AMSEC Guardian Pro 5 Biometric Handgun Safe

AMSEC Guardian Pro 5 Biometric Handgun Safe The AMSEC Guardian Pro 5 (Model PB5) is a compact biometric pistol safe built for the homeowner or vehicle owner who wants AMSEC's Triple-Entry System: finger-swipe biometric, 5-digit electronic keypad, or backup keys. At 11.75 by 10 inches and just 2.75 inches tall, it's sized to fit inside a nightstand drawer, on a closet shelf, in a desk drawer, or underneath a seat in a vehicle. The 14-gauge solid steel body, dual-latch closure, and reinforced interior hinges are built to resist pry attacks and unauthorized entry attempts, and the entire safe is California DOJ-approved to meet the construction and security requirements of Penal Code section 23655. Three separate ways to unlock the safe give you both quick access when you need it and reliable backup access when the primary method fails. AMSEC's finger-swipe biometric reader stores up to 30 unique prints, so every adult in the household can have independent access without sharing a code. A personalized 5-digit code entered on the top-mounted electronic keypad works as a secondary access method if a wet or dirty finger doesn't read cleanly. Two backup cylinder keys are included as an emergency backup in case of a dead battery or a forgotten code. When any of the three unlock methods verifies, the auto-opening top door lifts on its own with a soft-landing mechanism so there's no slam in a quiet bedroom, and a built-in LED lights the interior for one-handed access in the dark. The interior measures 10.88 inches wide, 7.50 inches deep, and 2.65 inches tall for a total of 0.13 cubic feet, sized to hold up to two handguns per AMSEC's spec, plus a spare magazine or two. A fully foam-lined, customizable interior protects the finish of stored handguns from scratches and lets you carve out custom cutouts for the specific pistol you own. The 14-gauge solid steel body is heavier than the 18-gauge used by most competing quick-access pistol safes in this size class, and AMSEC calls out the tamper-resistant design as a specific feature of the Guardian Pro line. An included heavy-duty steel security cable lets you anchor the safe to a fixed object such as a bed frame, a drawer support bracket, or a vehicle seat frame, so someone can't simply grab the safe and walk off with it to open later. That's the standard weakness of any portable pistol safe, and the security cable is what turns it into a functional deterrent. For nightstand or vehicle installation, run the cable through the safe's anchor point and loop it around a permanent structural element, then close and lock the safe with the cable secured inside. The Guardian Pro 5 weighs 9 pounds in a textured, medium-blue finish and is backed by AMSEC's 2-year warranty.
