Other options include the ability to turn the backlighting of the keys off and the sound. The Agile keypad system is one of the most advanced in the industry.

     My choice for safes in this arena comes from SecureIt<\/a>. Like me, they see the challenge of biometrics for fast entry, and they have a solution. That solution is their new Agile 52 safe. The heart of the Agile 52 is the advanced six-button keypad featuring a biometric operation option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The keypad is designed to give the user options. The keypad allows three different user codes, all programmed by the user. The biometric pad can hold up to 30 different fingerprints.

A Solid Choice in Safes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

     My choice for safes in this arena comes from SecureIt<\/a>. Like me, they see the challenge of biometrics for fast entry, and they have a solution. That solution is their new Agile 52 safe. The heart of the Agile 52 is the advanced six-button keypad featuring a biometric operation option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The keypad is designed to give the user options. The keypad allows three different user codes, all programmed by the user. The biometric pad can hold up to 30 different fingerprints. SecureIt understands that some users may not prefer a biometric option. With that in mind, they have given you the ability to disable it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other options include the ability to turn the backlighting of the keys off and the sound. The Agile keypad system is one of the most advanced in the industry. They have worked hard to make the safe, secure, and user-friendly as possible. To help manage power for the safe, they have included a low battery alert light on the keypad. They have also designed the safe to be powered by an external battery connected to the USBC port on the bottom of the keypad. It really is the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     So yes, I get it. Opening something with your fingerprint has a very sci-fi modern feel to it. But like so much evolving technology, it simply isn\u2019t ready for prime time. When you need to get into your safe in a hurry, you do not want to be trying multiple times, wiping off the scanner or licking your thumb to make things work. You want and need it now. So, while my inner voice may be a salty old man. He is a salty old man that is right. He just needs to work on his delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biometric safes aren't the only thing that is eyebrow-raising in the world of firearms storage.

     There is, in my mind, a place for a biometric option for a gun safe. The main application would be if you needed to open the safe in front of others. You do not want them to see your key code, so a biometric device in tandem with a traditional keypad would be a great setup. You still can quickly and reliably open the safe with a keypad, but you have the privacy option with a biometric fingerprint reader. While this is a great way to manage access, there are few companies offering this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My point is that with a phone, it is simply an inconvenience. With a gun safe, it can be a matter of life and death. If we are put in a situation where we need fast access to our safe, we cannot rely on technology that has not advanced to the point of super reliability. I could see the look of pain on his face, so I was compelled to offer a caveat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend\u2019s new safe could be opened by using his fingerprint only. He was so proud, and I struggled to be happy for him. However, like in the movie Venom, my inner monster began to talk no matter how hard I tried to stop him. My off-the-cuff comment was, \u201cHow many times have you tried to open your phone with your fingerprint, and it didn\u2019t work?\u201d. This is the truth, and we have all experienced it. Maybe your hands were wet, perhaps the screen was dirty, or maybe your phone simply decided not to work at that moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biometric Safes VS the Old Man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My friend\u2019s new safe could be opened by using his fingerprint only. He was so proud, and I struggled to be happy for him. However, like in the movie Venom, my inner monster began to talk no matter how hard I tried to stop him. My off-the-cuff comment was, \u201cHow many times have you tried to open your phone with your fingerprint, and it didn\u2019t work?\u201d. This is the truth, and we have all experienced it. Maybe your hands were wet, perhaps the screen was dirty, or maybe your phone simply decided not to work at that moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My point is that with a phone, it is simply an inconvenience. With a gun safe, it can be a matter of life and death. If we are put in a situation where we need fast access to our safe, we cannot rely on technology that has not advanced to the point of super reliability. I could see the look of pain on his face, so I was compelled to offer a caveat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     There is, in my mind, a place for a biometric option for a gun safe. The main application would be if you needed to open the safe in front of others. You do not want them to see your key code, so a biometric device in tandem with a traditional keypad would be a great setup. You still can quickly and reliably open the safe with a keypad, but you have the privacy option with a biometric fingerprint reader. While this is a great way to manage access, there are few companies offering this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Solid Choice in Safes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

