Looks like a nice device.
Over the past twenty years or so, I have purchased two gun safes which have become "orphans". The first is a beautiful cherry wood nightstand gun box that is also a clock radio. Cost over $200, still works fine but the manufacturer went out of business years ago. If that digital keypad fails I'm out of luck.
The second device is a wall-mounted safe that has room for several guns plus jewelery, and valuable papers. It cost over $300 and it, too, has a digital keypad. Its manufacturer is also long gone - and the keypad did fail. I had retained the original owner's manual, which had instructions for drilling into the cover and jimmying the latch mechanism. I was able to repair the electronic lock, but it wasn't easy!!
The GunBox appears nicely made, but will the manufacturer be around in five or ten years if - when - it needs service?
