how fast does the safe unlock once finger is swiped

No more than two seconds. I found that the fingerprint operation is not very dependable on these low end safes. Either spend the money for a better one or program a real easy 4 digit code. The code actually opens the safe quicker than the fingerprint actuation once the code has been entered along with the "ENTER" button.

If you hold your finger down and the scanner accepts it, it will unlock instantly.

Most of the time the biometrics don't work, but if you get lucky and the safe opens by this method, then it only takes a couple of seconds to respond to the finger swipe.

The better question is how many times do you have to swipe your finger before it reads it. The biometrics on this safe are an utter joke, even after programming the same finger into every programming slot. If you buy this, never plan on using the finger scan to open it- use the combination. Also, never ever lose the keys and keep the batteries fresh. Nothing worse than having your favorite gun locked in a safe you cant get to because one day the safe worked fine, and the next day it refused to open. Each key set is numbered. Write those numbers down along with the safe serial number. I am looking for a non-electric safe to replace this cheap Chinese one.

out of the 20 times i tried with my finger swipe it opened once and it took a couple of seconds. i honestly tried to deleate all finger prints and re-program with differant fingers differant hands nothing worked and it is not as quick as it is to use the combination key pad. if you are looking for a true biometric safe this is not it.

Yes, but I do NOT recommend this product at all. It would never respond to my fingerprint and was always a mission to use and gain access. Could not rely on it in an emergency situation at all. I have since gotten rid of it.

I would say 2-3 seconds in the most. You just press in on the handle and flip the little silver lock which releases the handle. I would never attempt to kick it away from the door because I make sure it's really tight against the door handle. I feel so much safer with this product and actually believe that you would have to destroy the door and door jam to get in. Surely you would hear someone trying to destroy your door. Great product and sooo easy to use.

It reads your fingerprint, then unlocks, then you turn the knob and it opens.

Yes. No problems just be sure you get the newer version with the enhancement for the start button. It necessary as older version has a neoprene cover that blocks the finger print recognition.

Yes, that is true, but when you moving to another room you just lift your finger. I originally thought this feature would be bothersome, it is not. I do suggest buy a second battery so you can go another 15 minutes.

I believe the biggest difference is that you don't have to swipe your finger. You just have to let your finger on it and it reads it.

The unlock button is one side only. It is not difficult to use the index finger to slide it if holding with left hand. See... your momma should have trained you to use your right hand like us correct people do! (Kidding of course). It is the nicest tongs I have ever owned.

Just to confirm...If you mean the finger print ID to access phone....Yes it will

You have to be able to open the safe in order to press a button allowing programming of another print. Mine works great for everyone in my family that have their prints entered, I have just one fingerprint that it doesn't always recognize. If your storing a weapon I would suggest you choose another finger. John J.

The fingerprint sensor does light up, but the number keypad does not. I hope that helps. I love the safe.

Not as a feature of the device, but if you set (via policy or local setting) the screensaver/Display to lock/require password, it can then be unlocked with just the fingerprint.

This safe doesn't read finger prints, only finger button combinations. They're basically just buttons you can program in any order to push and open

Not long enough to unlock my car door unfortunately. I would say a couple seconds.

I just recently reviewed the owner's manual for that same question. It appears that the auto lock feature is on or off and if on, relocks itself in 30 seconds. In my opinion, that is way too fast and having to reenter my code to unlock the door to come back in. Hope this helps.

There is a 4 digit key pad that you can use to instead of the biometric unit. Also the safe comes with a key back up in case the batteries die you can use the key to get into the safe.

You would probably need to contact the mfr on that question. I don't think the release would be a problem at that temp but the fingerprint scanner might.
