I need a quick access handgun safe. Ideally it would be mechanical so I don't have to worry about batteries. I recall my dad having one when I was a kid, that had four mechanical buttons that you could press in a particular order to open. It needs to fit a Glock 34 sized handgun. I know such a safe won't stop anyone from stealing it, but my primary goal is to ensure kids can't get into it. What are the best options? |

| Gunvault with the finger buttons. That's what I used when my kids were younger. Yes, it uses batteries, but I just changed them every year like a smoke detector. |

Someone needs to invent a safe that will alarm if the code is entered incorrectly after six tries. This will keep a kid from trying over and over. I’d pay good money for that option. |
Why do you own a fire extinguisher when you have the fire department to protect you?

Simplex is the type of push button lock. Vline, I'm pretty sure, are all made in USA. Don't think a toddler would get in, if you get combo wrong you have to turn knob counterclockwise to reset. You can't just keep pushing buttons until it opens. Can also set up to require single and/or simultaneous double button pushes. I was set on electronic, but got Simplex. I think electronic has more to go wrong and Simplex is really fast, easy to do in the dark etc. I think Fas1 (Fast1?) is going out of business (health issues for owner)? I have a couple Vlines that I love, and would get a Fas1 if I needed a new one (if they are still available.....) |

I was looking for the same thing and came across this company along with those listed above. https://stopboxusa.com/ I have not purchased one yet. I am still undecided. |

I’d pay good money for that option. Pretty sure my Vaultek does that, but after one incorrect try. It sends notifications to my cell phone, even if someone moves the safe. There might be an alarm after multiple tries. I have the RS500i. |
