What’s up, guys? Welcome back to the Ultimate Tech Hub. Today we’re reviewing a biometric gun safe from a company called 2A4 Life. This safe includes a 500 DPI fingerprint sensor, six-button keypad, and two override keys. It’s built from solid, pry-resistant steel and includes an adjustable shelf. It can be mounted to the floor, wall, or shelf, and the mounting bolts are included.

We already own two safes of different styles, so we’ll compare those with this new model at the end of the video.

Unboxing: The safe is heavy and feels very solid. It includes a user manual, battery pack, override keys, four AA batteries, mounting bolts, and the adjustable interior shelf. The battery pack powers the keypad and fingerprint sensor.

The front panel features:

Knob for locking/unlocking
Six-button keypad
Indicator lights
Fingerprint sensor
Hidden key slot under a removable cover

To access the battery compartment, open the door using the override key. Batteries go behind a black panel inside the door. The reset button is also located here. After installing the batteries, use factory code 1234# to unlock. Then change the code by entering the old code + #, then the new code + # again.

Fingerprint setup:

Enter code + #
Press reset button inside the door
Scan your fingerprint until a green light confirms success

This safe can store up to 120 fingerprints. Interior dimensions are 13.5 x 8.75 x 9.5 inches and it features three live door bolts. You can choose single or dual mode (code + fingerprint) for access.

Comparison with other safes:

Brinks Safe: Large and heavy, but requires a key and dial combo. Time-consuming.
Smaller Safe: Easy access via keys or finger-button code, but limited capacity.

The 2A4 Life Safe stands out for its functionality and size. It’s easy to use and offers excellent security features at a reasonable price—$169.94 with free shipping in the U.S.
