Price Points of a Biometric Gun Safe

Biometric Homak gun safes, also commonly referred to as fingerprint reading safes, exemplify the crossroads of security and technology. They allow you to safely store your handguns for quick access, ideal for locations like the bedside, while virtually guaranteeing to stifle any attempts at unauthorized access. The high tech fingerprint scanner built into every one of these puppies, only allows those with programmed-in recognized fingerprints to open the box.

As you may imagine, the price of these, though it varies a bit (between $150-400) , can get relatively expensive when compared to other varieties of safe lock implementations. Let's quickly take a look at some of the different features that play into the price of a fingerprint safe.

One of the most significant contributing factors to the price is the overall capacity. These safes can range in size from the compact GunVault Microvault, which is built to hold one pistol and a magazine and easily fit into a nightstand drawer, all the way up to Barska's 30 pounder, able to hold two pistols as well several small accessories. Personally, I like to keep a tactical flashlight as well as some extra ammunition, so I opt for a larger size.

Another feature is the quality of the safe structure. When shopping for a biometric gun safe for sale, it's important to buy one that's built to take a beating. LockSAF, for instance manufacturers a model with incredibly solid 9 gauge steel. This characteristic, combined with a mounted anchoring configuration makes it a very formidable theft deterrent.

Finally, the nicest fingerprint gun safes give you the ability to store multiple print patterns in the memory. The BioVault, for instance, allows over 50 different digits to be scanned in. This means, not only can you scan in multiple fingers of your own for redundancy, but you can include access for other responsible gun handlers in your home as well. Of course, the higher the technological capabilities, the more expensive the safe tends to be. The aforementioned BioVault comes equipped with an MSRP of $450.

Now that you have a decent understanding of some advanced biometric safe features, take the time to assess your needs, and decide on the right model for you.
