It needs a dark woodgrain wrap (circa 1980s ge alarm clock). Perfection 👌

[@ryguy11794]

if only it was a functional alarm clock i would be sold

[@meee175]

It's not?? WTF? Not for $400.

[@dabanditz28]

Reminds me of the spykids watch "there was no room for the clock" 😂

[@coolbeans129]

Where do you anchor the Steel security cable to?

[@MarksTruckingLife]

I did mine on a steel rail on my bed frame.

[@jefftibbets2789]

how do you get the clock screen to stay on? when i lock it it goes off after 10 seconds?

[@chaserGB]

I literally would buy this if it had the alarm clock 😂

[@NWSafe]

You think people would actually use the alarm function? Even if there was an alarm function I think most people would just set their phone on the wireless charger and continue to use the alarm function on their phone.

[@chaserGB]

For me personally I keep my phone next to me by the bed. I would put this on the entertainment center by my tv. It’s a bit high. Reason I would like it to have the alarm is because I would be forced to get up in am to turn it off. I prefer to sleep next to my phone. But the real question is, is it that difficult to have the clock have ability to set an alarm?? Seems super simple. Like a no brainer, also I know I’m not the only one asking this question.

[@NWSafe]

@@chaserGB You are definitely not the only one asking this question. Thanks for the input.

[@pdxmarine1430]

@@NWSafe It's already got a phone app, if they just included a speaker, you could use it as an alarm clock set from your phone

It needs to be an alarm clock.

@@Mr_Woodsmokefor 500$ it seems fair to at least have an alarm I mean it is a clock 🤦‍♂️

​@mrwoodsmoke2744 it's $430. It needs to be an alarm clock.

[@vegeta420z]

@dp3500 where you find them that cheap? Vaultek is selling them for $480 + shipping.

[@UnknownUser_0000]

That what your cell.phone is for...smfh.

[@brianengel9267]

How is the biometric reader? I have the VS20i and the fingerprint reader is about 2% accurate.

[@NWSafe]

I’m someone who struggles with biometric readers. I’m not able to use most of them but I’ve had good luck with the Securam Scanlogic and I own a VS20i and DS2i with 2nd Gen readers and they consistently work for me.

[@MikeMiller-v9l]

I purposely leave my cell phone out of the bedroom to be free of it during the night. I need an alarm clock.

Will this fit a Glock 19x?

[@NWSafe]

Yes it will!

[@acensionabundiz9133]

I like to sleep in complete darkness, does this have a screen off function?

[@andrewbrown2584]

Yes

[@OFB307]

What happens if someone breaks in when you're not at home and they just pick this up and go? Does it have a location tracker?

[@NWSafe]

Vaultek offers two mounting plates (Under the table or on top of a table) that secure the safe to whatever you have it mounted to. Out of the box, it has a security cable you can wrap around the bed frame or nightstand, but we wouldn't recommend keeping anything of value in it while you're away. The Bluetooth app will tell you if someone is tampering with the safe while you're within distance of the safe but not away like their Wi-Fi models. The DS2i is meant for a quick access solution, not a long-term storage safe.

[@OFB307]

Thank you @@NWSafe

[@MGMidget73]

Great point. I won't be drilling holes in the top of my real cherry nightstand ruining it. Also cable is trashy trailer park looking. So it would be great to keep kids out of it, but if you have a older gun and it's dropped it could go bang.

[@abelmurillo8421]

Quick question. I just got mine but it is not wireless charging none of my iPhone or Galaxy S23 Ultra. Does that feature need to be activated somehow? Thanks a lot for your prompt reply 🙏🏻

[@NWSafe]

Charging should work right out of the box with no activation needed with the exception of plugging the power cord in. I would suggest either contacting Vaultek for troubleshooting or returning for a replacement unit.

[@truthof7382]

Older users dont use their cell phone for alarm clock. Not sure why they would eliminate that group.

[@dbiker207]

I would buy it if it had an alarm clock and wifi

[@NWSafe]

That is a really popular request. We hope to see that whenever they release the next revision.

[@Mr_Woodsmoke]

Do you own a cell phone?

[@no.9516]

@@Mr_Woodsmoke If you own a watch reassess how dumb this question was.

