Tools and Hardware Reviews of HOMAK HS10036685 Electronic Access Pistol Box, 10 X 14.25 X 7.5 Inch
Customer Review: Excellent Pistol Box
Summary: 5 Stars
Keeping in mind that this is a security cabinet and not a safe, it is an excellent option for keeping your pistol or valuable goods away from opportunistic hands. As with anything of this class, or even safes, for that matter, it can be defeated given enough time, tools, and expertise. Having said that, it has proven to be very secure over time. Here are the main points of my experience over time:
* Heavier than expected. When I ordered this, I was expecting something that would be flimsier and lighter. In fact, it was much heavier and better-built than I had thought.
* Quality - The tolerances are reasonably tight around the door and the welds are high quality. The keypad works well as does the locking mechanism. I haven't had any issues whatever with the operation or action of this unit. The door has never rubbed and it has never failed to open or to latch.
* Size - This box will fit the equivalent of two pistols, or an equivalent-sized pile of cash, bullion, or whatever. (No, I wouldn't recommend keeping bullion in this. Get something a little tougher) There's not much room, though, so it's not as if these things are not touching each other on the inside. The picture is actually a good representation.
* Flexibility - The size of the unit allows for flexible mounting options, as it can be installed in a closet, cabinet, desk, or nook, providing some additional measure of security by being in a hard to get to place that doesn't allow for easy swings of a hammer, etc. It can also be mounted either from the top or the bottom. The door, as seen in the picture, opens from the front. I like this feature as it allows for options in mounting location.
* Convenience - After following the instructions, you may input your own security code. While the locking mechanism is powered by batteries, they do seem to last a long time. If the batteries run out, however, there is a very nice feature that allows you to use a battery from the outside to temporarily open the box, which can still only be opened by inputting a security code, even by backup battery.
Other thoughts:
I was originally looking for a small security box with a Simplex lock, but I could not find anything suitable in the size and dimensions I was looking for. I was a little hesitant to purchase this one due to worries about battery power and reliability, however it has proven to be excellent over time. By the way, at the time of purchase, this met the California DOJ requirements for a security cabinet for firearms storage.
Would I trust this to hold all my priceless jewelry or bearer bonds (if I had any)? No, and it's not intended to do that. But it is effective to protect items from smash-and-grab events or from curious children, especially if concealed and securely mounted. Depending on your security needs, this one may not work for you, but it has been a viable option for my needs and has worked out very well. I have found that the quality is above what I would have expected for the price and can recommend it based on my experience.
