I'm worried that a child might be able to accidentally enter the combination and open the gun vault, if you used a short (fast) combination.

I used a combination that is even difficult for me to do. Example- 1 4 1 4 then 2&3 together and 2&3 together again. You can invent any combination you want. I would suggest you include a combination of at least two together twice. Also, I keep this in a drawer cabled to the back of the cabinet so it cannot be lifted out of the drawer.

I don't see it as a big risk given you have control of the number sequence you set.

That was a concern of mine, but we keep ours in a bedroom, where the children are not allowed. So, the chance of it happening, is very slim.

I don't have kids at home anymore but I would say it would have to pretty rare that that would happen if you use all four buttons four your combo. It's not like a regular combo... You choose how many buttons to push and how many times to push them... Not a sequence of numbers like a safe combo.

There is a barrel key backup, however no combination lock. The vault is well made and functions as advertised. My wife and I each have/use one, as does our son.

Just over a thousand combinations. I've seen somewhere on the net displayed all the combinations, it must be a very patient thief to crack the code. If this safe was bolted to floor, it would be very difficult to pry up due to the box rounded edges.

I have used my gun vault with a 5 shot chiefs special with no problem. I've also placed a phone, a wallet and a bunch of keys, all separate and at one time. I could easily put a K-frame revolver (ie 357 mag with 4" barrel) into this box.

Yes, you can do multiple combinations. I press 2 numbers and release and then press 2 more and then open. Go to the V-Line website, I think they have instructions. I like the vault as it keeps my firearms safe and having it recessed in the wall makes it harder to recognize.

You would have to drill a hole in the side because a cable attached through a bottom hole would not allow the vault to sit stable which could become a problem in a moment of stress. You never want to be fumbling when needing to access a weapon (if that's what you are using it for). Not enough play once vault is set in place through bottom.

My gun safe is a SentrySafe and when I forgot the combination, they sent me a copy but they require pretty extensive proof that you are the owner. Good luck and this safe combination is the opposite of what you would expect. Turn right first, then left, then right.

There's a little shutter over each one that you can slide open or closed. It slides very easily though, so it wouldn't be a good deterrent for children.

Yes-the combination you choose needs to be set then moved at least one chamber to lock.

I don't remember how many digits you can use but you can use a combination of two buttons as a digit. For example you can press the 2 and 3 key together to represent a 5. After 3 or 5 failed attempts the vault will time out for an hour or so. You can still open it with the key during a time out. Also you can check to see if anyone has tried opening the vault with failed attempts. Clearing invalid entries is easy, you just press the buttons inside the vault. Hope this helps.

If you are very careful yes. If there's a bad guy in the house and I need it out fast, then no. I was disappointed with this safe. It's great to keep little hands off your weapons but any Joe with a prybar can breach it. Save your money and buy something heavier.

There is a mechanical override, but it is not a key. The Gun Box ships with a special wrench that can be used to open the safe in the event of mechanical or electric failure. The mechanical override can also be disabled if needed.

Like DRE said, you can but it would only be good for keeping small children from accessing the weapon, not anyone that is determined.

I would pose this question to the manufacturer, in terms of "how difficult would it be to break into the Stack-On personal safe?". I can't answer this question because I haven't tried to break into one.

Yeah but it's for kids, it's like a 2 digit combination. When I first got it, I accidentally closed it without the combination. I just turned it left and it opens without the combo. If you pull on it hard enough it's pretty flimsy. Remember though it's for kids. I had only purchased this a a nastalgic change bank.

I don't know how safe it is bc I never tried to break into it. The locking mechanism was not easy to use, frequently got jammed, and felt flimsy in my grip. That is the entirety of my experience with this safe.

I believe a strong Velcro might hold however if you have an accident I'd be concerned about launching the vault as a potential projectile
