- Viking Security Safe VS-50BLX Large Fingerprint Cabinet Safe - Black

I’m very happy with this safe and have no regrets about buying it. I actually chose it based on ChatGPT’s recommendation after comparing several different models. The fingerprint reader is fast and reliable. If you’re looking for a reliable biometric safe that’s easy to use every day, I highly recommend this one.

very nice safe and works well. I love the biometrics on it .. very sleek and fast to get into.. im guessing in and out in less then 15 secs or possibly 10 secs.. but the led light that is built in is a huge bonus.. i have another biometric safe and it does not have the led light and i have to use my ball cap light just to see what im grabbing and this led light gives you enough light to see on all shelves as well..Thick gauge steel and is very solid and a must have for the homeowner who has either guns/medicine/or just precious metals/and coin collections etc.. it has room for all of these things. and the shelves are interchangeable and have a carpet covering to dampen the sounds of putting your kilo bars of silver in it or a gun if need be..so if you had an intruder then he wouldnt hear you getting your gun out of the safe..lol,,, but this is the fastest kind of safe for quick draws or bugging out or to keep family collectibles,stocks and bonds or legal documents for quick access..like in my case i have custody of my daughter and i keep my custody order in there along with medical info and and highly important documents as well as passports ans visas.. The only thing that i see that is not good is the light duty plastic shelf and clips . just had a few broken clips for the shelves and some paint/powder coat scratched off from shipping but i am now waiting on the seller to send me some touch up paint and a few more clips.. they give you some for extras but i had to use most of them.. but after i get it touched up and and have spare clips for future moves..then i will say It was the best safe ive ever bought..lol so seller if you see my request please respond back so i can mount this thing already..lol waiting on the touch up paint and a few more shelf clips..

Great Safe. Has lasted for years. Reads fingerprint perfect every time m.

Hate to give this a negative review. Really wanted it to work. Everything about it worked perfectly. Until I finally got around to bolting it down. Drilled the holes. Mounted the bolt assemblies on the bottom of the safe so as not to lose the bottoms down the holes. Carefully lowered the safe with the bolts down into the holes. Then tried to tighten them down from the inside. The casings just spun in place. Guess I shouldn't have expected anything else. Realized I could've drilled the holes a little more snugly, but they were right in between 7/16 and 1/2 inch and there's nothing on the casings themselves that would keep them from spinning. Tried to make up for my mistake with electrical and Teflon tape around the casings to make them more snug. Hoping they would catch and stay. Lowered the safe in again. It was a tighter fit this time and tightening some of the bolts down gave me hope. But after tightening them for some time I could still lift the sides of the safe and move it around. Not secure in the least. So I gave up on these bolts and worked for a while to get them out again and push the casings, which were bent despite my careful tightening, down into the floor so I could buy some real anchor bolts. And that's where I am now. I'll look around here and I'll probably run down to Lowe's to see what I can find. If you're going to bolt this safe down, which, in my opinion, is the only thing that makes it a safe, just throw the bolts that come with it away when they arrive and plan on getting something real. Other than that, I think the safe will be excellent. But for the shear frustration and time spent messing with these horrible bolts, this gets one star. I'm updating this review after cooling down a bit. I went down to Lowe's and found toggles that go by the brand-name Toggler. Snaptoggle, to be more specific. I'm so impressed with this little piece of engineering. They went right into the half-inch holes I had already drilled and – unlike the bolts that came with the safe – held themselves in place while I put the safe on top and put in the screws. The screws don't look like much, but the package says they'll hold 800 pounds each in concrete or 250 pounds each in half inch drywall. Oh, and I bought some #10 washers too for the screws because the openings in the bottom of the safe are larger than the heads. I figure that if the four of them together will require between 1000 and 3200 pounds of force to pull up then at least a pretty hefty sledge hammer would be required to get the safe up off the floor. The floor would probably come up first. At least it won't be easy. And that's the whole point. So these toggles saved the day for Viking. It would have been so easy for Viking to include something like this in the package instead of the worthless bolts they sent. A five dollar value. Hopefully they'll throw them in in the future and save people all the trouble. So four stars now for what still seems to be an excellent safe that required a lot of extra trouble on my part to install.

I purchased this safe in 2017, it is time tested and true! Rock solid safe, quality meets value. Secure, was able to easily bolt it to my floor Reliable biometric, works every time for easy and fast opening. Plenty of space to secure valuables and paperwork. Key pad function in addition to biometric is a nice touch offering additional flexibility to open the safe. Open door reminder is a great touch. Locking mechanism is sturdy and stable. This is a fantastic safe highly recommend you will not be disappointed.

This viking safe is all I need for my personal private valuables it has dual security finger or pin code and fur added safety they also include two emergency keys but very important to not leave your keys in the safe like I did.

I love my viking safe it's a great product , so easy to use. Many great features.

My kid opened this safe by pushing the star and pound buttons. Did the programming the way instructions showed. Worked for a while but my child opened and grabbed a gun. Luckily the magazine wasn’t in because I just cleaned the pistol and hadn’t loaded it yet. I keep my pistols usually locked and loaded ready to go. I am so grateful I decided to clean my pistol and that my son didn’t shoot himself. That was the scariest thing I’ve experienced as a father. What a piece of crap this safe is. The instructions say that you can change the batteries and the settings will remain the same. NOT SO!!!! They work intermittently and when you go through the step by step setup after changing the batteries, the passcode does not work. The star and pound keys open the safe no matter what. This is an extremely Dangerous design. Luckily my lawyer says we have a case. Suing the pants off these people. Looks like others are having similar issues. Poor design and you get what you pay for. Cheap Chinese junk. Junk junk JUNK!!!!
