Rated to 135 degrees F for 2.5 hours.
Note for older potential buyers: Your fingerprints degrade over time and the result is they are harder to read by these devices.

If it can store multiple fingerprints, try registering multiple fingers in case the first one doesn't work.

As noted, the point is to keep nosy folks out, and for you to get in quick, not to stop a thief.

Also, fire ratings are for *paper* catching fire. It will not protect thumb drives or plastics (such as recent passports). For that you'll need a "data safe". And of course, data safes are not rated for theft deterrence/strength, just heat/fire.

There are burglary ratings for safes, but that puts you in the $500+ range to start.

Look for a safe and vault store online for guidance on those products.

At this price range, it is likely to be a rebranded Sentry or Honeywell. Definitely check what LPL has to say if he's reviewed it.

Vaultek does make some decent gun safes. Also, check into "Dorm Safes" if fingerprint convenience is needed as well as some theft deterrence. They use a cable loop around a sturdier object (like a bolted bed frame or structural post/pipe) for deterring theft.
I know it's not in the same stratosphere, but I owned a safe similar to this that I got for free. I would never rely on a fingerprint reader when you need critical, speedy access to what's within. I had to register my fingerprint as 4 separate users and it would still get hung up.

I bought this [amazon.com] and it's fantastic. Mine took a 9V battery (looks like they've updated it to be rechargeable), gave a low battery alarm, a tamper alarm, and the combo works fast and easy Every. Single. Time. It's spendy, but the unit is absolute quality. The 20 series will fit a full size and a subcompact with room for a magazine or two if you're creative. If it weren't so spendy, I'd put one in my vehicle as well.

I want a smaller safe with a mechanical code. I prefer these things not have batteries or electronics. I'm in no hurry to open it, and don't want additional complexity that can fail.
Any suggestions?

How fireproof is this, and how easy is it to hack the biometric scanner?
It's probably about as secure as the backup physical lock and key. Safes like this are notoriously low security and tend to have lots of vulnerabilities. The physical locks are often very low quality and easy to pick.

GunSafeReviewsGuy.com/ [gunsafereviewsguy.com]has a lot of good background on picking a secure gun safe if you're interested.

Got one to store my ccw pew pew in, for the living room. In plain sight. Just to keep children out. Plus, deal is ending so buy now - return later, if need be. Lol.

Yes, I too keep it in my living room, in plain sight, screwed down to furniture. I don't use it to keep burglars away from valuables. I use it to throw my every day carry into when I am downstairs. That way little ones don't play with my loaded gun. Afterwards, I conveniently place my finger on the scanner and retrieve it. Very handy and provides safety for little ones. On the plus side, when it is empty, burglars would likely try to steal it instead of something else of value since they probably imagine that it is full of gold and money.
