Viking Security VS-12BL
Score: 65/100
Barska Biometric Wall Safe
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Barska Biometric Wall Safe offers discreet, flush-mount security with DOJ approval and support for 120 fingerprints. Its primary limitation is the shallow interior depth, which restricts storage to small valuables and documents. It is best suited for multi-user households needing hidden storage in standard wall studs.
The Viking Security Safe VS-12BL is a compact, wall-mounted biometric safe designed for rapid, keyless access to valuables such as pistols, documents, or cash. While it offers quick entry and concealed mounting options, it lacks fireproofing and waterproofing capabilities. It is ideal for discreet wall mounting behind pictures for discreet protection against casual theft and for multi-user households requiring up to 32 fingerprint entries.
