The Bulldog Magnum Biometric Pistol Vault is a compact steel security container designed to provide controlled access to a handgun or other small valuables in the home. This black model measures 11.5 inches by 8 inches by 5.5 inches, making it suitable for placement on a sturdy shelf, inside a cabinet or in another accessible storage area where its spring-loaded front door can open without obstruction. The vault is built from 16-gauge heavy-duty steel and uses a semiconductor fingerprint reader that accepts a finger from any direction. Its self-learning system is designed to refine the stored fingerprint information as the vault is used, supporting convenient access without requiring the finger to be placed at one fixed angle. When authorized access is provided, the tamper-resistant door opens quickly while soft-stop technology helps control its movement and reduce operating noise. An interior light turns on when the door opens to make stored contents easier to see in dim conditions, while the illuminated Bulldog logo provides a visible status point on the exterior. Users can select audible feedback or silent operation according to the setting and situation. The interior is lined with soft egg-crate-style foam to help cushion a stored handgun and reduce direct contact with the steel enclosure, and a low-battery indicator provides notice when battery power is declining. Important safety information applies to this exact model: Bulldog Cases and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall on February 22, 2024, because affected biometric locks could permit unauthorized access. Bulldog directs owners to stop using the biometric feature, remove the batteries and use only the key for firearm storage until the applicable repair or replacement remedy has been completed.Specifications and Features: 11.5 x 8 x 5.5-inch compact pistol vault Black 16-gauge heavy-duty steel construction Semiconductor fingerprint reader with 360-degree access Self-learning biometric reader Tamper-resistant spring-loaded door with soft-stop operation Interior light and LED-lighted Bulldog logo Selectable audible or silent operating mode Soft egg-crate foam interior Low-battery indicator Subject to Bulldog and CPSC safety recall announced February 22, 2024 Country of Origin: China Brand: Bulldog Cases Series: Magnum Product Type: Biometric Pistol Vault Manufacturer Part Number: BD4030B UPC: 672352010350
