From the Manufacturer
Stack-On PS-10-B Personal Safe with Biometric Lock is a California approved firearms safety device that meets the requirements of California Penal Code Section 12088 and the regulations issued thereunder. Stack-On's new Biometric lock can be programmed to accept up to 32 different fingerprints and provides greater security and quicker access to the safe’s contents. This Biometric safe also includes an electronic lock and hidden trouble key. The solid steel design with pry resistant door has concealed hinges and 2 steel live action locking bolts. This unit includes 1 adjustable shelf and a foam padded bottom and shelf.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism I'd been looking at the more expensive Barska biometric safe to keep my pistol out of reach of my 6 year old daughter when I came across the Stack-On biometric. I'd previously considered the keypad version of the Stack On but really wanted the fingerprint recognition feature.
What's great about this safe is that it not only has the biometric key but it also has a keycode and a physical key too - 3 ways to get in. In all honesty, I could do without all three methods and the keycode only has 4 numbers to make up the 4-8 digit code. This means it's likely you can't use a familiar number as you only get 1, 2, 3 & 4 to choose from. I'm assuming there is some kind of lockout feature on multiple incorrect keypad entries but the single instruction sheet doesn't go into that much detail. I'd hate to think my little girl could just tap away until the safe finally unlocked.
However, the fingerprint recognition feature is fairly competent. You can store upto 32 fingerprints, any of which will crack open the lock. I used 5 for my primary access finger and then 1 for each of my other fingers and thumbs making a total of 14 slots used with 18 remaining. Unfortunately, you don't get to choose the slot so once the memory bank is full I'm not sure what happens. Does it overwrite from first fingerprint when you hit 33...? Is there any way to clear fingerprints...? Again, the lack of documentation lets it down and this is really my biggest complaint. Other than that, the recognition was near faultless if you follow a few basic rules. Finger placement doesn't require that you be spot-on each time but if you can be consistent then the safe will open every time. I was getting maybe 1 failure to open in 10 attempts due to bad finger placement. At this price, I think it is more than acceptable. The more expensive Barska has reviews with similar success rates.
There are 2 nice big lock bolts that keep the door locked and I doubt that you could prise the door open without some heavy duty hardware. I expect you'd have more luck attacking the hinge. And again, at this price, I don't think the safe was designed to resist a sustained determined attack anyway. What's important to me is that my kids and any of their friends have zero chance of accessing my pistol.
