VAULTEK Smart Key Biometric

As a responsible gun owner, you likely have at least one gun safe in the house. Whether concealed in a drawer or closet, or simply out of sight in the basement or garage, a safe is where you can securely store firearms when not in use while also protecting them from unwanted damage and access. But if you have a gun for home defense and a threat arises, how fast could you realistically get to the safe?

Imagine being in the living room, kitchen or home office: It’s late and you hear a suspicious sound at the front door. You’re not expecting anyone at this hour and your gun is locked in a safe in the next room. Suddenly, the door is kicked in. Did you make it to your gun?

Luckily for you, VAULTEK has a new device designed to save time when every second matters.

Smart Key Biometric

Called the Smart Key Biometric, the new device is a premium accessory for VAULTEK smart safes. Compatible with the company’s Slider Series, VT Series, MX Series and RS Series, the Smart Key Biometric acts an extension of a safe to allow for instant access of a firearm with a simple touch.

Similar to the company’s pushbutton Smart Key Nano, the Smart Key Biometric relies on a biometric fingerprint scanner to quickly unlock a safe. This not only increases the security of a safe, but it also eliminates accidental unlock — something the company warned about with the previous design.

Like the Nano, the Smart Key Biometric is not much larger than a half dollar in diameter and it can easily be attached to any solid surface using the 3M adhesive pad (included) to keep it hidden out of sight. It also comes with a mount so it can be removed and repositioned — perfect for under a desk, counter or coffee table.

As for access, the Smart Key Biometric can store up to 20 unique fingerprints — which should be more than enough for even the largest of families — and has an effective range of 20 feet. This is the real timesaver, as it can scan your finger to remotely activate the safe and present a firearm before you even get to it.

The Smart Key Biometric runs on a rechargeable lithium battery with a runtime of up to three months and it recharges in just two hours. MSRP is $84.99, on top of the cost of a compatible VAULTEK safe.
