Ratings & Reviews for SentrySafe Quick Access 1 -Gun Biometric Lock Gun case

Good value and great function

Super handy and QUICK to open. Love the fingerprint function and also the ability to have more than one print as well as a PIN code option. Solid construction.

Quality

Heavy built and works as advertised. Gas cylinder replaced recently has been my only issue.

Great product! Very impressed.

This safe is awesome! I have it bolted to the floor of my truck, where I can quickly access it, but if a thief breaks my window to get in the vehicle, they will have a very difficult time getting this safe open or remove it. It opens dependably and quickly and fits my self defense pistol and wallet/cash nicely. Great product! (After a few years the gas strut is needing replaced, but that is acceptable "wear and tear" over time.)

Good for home use.

Good for keeping a pistol at easy reach in case of emergency while keeping it secure from children. Design flaws are exploited in videos online showing how to defeat the lock. Most every criminal element will watch these videos. Easy to program the biometrics and change personal codes.

Defective Strut

The gal I spoke with took great care of me and resolved my issue right away.

Strong Safe/Weak Gas Strut

The safe works fine. The biometric sensor does not always recognize my fingerprint so I just use the combination. The gas strut leaked out so I ordered a new one. A year or two later that one had also leaked out. I replaced the weak spring with one that is heavier and longer so it opens without gas in the strut. Problem solved. It's better to replace that spring up front than to find out the hard way, when you really need the lid to pop open. To open with a failing gas strut, turn the box over. ...

Gas Strut is faulty :(

I purchased this safe to keep my firearm out of reach from my children. I left it in the box unopened for about a year, until I purchased my firearm. When I opened the box for the first time, the gas strut that opens the lid would not work. I contacted the company to see what the warranty of the safe is, and if it was out of warranty to check and see if I could purchase a new strut. I have not heard anything back from them.

Love the biometric pistol safe feature.

Love the biometric feature but keep override key in failsafe place as the safe batteries do wear out!

Strut gone bad

Like many others, I experienced the issue of the bad strut. I have to lean my safe to the side to open the door because the strut doesn’t work at all. Given the numerous complaints about the issue, it’s clear that there should have been some type of recall. I definitely won’t be buying a Sentry Safe on my next purchase.

Magnet?

This has sat in the box for 4 years unopened. Opened it today and the piston to open the door is not working. The suggested repair is to use a magnet and pull the door up.

Study Construction, failure to open.

The safe is very sturdy but can use a better opening strut system. If I need to open this safe in an emergency it will unlock with no problem, the code or biometrics work flawlessly but the door doesn’t pop open as it should. This is a problem and it needs to be addressed, you should not have to jiggle, use a tool or turn the safe over to retrieve your handgun when it’s supposed to pop open. I don’t want to throw it out and buy something else because I think it’s a good product, but you have ...

it Sucks. Period.

I bought this safe but when someone broke into my truck they easily broke into the safe as if it was butter and stole my gun.

A nice little pistol safe

I found this safe to be a good fit for my full sized 9mm and 2 clips. I don't think the lid ever sprung open when opening activated. Finally inquired about the problem and have a new gas cylinder being shipped. I'm hopeful this will solve everything.
