Just received my safe today, works just like the description said..i can fit all my guns in the slots and ammo in the top locked box..It was very easy to set up the pass code.
This safe is build like a BSH and it works exactly as advertised. The steel is thicker than on many competing models and the fit and finish are first rate. The instructions and warnings are clear and intelligible and, as some other reviewers have commented, follow-up from the vendor has been prompt and helpful. Two suggestions: 1) Two very heavy mushroom anchors are provided with the safe. But theyre actually of limited use in most applications. They would only work in sheet rock, where they would easily be torn out. A simpler and more reliable anchoring method would be to simply find a stud, drill a couple of corresponsding holes in the safe, and use lag screws instead. 2) Handling any solidly build safe with its door in place usually requires bruit force and at least 2 people. But with the door removed, even fairly large and heavy safes can be moved with relative ease. On this safe, with the door in the fully open position, the door can be safely and easily removed by simply loosening a hex cap screw on the top hinge pin. The screw engages a recessed ring in the pin so that it cannot fall out inadvertantly - a lovely design. I was able to remove the door, install the safe and replace the door myself with little effort - and Im 77 years old. I recommend this safe and its vendor.
Great quality safe, Id say for the price point but Id pay almost twice as much for it. The customer service I have gotten has been above what I could ask for or have gotten from other vendors. Would recommend this safe to anyone with a small collection.
This safe was a great price for people on a budget that want to secure their firearms. I know that it isnt indestructible but it will be a nice safety measure to keep kids and others not authorized to handle my Rifles safe. I love the small lock box inside. The electronic lock is great.
After a lot of research to find a good value gun cabinet, I settled on the Moutec Large Rifle (w/ touchpad) Gun Cabinet. I found numerous positive and informative reviews on as well as reputable sites. I have had the cabinet for about a month and recently mounted it to a wall in my home. I am very pleased with my choice.
I had 2 key elements in my search: price and interior dimensions. Many cabinets I researched had one or the other but not both. Most fell short on the interior dimensions. When wanting to store rifles with optics or other accessories, interior space is a must. The interior dimensions listed in the product details are accurate and one of the main reasons I selected this cabinet. I would estimate it would hold 5 – 6 long rifles as described.
Quality of materials is another key element, but I am not knowledgeable enough to understand the gauge of the metal (yes, I know you can research to understand but I wasnt getting it). The reviews here and elsewhere were consistent on two things: metal for the sides and back, as well as the cabinet door thickness. Here, the reviews were again accurate. The sides and back dont feel much thicker/stronger than a school locker, but to get better youre going to pay more. As such I did not feel misled. The cabinet door, however, is thick, solid, and hefty, with 3 security bars/deadbolts down the side and 1 each on top and bottom. The door isnt being opened unless someone has time, patience, and tools. Same can be said for the sides and back. Youre going to have to expend effort to punch a hole into the cabinet to get whats inside.
The separate lockbox is also solid. For me, it doesnt add much value. I would have preferred open and adjustable shelves. There is 1 cabinet on that has these and was my close second choice, but the cabinet wasnt reviewed as positively or at all on other sites.
The foam adjustable support frame keeps rifle barrels snugly in place. Once you put your rifle away, its not going to shift in the cabinet, or rotate in place.
The keypad works great. Ive had bad experiences with biometric locks so I did not consider the Moutec model that had one. The keypad isnt touchy or sensitive. You actually need to press the keys to enter your code, which I like. Once the code is entered, the cabinet unlocks quickly. If youre worried about getting into the cabinet in a hurry, dont be. The batteries that shipped with the cabinet must have been old because when I installed them, all I got was a long loud whiney noise. After trying unsuccessfully to program the code, I replaced the batteries, watched the video on the Moutec website, and set the code with ease.
I built a shelf for the bottom for storage, added a magnetic spice shelf to place under the lockbox but over the barrel for storage, and will be adding magnetic LEDs later this week. I found these ideas in reviews of the cabinet on and appreciate everyone who shared them.
The cabinet arrived via FedEx when promised. There was no damage from shipping, as the Moutec team did a great job packing it securely and with good materials protecting the cabinet.
After I registered the cabinet on the website, I was emailed by Alan from Moutec. He queried about my experience with the cabinet, thanked me for my purchase and registration, and offered to send me the door panel organizer that Moutec sells. I love it and so appreciate receiving it.
I am very pleased with the cabinet. I would buy another once my collection grows, unless I upgrade to something larger and fire rated (which would cost more). While I understand some of the negative reviews Ive seen on about this cabinet, I do not agree with them. My experience with it, as well as customer service, thus far has been nothing but positive. Other reviews I found in my research were accurate and lead to my decision to purchase this cabinet. It has met my expectations and I am glad I went with this cabinet over others.
Love this gun safe! Arrived in exactly one week perfectly packed. Feels sturdy. More spacious then expected. No need for assembly other than bolting to the wall or floor with the accompanying bolts(mine was pack inside the small safe). Easy to set up a new code(comes detailed instructions and 4 new AAA batteries). Highly recommended!
Safe is as advertised and perfect for what I need it for! Setting lock was easy. It was delivered without any problems and I was kept informed by Alan about the shipment. Alan also quickly sent me the free inside safe hanging pistol holder which is a great addition to the safes versatility. I would definitely recommend this safe if you need one thats relatively small, inexpensive and functional.
Kudos to Delivery, the safe arrived with no damage. The safe has a small footprint and it fits nicely in the recess of a walk-in closet. Just what I needed.
Like other reviews have mentioned, the included foam rack sits way too high for shorter rifles to be slotted in place, putting a block of 2 1/2 dense material beneath the weapons solves the problem. It is important to note that the safe is designed to hold 5 long guns only there are no dedicated storage for handguns. There is a small locking box on top that can probably hold a handgun or two but youd need the secondary key to access your handgun every time. To get around this, I added a 13 1/2 x 11 1/4 plywood board to the back of the safe to mount several magnetic pistol holders. This gives me room to hang about 4 to 5 medium size pistols within easy reach (See Pictures)
Overall, I am recommending this safe as a good staring point for someone looking for basic gun storage.
