  • Easy to program, mount, and use. Well-written instruction manual.
Style: SE20 (Slider Safe)
I purchased this safe after first trying a less expensive brand of the same style of safe that was of pretty low quality. The less expensive brand drained its four AAA batteries very quickly, the biometric scanner was too unreliable to use, and the drawer wasn't strong enough to fully open with an all-steel government 1911 in it. I like the simplicity of this Vaultek, as I don't need a biometric scanner, wi-fi, or bluetooth. It comes with a well-written instruction manual, and is easy to program, mount, and use. I do like that it has a proximity sensor that lights up the keypad when you get your hand close, which the other safe didn't have. I also like that it comes with what Vaultek says is a four-month rechargeable battery that you don't have to remove from the safe to recharge; just use the plug at the back of the safe. Vaultek says that this one is large enough to hold a full-size 1911, which it is and the drawer is strong enough to fully open. However, if your 1911 has a flared magwell and a bump pad on the magazine, it won't fit. Another reviewer said that he just takes his magazine out and stores it separately in the safe, and indeed my government 1911 with the flared magwell and no magazine does fit. All my government 1911s have flared magwells and bump pads on their magazines, so I might have been inclined to give it four stars. However, I have a commander-sized bobtail 1911 with a flush-fit magazine, so I just put that one in this safe with plenty of room that makes it easy to remove. I don't really care much which 1911 goes in this safe and which ones go in the closet safe; but I guess it would be nice if this safe was just a bit larger to fit all my 1911s. Overall though I'm very pleased and I give it five stars! ... show more

  • The fastest way to access your home defense firearm in the dark
Style: SE20 (Slider Safe)
Let me tell you why I love the VAULTEK Essential Series Quick Access Handgun Safe. Top Reasons 1) 5 button, easy to program code. The plus is that they are real buttons so you can feel them in the dark AND you can feel when a button is pressed so you know you got the code in. There is no time for fussing with your code when it counts. 2) Auto Lighting - in addition to the benefits of real buttons, it also has autosensing lights that 1) light up the keys when your hand gets near it and 2) light up your firearm once the door slides open. The lights are the perfect brightness for you to access your firearm, but not overlight the room. 3) Super simple, versatile and removable mounting - It mounts on either side of the vault so you can choose left facing or right facing mounts. It looks and feels like a super precision cut - the spec are tight and smooth. You can mount on a wall, a door, a file cabinet, a desk and more. Wherever there is a vertical surface that best fits your needs. The mounting bracket is engineered very well to effortless slide the vault on and off of 4 solid locking connectors with ease once you open the vault. This means you could pop the safe off the bracket, throw it in your bag and hit the range. Since it's mounted with several heavy screws into the studs it would take a ton of effort to remove the vault without the combo or key. 4) Super cushiony firearm insert with extra mag slot - I easily fit my full sized Sig P220 with a railed flashlight into the foam. It fits perfectly and full size Glocks, 1911s and Berettas fit as well because the foam is forgiving. 5) Slim design - even though it looks like a tough 1 gun safe, it is low profile and optimizes every square inch so there is no wasted space. It has a nice finish and tucks away out of site. 6) Feedback lights - the safe will tell you if someone tampered with it. So you'll know if someone has been messing around where they shouldn't have been. 7) Rechargeable and upgradable battery included - takes 1 included rechargeable battery, not 4 AAAs or 4 AAs. According to the instructions you can leave it plugged in if you want. It also gives feedback when the battery needs to be recharged. 8) Smooth operator - once you plug in your code the door smoothly slides open and that little light turns on in seconds giving you instant access. 9) I've compared this with several less expensive models and nothing compares in the breadth and depth of features that matter and reliability. ... show more

  • Vaultek- Safe & Secure!
Style: VE20 (Compact Safe)
Waited almost 2 months to give myself adequate time to use the safe before leaving a review. Purchased the VT20 Series Essential safe for my handguns and more importantly to keep them secure from others in my home. Opted not to purchase the biometric and bluetooth model only as I wanted to keep it simple plus save a few bucks. Summary: First I want to state that the quality and structure of the safe serves & fits it's purpose. Is it going to be bullet proof or impossible for the bad guys to break into or easily grab your safe with contents if your home is broken into? The answer is probably! If you're looking for that heavy duty fort knox bullet proof safe option than none of these type of safe security options including all the other manufacturers will satisfy your needs. Review: So far no issues to report after nearly almost 2 months of use. I'll randomly check battery levels and so far still at full strength. No issues whatsoever with keypad lighting pads and door quickly opens using my stored code, zero malfunctions. I like how the keypad lights upon your hand getting close to the keypad, input code and click the top door or lid opens. My only gripe is the lid opens to quickly with enough force to move the safe a bit. Might be a future enhancement but not a deal breaker. The brightness of the interior lighting assists with viewing your stored content. Wish they would position the lightning in each corner or include lights in both the top and bottom or left and right inner panel areas. When my handguns are placed in the safe the majority of the light can be easily blocked but still able to view contents in a dark environment. I'm currently storing my Glock 19 and Glock 26 with 1 extra mag for each handgun. It's a perfect fit with no issues closing the safe lid. My Vaultek came in black with the red branded logo where I also see other models in gray with silver logo, not sure if this is an older generation product (different features or design?) but not a huge issue if it's only cosmetic or appearance related. The interior is well padded and the included cable is long enough to serve it's purpose in my home. I may move this to my nightstand in the future and look into the MX series next since I plan on purchasing a few more handguns in the upcoming months. Overall a sturdy, good looking and reliable product and I will recommend Vaultek products to others! ... show more
