Viking Security Safe VS-20BLX

2.7/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)

My pick for the owner's locked closet, not the guest room: a mini biometric safe from Viking that stores 32 fingerprints and one PIN, with a motorized 20 mm deadbolt, an LED light and four anchor bolts.

Who it's for

What we like

  • Fingerprint, PIN or override key; prints stay in memory
  • Interior LED light, carpeted floor and 4 anchor bolts
  • Fingerprint, PIN and backup key entry
  • 5 mm door and 20 mm motorized bolts
  • Four anchor bolts included
  • Fingerprint, PIN and key; prints survive a battery swap

What to know first

  • Fingerprints must be enrolled and deleted for each person, which is why I keep it host-only
  • Small interior, about 0.4 cu ft
  • No fire protection
  • Changing batteries means removing the LED light unit
  • 5 mm door and 2 mm body, thin steel
