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

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.
