I still think this serves the purpose most people would use it forā¦which would be to keep kids from messing with a handgun. So I still think it serves a purpose.
I donāt know if I would buy anything from this company. Even the new ābiometricā version has problems. Geez man, how do they stay in business?
I agree. Itās called āa deterrent.ā
If the world was perfect, we wouldnāt need these at all.
The whole purpose of this thing is to āsafeā a hand gun. Be it from theft or from children, if it is so easy to defeat the lock, thieves and children will get it open. That makes it less than worthless, as it gives a false sense of security.
Here is yet another video on how to open these so-called āsafesā:

If yāall are so adamant that these types of safes suck, perhaps you should provide examples of good ones instead of just saying ādonāt buy.ā
My guess is that youāll find plenty of videos of people who can defeat almost any type of safe or lock, so are all the safes and locks bad, or are these people just good at breaking them?
Perhaps with some input, Woot! can perhaps offer more protective gear in the future.
The whole point is so you can get your gun fast in the middle of the night if you need it, all while making sure your children canāt. Your gun is not meant to stay in there all the time. We have all of our guns in an actual safe and move 2 handguns to the bedside at night only. Itās a level of protection not given by just a nightstand drawer. It was never meant to deter people from breaking in. Let me repeat that. This is NOT meant to stop people from stealing your gun. Itās to keep your guests and children safe while you are also near. If you arenāt there then put them in an actual safe.
Did you compare the links in the ābest reviewsā to the products where they land on amazon? The first two are very different from the pictures and manufacturers mentioned in the review. Beware!
Your amazon link takes me to something manufactured by āmoutecā for the $130 price. Different button look and no manufacturer printed on the cover. Nothing about sentry safe mentioned in the amazon product landing spot.
Tried to help by giving options. Nevermind. Wonāt bother to do so in the futureā¦
Do the research yourself thenā¦
Dude. I appreciated the thought. Just thought you might want to know that you were sending folks in the wrong direction.
Yes, and this has a deterrent factor of almost 0.
If my grandmother could āpickā this lock with a BIC pen, then the device itself SUCKS.
So your grandmother runs around ready to pick locks??? Sighā¦

Thatās not the way this always works. None of us here work for woot. Hell, none of us here even have to comment on the crappiness of this device. But we do because we donāt want someone to buy this thinking that itās ACTUALLY going to secure their weapon when it wonāt.
With this in mind, we donāt always have the time to comb through reviews of other gun safes to then post here and make other recommendations. What I know is that this device is NOT secure, and should NOT be used by anyone. With how easy it is to open AND the availability of videos on YT showing how easy this is to open NO ONE should buy this safe.
Why havenāt you posted alternate recommendations to this safe?
@Wooter51134391
You might know that, but not everyone else does who might buy this device.
Do you check your car tire air pressure before you drive every time? Floss your teeth before/after brushing every time? Run a full antivirus scan on your computer on a regular basis? Rotate your tires? Make sure that the CFL bulbs you purchased didnāt go in an enclosed fixture? Have a GFI outlet in your house within several feet of a water source? Always use a pea sized amount of toothpaste?
All of those are things that people are supposed to do; how many people do you know that follow every single one of those rules (and more). I guarantee itās not many. Just like many people will think that this is actually a safe and a safe/secure place to keep their gun long term. Itās not.
This is the Lock Picking Granny, and what I have for you today is a gun safe sold by woot that claims to be secure but actually isnāt. Itās key weakness is in itās barrel locking mechanism that can be opened by many common household items.
Here we have a standard, ordinary drywall cap - the kind that anyone can find at one of the big box home design stores and here we have our āsafeā. Iāll take the large end of the drywall cap and insert it into the locking mechanism (much like you would a key).
Now, All I need to do is to apply some pressure to the back of the drywall cap and turn it clockwise aaandā¦ itās open. To show you that this wasnāt a fluke, Iāll lock the deviceā¦ put the drywall cap back inā¦ and itās open again.
Ok folks, this device isnāt secure at all. I wouldnāt recommend this to keep anything safe based on this design flaw.
In any case, thatās all I have for you today. If you do have any questions or comments about this please put them below. If you liked this fake writeup and would like to see more like it, please subscribe. And as always, have a nice day.
