Hollon Safes Republic and Reserve Fireproof Gun Safes Go Biometric

Hollon Safes now have a range of biometric gun safes. No, they have not introduced a new range but rather have introduced a biometric E-lock upgrade option for their Republican and Reserve ranges of gun safes. This has been a very clever move by the people at Hollon Safes. By combining the design and constructions features of their proven high quality fireproof gun safes with the ever-increasing popularity of fingerprint biometric locks, Hollon have brought to the market two ranges of fireproof biometric gun safes that represent great value for buyers. 

The Securam BSL-0608 Biometric Lock creates new safe options

All the construction features that make the Republic and Reserve fireproof gun safes more secure than other gun safes on the market; the thickness of the steel, drill/ballistic armored hard plate to protect the lock, active spring loader re-lockers, locking bolts covering all 4 sides of the door, one hour fire protection and more; have been married with a Securam BSL-0608 biometric lock. 

Hollon Safe were thoroughly impressed by the Securam lock when their warehouse, tech support team and the owner, a locksmith took one apart. After testing the lock and taking it apart, it was decided at a company meeting to introduce the lock as an optional upgrade for a number of products. Now, with the use of the UL Listed BSL-0608 biometric lock, Hollon Safes has a range of biometric safes that includes fireproof biometric gun safes.

Securam a leading manufacturer of Biometric Locks

Securam have over 21 years of security industry expertise and is a leading manufacturer of electronic security products. Biometric security is one of their specialties and have developed top level fingerprint biometrics that offers superior protection and safekeeping for valuables.

The BSL-0608 biometric lock is a UL Listed, motor driven, swing bolt lock that has proved its durability when tested. Mike, the Hollon Safes warehouse manager, even took his dirty nasty warehouse finger to it and it still read his fingerprint. The lock holds up to 10 fingerprints plus one 10 digit code and unlike most biometric locks out today this one runs on just one 9-volt battery instead of two and still has a battery life span of 2000-3000 operations. 

Republic Gun Safe with PDO

 

Often owners of gun safes also use the safe as handgun safes and the Republican Series of fireproof safes provides owners with a pocket door organizer (PDO) to hold handguns and ammunition. One big positive of having biometric gun safes is that in an emergency access to the safe is via the simple scanning of a fingerprint. Hollon fireproof safes incorporating the BSL-0608 lock has two simple and easy ways of unlocking; by a finger swipe using the fingerprint sensor or if needed by a code.

Many potential gun safe owners ask, “What are the best gun safes?” It can be said without reservation that the Republic and Reserve series of fireproof gun safes provide buyers with exceptionally well designed and constructed safes with a range of sizes and prices that provide excellent value for money.

Wall Safes - Biometric Wall Safes for Home or Office

The newly released FW-1814Z biometric safes come with the security features expected of quality constructed wall safes. These burglary resistant biometric safes are constructed using heavy-duty gauge steel having a door constructed using 5/8 inch formed steel to prevent pry barring by burglars. Designed for personal use at home or in the office these biometric safes are equipped with a state-of-the-art fingerprint reader for secure and easy operation. At home, wall safes are used to secure smaller items like passports, personal jewellery, spare cash, documents and pistols. We often need to access these items quickly making storage in wall safes far more convenient than securing the items in a bank depository safe.

Wall safes draw a large part of their security from being hidden from site. Typically, wall safes are hidden behind pictures while some inventive people have hidden wall safes in cupboards, behind mirrors and wardrobes. Like all wall safes, FW-1814Z biometric safes are installed between wall studs and secured to the wall studs from the inside of the safe using the supplied lag bolts. Wall safes come with a flange so that you don’t need to re-plaster walls after installation.

FW-1814Z Fingerprint Slot

Like all good biometric safes, FW-1814Z wall safes are able to register the fingerprints of multiple users - thirty (30) different fingerprints can be enrolled in the wall safes memory. Opening biometric safes requires a fingerprint to be programmed into the safes memory. On recognition of the fingerprint the biometric safes motorized locking bolt system will open the door automatically. When the reader is touched only users whose fingerprints are stored in the safes memory can crack the safes.

Biometric Gun Safe – AX11652 Four-Rifle Fingerprint Safe

Storing firearms in a gun safe at home is being responsible; however, owners also need to be able to access firearms in an emergency and in most cases that emergency will happen at night. The dark of night and being under stress will make it very difficult to enter a combination or enter a keypad code to access the gun safe. Should such a stressful situation arise all it takes to open the AX11652 biometric safe is a simple touch of the finger in the correct position against the locking mechanism and the lock will open giving immediate access to weapons. The AX11652 biometric safe comes with back-up keys for traditional access in the event access to the fingerprint is not available.

The AX11652 rifle safe is small enough to hide in a cupboard or wardrobe but it is strongly recommended that the safe be mounted to a wall or through the floor using the provided mounting hardware. Empty, the biometric safe weighs 66 pounds and considerably more than that when loaded. When mounting to a wall, be sure of the load bearing to hold the weight of the safe and the contents. Failure to do so could result in the safe falling and damaging property and or people.

While the AX11652 rifle safe does have state of the art fingerprint access and is CA DOJ approved this biometric safe does have some drawbacks. The gun safe’s construction using 2mm steel provides minimal protection from a professional thief and in the event of a fire contents will be damaged due to there be no fireproofing. Otherwise, this is a good safe for those looking for a biometric rifle safe at budget price.
