Biometric Safe from Ivation. Perfect firearm storage, and more safe.

Standard

Every home should have a safe. There are many different reasons to own one, from personal collections, special family mementos, fire arms, important paperwork, and more. I love the added security measure of being fingerprint enabled. That really adds another layer of protection to the safe. My mom immediately stated, that can be picked up and carried out of the home. Yes, it can if the criminal could find it, lol, but you can bolt it to the ground, and wall as well. My husband has installed many a safe into homeowner’s homes. It’s quite doable. In case you plan on storing your firearm in here, just check your state laws regarding fire arm storage laws along with ammunition storage. I like this as my handgun safe. I’ve been wanting one like this for that particular reason. I used to be a pharmaceutical nurse, and we signed in with our fingerprints. The safe runs off of 4 AA batteries. The battery compartment is located on the inside of the safe door. Be proactive on checking the battery power as an added safety measure for yourself. There is an emergency key entrance located on the underside of the front panel. You’ll see the grooves on the panel to open. You can register up to 32 fingerprints. I can see in some cases, more business related, how that many fingerprints can be needed. The small pamphlet of directions is actually very clear to follow. They include the emergency battery pack and the bolts to mount it to the floor and wall. These areas are predrilled for you already. The felt lining on the bottom is loose, so it’s easily removed and replaced as needed. There was no funky odor to the inside of the safe when I first opened it. I was so excited to see how easy it is to set the fingerprint. Press the reset button on the inside of the door, until you hear a beep. The fingerprint scanner will turn red. Press your finger against it until you hear a solid beep. Now it’s set. Just close the door and test it out. When you lock the door, wait a second until you hear the click. It does not lock right away. You need to wait about 3 seconds. If you hear three short beeps while setting it, it means registration failure. Now to set the pin. With the door open press your chosen number, and then press the reset button. After a very quick two beeps, press the number in again, and the reset button again. You should see the light turn green, and you’ll be good to go. Now, when you press the number to open it, press the # sign after pressing your code in. There is a metal shelf inside the safe as well. That also comes out if you do not want it in there. I’m amazed at how roomy this safe is in person. In my head, the measurements given, looked smaller in my head, lol. The measurements on the ad page are: 13.75″ x 10″ x 10″.  The inside measured out at 9 ¾” by 13.5” with my ruler. You can fit several handguns in here for sure, or a lot of jewelry, stamps, personal papers, receipts, and more in this safe. I have to say that my least favorite part of the safe, is the access panel on the front. That is where the emergency key entrance is, and backup battery access port it. The cover is hard to get off. That literally is my only issue with the safe. I am really impressed by the usability of the safe, and all the different options to access it. I love the fingerprint access; it’s awesome.

So much more than a watch box. -Satella’s Watch Box, Large.

Standard

Watch boxes can be so handy. I am a fan of using watch boxes for my jewelry. My older son also has one he uses for his watches and jewelry. This particular box is now being used by my husband. It is a 10 bay box, and the outer covering is pleather. It has 10 open compartments in it, and each compartment has a watch pillow in it. These pillows are removable. You can take the ones you don’t need, out, and use the compartments to store rings, necklaces, bracelets, tie bars, cuff links, and more. I love using these for earrings and bracelets. I can fit so many earrings in one compartment. Since the sides are so high, they can’t be lost, or roll away, when I’m looking through them. My husband has some watches, necklaces, bracelets, and extra watch links in his, so far. You can fit so much in a 10 bay box like this one.

This particular watch box is made quite well. I love the contrasting stitching on the case. It makes for a real sharp look. The case arrived with no odd odor to it at all. The pleather is in perfect condition. The top of the box is clear glass. I like being able to see in the box. The hardware is metal and has a silver, high polish chrome finish. This particular box does not have a lock on it. The lining has a soft velvet, cream colored finish to it. It’s pretty nice. It has a nice, clean look to it. This watch box measures out at: 10” long, 8 inches deep, and 3 ¼” tall. I find these boxes to be handier than a regular jewelry box. I was quite surprised by this the first time I received one. I am personally a convert now.
