This gun safe is great for a small space or flooring that cannot take a fireproof safe. The Locking mechanism and door are quite solid. The overall weight is 90 pounds, so I was able to place it in a slightly raised and narrow location without any help. It comes with wall mounting bolts, but I chose to use the existing safe back wall holes to mount it with three wood screws into a stud. Sidewalls are not reinforced and it is not fireproof. This was acceptable to me because I have sprinklers and the location where I placed the safe was raised and narrow. I was concerned that a heavy, fireproof safe would not fit and might fall through the raised flooring. Fingerprint is easy and quick. Does report occasional errors reading stored fingerprints at about the same rate as my iPhone. My only complaint is that the rotation of the dial is counterintuitive (goes opposite the handle).
Great 5/gun safe for small spaces, not fireproof
