Our verdict

A quick bedside safe for owners who would rather tap a wristband than enter a code. Every tag opens it, so a lost decal or fob becomes a real security gap.

Overview

An RFID reader on the Hornady RAPiD Safe Night Guard opens it with a tap of the included wristband, key fob or adhesive decal, with no code to enter. Barrel keys serve as the manual backup, and a security cable plus a wall power supply come in the box.

Touch-free entry is the reason to choose it: a wristband worn at night or a decal on an object you carry opens the door without hunting for buttons in the dark. Anyone holding a tag can open it too, so control of every RFID token matters as much as the lock.

Who it's for

Owners who wake to a noise and want a handgun reachable with one tap of a wristband get the most from the RFID reader. Homes where tags could be misplaced or borrowed are better served by a code or fingerprint lock.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Opens with a wristband, fob or decal
  • No code to remember at night
  • Barrel keys as manual backup
  • Security cable included
Cons
  • Any enrolled tag opens it
  • Clock and USB ports not detailed in specs
  • Not water resistant
  • Listed depth figures do not match

Performance notes

Entry speed depends on the RFID reader catching the tag on the first pass, so where the wristband or decal is placed decides how fast it opens. The wall power supply runs the reader, with the barrel keys covering a power loss. The security cable ties the steel box to furniture, which makes carrying it off harder.
