HOLEWOR Biometric Slider Gun Safe

This gun safe is, hands down, the best bang for your money. I did a lot of research on gun safes. I feel so confident in the quality, with some minor modifications, that I would purchase it for my son or anyone I care about. With that said, there are several issues, some minor, that I have noticed. The cons are: #1 The instruction pamphlet was horribly inadequate. That seems to be the norm now with items not made in the US. #2 The provided 4 screws allowed you to secure the mounting bracket to whatever you are mounting the safe to. They weren't as robust as I would have preferred, but they were mainly adequate. I will be adding more screws to ensure this is VERY secure to my nightstand and can not just be ripped away with these short screws. When mounting the safe to the bracket, it was missing a screw. It only came with 2 screws to secure the safe on the bottom to the bracket. The screw that connects the safe from the inside to the bracket was missing. This screw wasn't even listed on the pamphlet. All they had to do was include another screw exactly like the 2 on the bottom because the thread pattern was the same. Without this screw attached, someone can just remove the 2 mounting screws on the bottom and take the safe with them. SO EXTREMELY UNSAFE!!! I had a screw that fit, so I was OK. Others might not be aware, and the pamphlet doesn't mention any of this. #3 The light inside the safe that comes on when opened is very faint at best. I expected a brighter light from the pictures. The picture shows the entire opening glowing. Not even close. Don't get me wrong... I don't want a light that is so bright that would wreck my night vision, but this one is extremely weak and barely shows much of anything. #4 When the safe is opened, the drawer only opens a couple inches. You have to manually open it the rest of the way. Every other safes I was looking at opened all the way (seen on all videos). #5 When closing the safe, it doesn't close smoothly. You actually have to put some force on the door for it to properly close. Not too bad of a con. I tried adding lithium grease to the slide to fix #4 and #5, but it didn't help at all. At this price point, these cons shouldn't exist at all. When setting up the safe, adding fingerprints and the code was easily completed. I suggest adding several fingers from each hand at different angles. That's what I did, and it accepted them all. I tried opening the safe multiple times with different fingers at different angles, but it did fail to read my attempt a few times. Not often enough to be considered a con, though... yet. No fingerprint reader is 100% foolproof. Overall, even with the cons listed above, I like the safe. It seems well-made and has options I wanted that other safes don't offer. It fits nicely next to my bed and looks great! Yeah, I had to make small modifications to get this safe to where I am comfortable it is there to stay, but now, I am happy that the safe fits the majority of my needs at a decent price point. If you purchase this safe, it is well worth it with the modifications I mentioned. Make sure you make them for safety reasons... safety first, right?