     My choice for safes in this arena comes from SecureIt<\/a>. Like me, they see the challenge of biometrics for fast entry, and they have a solution. That solution is their new Agile 52 safe. The heart of the Agile 52 is the advanced six-button keypad featuring a biometric operation option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The keypad is designed to give the user options. The keypad allows three different user codes, all programmed by the user. The biometric pad can hold up to 30 different fingerprints. SecureIt understands that some users may not prefer a biometric option. With that in mind, they have given you the ability to disable it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other options include the ability to turn the backlighting of the keys off and the sound. The Agile keypad system is one of the most advanced in the industry. They have worked hard to make the safe, secure, and user-friendly as possible. To help manage power for the safe, they have included a low battery alert light on the keypad. They have also designed the safe to be powered by an external battery connected to the USBC port on the bottom of the keypad. It really is the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     So yes, I get it. Opening something with your fingerprint has a very sci-fi modern feel to it. But like so much evolving technology, it simply isn\u2019t ready for prime time. When you need to get into your safe in a hurry, you do not want to be trying multiple times, wiping off the scanner or licking your thumb to make things work. You want and need it now. So, while my inner voice may be a salty old man. He is a salty old man that is right. He just needs to work on his delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what you choose, set realistic standards for what storage option is right for you. Do you have children? Are you living with others?<\/em> These are important questions to ask yourself. <\/em>Your firearm is an investment, and you should view your storage solution the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing Remarks<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Concerning firearms, it all boils down to the safety of yourself and others. Safety<\/a> is the number one rule of gun ownership and handling. If treated improperly, firearms are dangerous tools with the potential to cause serious harm or death to yourself or others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gun ownership is a big responsibility that should not be taken lightly. In your hands or out of your hands, safety is paramount, with no room for exceptions or excuses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be lazy. Keep your firearm locked away, separate from the ammo. It\u2019s up to you to do your due diligence as a gun owner. Responsible gun ownership is the best way to demonstrate to the world how great the gun community is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your firearm and community are counting on you. Do not let them down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We try our best. We strive to be hip and \u201cin the know.\u201d Sometimes, we even use slang we don\u2019t understand and watch the world grow around us. No matter how hard we try, we always end up being our parents. I find this to be especially true as my father seems to have taken over my body and mouth. I have found myself saying the dreaded \u201cI remember when\u201d and \u201cYou kids.\u201d No matter how much I try, it seems the transformation is inevitable. One specific curmudgeonly point recently arose when a discussion on biometric gun safes arose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biometric Safes VS the Old Man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My friend\u2019s new safe could be opened by using his fingerprint only. He was so proud, and I struggled to be happy for him. However, like in the movie Venom, my inner monster began to talk no matter how hard I tried to stop him. My off-the-cuff comment was, \u201cHow many times have you tried to open your phone with your fingerprint, and it didn\u2019t work?\u201d. This is the truth, and we have all experienced it. Maybe your hands were wet, perhaps the screen was dirty, or maybe your phone simply decided not to work at that moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My point is that with a phone, it is simply an inconvenience. With a gun safe, it can be a matter of life and death. If we are put in a situation where we need fast access to our safe, we cannot rely on technology that has not advanced to the point of super reliability. I could see the look of pain on his face, so I was compelled to offer a caveat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     There is, in my mind, a place for a biometric option for a gun safe. The main application would be if you needed to open the safe in front of others. You do not want them to see your key code, so a biometric device in tandem with a traditional keypad would be a great setup. You still can quickly and reliably open the safe with a keypad, but you have the privacy option with a biometric fingerprint reader. While this is a great way to manage access, there are few companies offering this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Solid Choice in Safes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

     My choice for safes in this arena comes from SecureIt<\/a>. Like me, they see the challenge of biometrics for fast entry, and they have a solution. That solution is their new Agile 52 safe. The heart of the Agile 52 is the advanced six-button keypad featuring a biometric operation option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The keypad is designed to give the user options. The keypad allows three different user codes, all programmed by the user. The biometric pad can hold up to 30 different fingerprints. SecureIt understands that some users may not prefer a biometric option. With that in mind, they have given you the ability to disable it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other options include the ability to turn the backlighting of the keys off and the sound. The Agile keypad system is one of the most advanced in the industry. They have worked hard to make the safe, secure, and user-friendly as possible. To help manage power for the safe, they have included a low battery alert light on the keypad. They have also designed the safe to be powered by an external battery connected to the USBC port on the bottom of the keypad. It really is the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     So yes, I get it. Opening something with your fingerprint has a very sci-fi modern feel to it. But like so much evolving technology, it simply isn\u2019t ready for prime time. When you need to get into your safe in a hurry, you do not want to be trying multiple times, wiping off the scanner or licking your thumb to make things work. You want and need it now. So, while my inner voice may be a salty old man. He is a salty old man that is right. He just needs to work on his delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
