always stored mine barrel down which has always allowed me to get a lot more rifles in a safe than if they were stored stock down….which you’re not suppose to do anyway. I am waiting to retrieve my many rifles from another location before I test this out but am confident that I will be able to get 12 in there, maybe up to 15 with the barrels down. **update- barrel down and I can get 12-14 in but that is really squeezing them in….if you do stock down, depending on what you have, 8 or 9**There are pockets on the inside door for storage which is nice and will be used. There is a single shelf that I may need to remove because some of my rifles are on the long side, no big deal. And, there is a separate locking box at the top which takes a different key than the safe door ( 2 keys included for each lock, total 4 keys). That inner lock box is a bit of a joke with the lock use on it, it is extremely flimsy and any flat head screwdriver can EASILY pry it open!! I already did….too easy.The lock is definitely strong (for a locker) and a good deterrent! I have been in law Enforcement for well over 30 years and am content with it. Of course, this can be defeated but will take a little work and make a lot of noise. I made a very secure “gun room” with a metal, reinforced door and frame and reinforced walls. Also have video camera system with motion text alerts so all of these combined will certainly protect my investments quite sufficiently.Anything can be defeated, the key is to make it as difficult as possible for the bad guy because more times than not, they will give up and move on to someone else when they get panicked/ frustrated trying to get into something…..especially when they have to make a ton of noise and or spend more time and effort getting in.Special note, this DOES take batteries ( AA ) but it is listed ” Batteries Required? No” There is a battery compartment that slides out from top part of inside door which supplies power to the electronic fingerprint lock and digital combination. I don’t know why the seller lists this as batteries not required, unless you plan on only using the key which is silly.Now that I have stored everything and lockers are bolted into place, I paid a little more attention to the sturdiness. When I pull on the front handle, I can see the door bend a bit….it is thinner metal. It stays put bolted into the 2X6’s I have behind them so they won’t be moved. I know that with the tools I own, I could fairly easily get into these…thin metal is easy to cut. Also, when I set the combination for them, it does not allow you to also use the fingerprint feature, it appears that you have to use one or the other but can’t use both…..I tried….not a deal breaker.If you buy this locker and just place it in your home/garage without doing anything else, it’s fairly decent but the entire thing can easily be moved with 2 people or 1 person and a dolly, or just 1 stronger person so, be very smart with where and how you place it. If you don’t have a very secure room like I do, then invest more money into a much more worthy gun safe! This alone is vulnerable to being defeated with the right tools. I know I could get in with the tools I currently possess which are fairly common tools. Don’t let your guns get into the wrong hands!! This is NOT A GUN SAFE!! It is a gun locker marketed to be more like a safe, but it is not!! Metal is too thin and this is too light weight. Make certain with what you want to use for your weapons and or ammunition. [...]
