I spent a lot of time researching to find what I wanted which was a way to secure my handgun at home, making it safe around the grandkids, yet easily and quickly accessible in an emergency. This GunVault SV500 SpeedVault is the ticket! I mounted it securely next to my bed in a location I can easily reach without getting out of bed, yet is hidden from view when someone is looking in the room. The wood screws they supplied in the package are pretty short so I replaced them with longer and deeper threaded ones that provided a more secure mount. The unit is very stable and secure and once mounted it works perfectly. It opens within a second of the code being entered and the gun is presented in such a way the person has immediate access to bring it into play. You can mute the beeps so when you enter the code it is silent. It is very easy to set the code and change it, but the unit has to be open to do so. The combinations you can use as a code are nearly endless. There is even a tamper indicator built into the key pad so you can tell if one of the kids has been messing with it. You get two keys with it as well. The small led light inside the vault gently illuminates the weapon for about 5 seconds when the vault opens. Yes, you can hear the vault open as the drawer release mechanism releases and the drawer comes to rest on its footing, but if you really need it, who cares? If you have it close to your bedside, open it when you go to bed and close it when you get ready to get out of bed in the morning. This is not a "Safe", meaning it won't protect your gun in a house fire and it can be opened by a determined person with a crowbar or sledge hammer. Depending on your method of mounting, if a person has the time, they could pry the vault off the wall and take it away to get into later. If you want a safe, buy a safe, bolt it to your floor or wall and protect your valuables and weapons from fire and theft. If you want a secure, easily accessible place to keep a handgun for emergencies and yet not have to worry about the kids having access to the weapon, this is the unit you want.