[@vegeta420z]

@no.9516 I haven't owned a watch in about a decade. Not saying I'm a fan of this product, matter of fact I think its overpriced, overhyped POS. And think Vaultek should be ashamed for selling them for as much as they do. But yeah watch, TV, alarm clock, and a radio (not attached to my car) are all things I no longer need or want.

[@jimbo4260]

I love Vaultek. I love that Ds2 Smart safe BUT.....COME ON GUYS. A one gun safe with a clock, the temp, the humidity, the cell charger pad....thats all non essential bull sh#$ that costs very little to put in. We have clocks on our phones, on the cable box, on our watch, on our walls, we don't need another clock or temp reading on a gun safe for $475.00. That's insane. I would buy it in a heartbeat for max.....$225.00. A 1 gun safe fellas. 1 gun....$475.00. That's a consumer insult. Good luck getting rid of them at $475.00

[@NWSafe]

No doubt they’re not cheap but it’s by far the fastest moving and best selling single unit we’ve ever sold. This isn’t the first Vaultek release where I’ve questioned the price but the continue to prove me wrong. I think it might be possible to see some promotional discounts in the distant future. Hornady makes a competitor called the Night Guard that’s about $145 less but it won’t have the same features and is not Biometric.

[@imcarried6927]

I just purchased the night guard and I’ve had some serious quality control issues with it. It’s just cheaply made and I believe mine is defective and I might be getting this safe instead

[@skyry101]

Is it possible to fit two subcompacts in that (i.e. Sig P365 and Glock 26)?

[@NWSafe]

@@skyry101 Yes, with plenty of room. On our showroom we have a P365 and the larger Glock 19 in our display model and it easily fits with room to spare.

[@LiveswithMartha]

Is it possible to bolt this down on to my nightstand?

[@hypersport1326]

Will my kimber 1911 fit in this

[@NWSafe]

The interior dimensions are - 9″ x 7.5″ x 1.5″ So we would say yes it does fit.

[@Rainlover1984]

Please share how to program the safe. All else is mute info until you get the hang of the programming basic. 😮

[@fireyourrocketts]

They are nice but horribly overpriced. I got a Fort Knox which was also no cheap; the clock humidity and temperature I already have in my phone. If these drop to couple hundred or under I would consider it.

[@no.9516]

This is an ad...not a review.

[@brianrussi4328]

Lol. That’s one way to look at it.

[@miken9484]

It's nice but it's not $480 nice.

[@NWSafe]

We get it they’re not cheap but ever since we started selling Vaultek over 5 years ago we were always skeptical what the demand was for premium pistol safes. We’ve even found ourselves saying they were “too expensive” to sell well with multiple of their product releases. We’ve made the mistake multiple times of doubting them and they have proven us wrong again and again. Each year Vaultek continues to be our best selling handgun safes and the DS2i was the most anticipated and fastest selling unit in our 36 year history of selling safes. Yes, they’re expensive but they are also the clear winners when you compare them to the competition.

[@daver3230]

This thing is a $500 turd. It doesn't have a wifi connection, so it won't notify you when you're out of the home, Its just a Chinese fingerprint safe with a charger added on.

[@jhammons2310]

It won’t notify you when you’re out of the home? I’m confused why you need to be told when you left your own house?

[@daver3230]

@@jhammons2310 it won’t notify you if the safe is tampered with when you’re out of Bluetooth range. The WiFi units will message you anywhere that the safe is being tampered with. Of course I’m not asking it to tell me that I’m not home.

[@definitelyduse]

Though WiFi would be best I feel like this is made for ur edc. I’d use this for my edc items. When I leave home it’ll be empty 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@theBishopmattp]

What would you recommend?

[@michaeljanik7206]

That’s why you have a security system. I don’t think there is any safe on the market that will satellite ping you and tell you that your safe was bumped or touched 😅

[@PitbullSoco]

"It looks just like an alarm clock" buuuuut for $400, its not

[@ThatCleanMT]

Sorry but Vaultek biometrics are utter trash. Give me a break dude. I almost laughed out loud when you said “best known for their quality biometrics” 😂

[@NWSafe]

We’ve sold a lot of Biometrics over the years and yes, Vaultek has some of the most reliable readers and locks we’ve seen. Our sample size is substantial since this specific unit is the fastest selling Vaultek release we’ve ever had. Most biometrics in the safe industry are price point trash. Vaultek is at the top of the heap. Sorry for not giving you the break, dude. 😉
