Steel Construction and Coded Entry for Optimum Protection
Boasting Homak's patented design that offers optimum durability and security, the HS10036683 features heavy-duty powdered steel construction that resists wear and tear. This tough pistol box will prevent unauthorized access to your valuables, yet is easily accessible via a keyless quick-access code. Simply type in your personalized digits and the box will open.Protects Young Children
The HS10036683 is ideal for homes with young children. It allows adults quick and simple access to a handgun, yet it resists any attempts by curious children to open it. In fact, the unit will go into a timed lockout mode if the password is entered incorrectly too many times in a row. Theft-Proof, Patented Design
To help prevent thieves from prying open the unit, the HS10036683's door has rounded corners and it closes flush. Also, its small size allows for multiple mounting options, and the included rubber mat fits the interior to help prevent scuffs and scratches on the gun. And because the HS10036683 is battery powered, with battery terminals conveniently located on the front, you won't have to worry about a power outage cutting off access to your handgun.

Tommyboy's review is way too harsh.
Let's start with purpose. This safe is well-built and will keep most small children from finding harm. It's a fantastic compromise for guys like me who want to leave a ready handgun accessible to a wife at home, but don't want their kids stumbling across it. If a curious child were to find the safe, guessing is nearly impossible, as it will go into a timed "lockout" mode if the password is entered incorrect too many times in a row. The safe is made out of a respectable weight of steel and feels very solid, as far as steel safes go. If you have small kids at home, it's absolutely ideal.
Now, if you are the parent of a teenager who listens to a lot of goth and emo bands and spends a lot of time sitting around pulling the wings off of flies, stopping only to burn his or her arms with lit cigarettes, be mindful that any determined adolescent or adult could probably make small work of this safe with a pry bar or Dremel tool. The thing is steel. It's very well made for steel...and I dare say about as excellent as it gets for this type of lock box. But it's still "just" steel. So get your kid some Jesus, or find a better safe.
In small, consider your audience before you buy.
As far as features go, the locking mechanism feels solid to me. The door has rounded corners and is flush with the body of the safe, so there's small chance that anyone could pull it open (without some sort of lever) to defeat the lock. The battery terminals on the front of the unit are a nice way to circumvent a dead battery, also. It has a programmable password, which is nice. Finally, this unit includes some of that rubbery mat material. Know the stuff you place in your kitchen sink to keep your mats from slipping? Yea that stuff. So even though it is a steel box with limited space for padding, the included rubber mat is more than sufficient to keep your gun's end from getting scuffed or scratched if this box is stationary.
The only thing I would maybe change on this safe would be to add a backlight to the keypad. This just in: it's hard to see in the dark. And instead of simply numbering the pad 1-2-3-4-5, they labeled it H-O-M-A-K, making it more hard to mentally recall and "touch out" the key assignments. It can obviously be done, but if a person's life is in danger, this makes an unwelcome challenge. Poor brand placement there.
All in all, this is a fantastic steel safe. And if you sport sufficient gray matter to recognize steel's inherent limitations prior to buy, you will not be disappointed.

| A solid product that works as specified. Fits small and medium sized handguns. Large autos may fit (like my Beretta 92F) but are a small too tough to get in and out in a rush. Overall, I'm very pleased with it. |

| I bought not just a pistol safe, It is a Peace of Mind. It makes me feel secure, in my house having my pistol at hand and the kids not having any access to it. The safe have a connector in the front to place a 9v battery in case the main batteries fail. That is a nice feature. I bolted it to the wall. |
Perfect for my needs

I was hesitant to buy this due to mixed reviews, but I'm VERY glad I did. I installed it permanently on the wall, changed the code to something simple to use and it works perfectly for my needs.
If you want something that is secure from children/grandchildren yet gives you access to your pistol very quickly in an emergency then this is the item to get. It was on sale when I got it and the price was incredibly cheap for what I got (even the MSRP I reckon is very reasonable). |
