Rapid Safe Wall Mount for Long Guns

The product is simple to use, easy to mount, and works great. It is safe to prevent anyone other than authorized users from accessing, has a back up key should your forget your proximity key, best of all the price is not bad for what you get. The old saying is you get what you pay for. Amazon was great, and quickly shipped the product. I highly recommend the product for quick home security. I have had zero issues with the product.

Installed in 15 minutes. So simple! Makes sure where ever you install it there is room for the door to swing open. Keep in mind any attachments you have on your shotgun too (shell carrier, optics, sling). Receiver mounted shell holder and optics will not work with this safe. If you have a stock mounted shell carrier it may not work if mounted to a flat wall (not enough clearance). Mount to a stud!!!! You get multiple options for access. 2 RFID stickers to stick to whatever you want, 1 RFID key tag and one bracelet or watch and attachment. You can connect up to 5 RFID items. You can use the keypad with a 4 to 6 digit code that you choose. Last is the manual barrel type keys. Connect to power or run on four (4) AA batteries. If you choose batteries, don't go with cheap dollar store no name batteries. Get good quality batteries! Yes there are cheaper types of safes. None offer all of these access options. Under stress, keying in a code or using a key is not an option!!! Love the multiple RFID options. Spend the extra money.

Works as advertised. I bought one to install in my motorhome, to carry a 14" Remington 870 shotgun with Shockwave handgrip instead of a stock. The safe closes over the ejection port and also blocks the loading gate. It fits fine with the bulky MagPul fore-end pump slid back, but I hadn't realized that you must open the pump action to put the shotgun into the safe. So Hornady says the shotgun has to be unloaded. The safe has a metal block built into the inside that fits into the open ejection port, so the gun won't shift in either direction when it is locked. That why I gave it four stars instead of five. It doesn't work for a standby gun that you keep locked and loaded (without a round in the chamber) by the front door for emergencies. I'll do some experimentation to see if I can load the magazine tube but leave the chamber empty with the action open. The other issue with it is that while it comes with a separate wall fitting or bracket designed to capture the muzzle of the gun, and keep it from being used as a pry bar, it needs a similar support bracket at the other end if you mount it vertically, as I intend to do. Because without such a lower supporting bracket, when you pop open the safe, the shotgun can drop out of the safe onto your foot. But such a bracket should be easy to find in a hardware store and mount to the wall to support the butt of the gun. The safe comes with multiple methods for unlocking, including an electronic ID bracelet and some electronic tab stickers you can put on your phone or knife or wallet, whatever. When you place the object bearing the sticker near the safe, it opens. The safe also has some buttons that you program with a combination for opening without using those devices. The buttons might be a bit small to use sideways when your adrenaline is flowing, but that remains to be seen.

I only own one shotgun, so I don't need a full safe. I like the easy accessibility this wall lock provides, while keeping the gun secure. This product meets the California DOJ requirements for firearm safety . It is lined with egg crate foam, so it will not scratch your gun. The Rapid Safe can be used with the included AC adapter (although the cord is pretty short, about 24 inches or so) or 4 AA batteries. The clam shell lid can be opened with a 4 to 6 digit combination (but your only integers to work with are 1-4), a key or with one of four included RFID tags. My wristband tag was not recognized by the safe, so I'm taking off a star from my review. I have contacted Hornady directly about this. As mentioned by others, the lid pops open with some vigor, so I would be careful if mounting this vertically on a wall, especially since there is nothing included on which to rest your gun's stock. One other thing that affected me, and that I frankly should have researched a little better, is that this wall lock is designed to work with side ejection ports ONLY. My shotgun's ejection port is on the bottom, so if I try to insert the chamber block into the ejection port, the shotgun will be oriented vertically, which prevents the lid from closing. I'm sure Hornady doesn't recommend this, but I solved the problem by simply laying the gun upside down on the foam with the ejection port up against the chamber block. The lid closes fine, and covers the receiver and the trigger. It does slide a bit (about an inch), but I think this can be solved by adding a little block underneath for the stock when I do mount it on the wall. Or, simply mount it horizontally. Update 4/3/18: I received a response from Hornady customer service today, and it appears that I made a mistake while trying to pair the bracelet with the safe. It turns out that the RFID tag for the bracelet is located near the buckle, and not the decorative medallion in the center of the bracelet. Who knew? Anyway, I am upgrading my review to 5 stars, based partly on their prompt customer service.

I installed mine very quickly. Just had to drill 4 pilot holes in a stud. The piece of plastic on the inside fits inside my shotguns open chamber nicely and, when closed, the foam helps keep everything nice and snug. I really like how it springs open quickly and with force. Cons: I wish they would have updated their listing about one of the pieces. They have substituted the wristband with the RFID watch band tag. I bought the watch band separately and didn't have to. But, it fits great and works as a RFID every time. I was definitely not wearing their wristband everywhere.

Very fast to secure the shotgun and access,and several options for opening. I wish Hornady had left room for a holographic sight. I will certainly upgrade if a new design comes available.
