What Customers Are Saying
The product is generally well-received for its secure biometric access and sturdy construction, but a recurring issue with the gas struts that help open the door has been reported by many users. This flaw can make the safe difficult or impossible to open, diminishing the overall user experience, especially in emergency situations. While some customers have found DIY solutions, the manufacturer's lack of a permanent fix has frustrated others. Overall, the product appears to be a reliable option for secure firearm storage, but users should be aware of the potential strut failure.

Great safe
Would RecommendHeavy duty, much heavier than I had expected. Easy to setup and use. Nice to buy a good product that works.

Hefty, well built safe—
Would Not RecommendThe QAP1BE safe opens and closes like a bank vault, instilling confidence, so that's nice. Programming the digital buttons was trouble free and I have used it that way since Christmas (a gift from my wife). I am now in the process of trying to utilize the bio-metric access. The process has been daunting and I will re-visit this feature as I am not yet qualified to offer a real well rounded opinion.

Great at first....but
Would Not RecommendMy wife and I loved the ease of use of this safe, but in less than two years... the strut has failed as many others have mentioned. I'm sure there are longer lasting products on the market now. If I have to replace the strut on this every year, I would rather spend the money on something else that will last.

Good compact safe
Would RecommendThis Safe is sturdy and the finger print recognition is easy to setup and works quickly when trying to access. it is quite small inside but serves the purpose for a easy access portable safe. Lid is a bit noisy when opening but it does open fast. Overall a good buy.

Great safe, but not built to last
Would Not RecommendThis safe is fabulous. It's fast, quite, and heavy duty. The biometric scanner is flawless and quickly detects your fingerprint. Unfortunately, after a couple years of very mild use, my spring/strut is totally dead. I put my finger on the biometric scanner and it opens like... 1/2 an inch. Sometimes it will go as much as 2 inches, but very rarely. I'm super bummed about this because I keep the safe under my bed, and if it doesn't open all the way, I have no way of reaching my pistol without craw...

Door struts went bad
Would Not RecommendBe Careful: Door Struts Go Bad After Warranty Date I bought 1 of these safes for my pistols and they worked Great for 1 year. Then the door struts (what flips door open) went bad on in about 1 1/2 years. The 1 year Warranty expired, so I have So if you only want the safe to work for a year or so, then go for it.

Secure, easy to program
Would RecommendProgramming for fingerprint recognition was relatively easy even for this Troglodite. Safe worked as advertised and seems to be quite secure. It is probably too heavy to be used much as a portable, but has space for a couple small pistols and ammo. Got if for securing pistol from kids, and looks like it should work well for that. Easy and quick to open with programmed finger prints, so should be good for home defense.

Solid Safe
Would RecommendThis safe is perfect for my handgun. The biometric fingerprint function works great with no issues. Simple to program with a backup key lock in case the battery ever dies. The safe was also surprisingly solid with a nice weight to it. The hydraulic arm that pops open the lid when you place you finger on the biometric reader was a little stiff when first opened but after numerous times testing out out the reader it seemed to loosen up allowing the lid to pop open faster. Overall a great little s...
