Overview
The Grimtron is a compact single-pistol safe built for a car, nightstand, or travel bag, opening on a backlit keypad code or a backup key rather than a fingerprint scanner. Its steel cable is meant to anchor it to a seat frame or luggage rack so the box cannot simply be lifted out and taken.
Where many nightstand safes lead with biometrics, Grimtron keeps things to a keypad and physical key, trading scan speed for something that keeps working regardless of finger condition or sensor wear. At 11.02 by 7 by 1.85 inches and 3.7 pounds it is built to slide under a car seat or into a bag rather than sit as a fixed household unit, and the low profile is the point.
- 11.02 x 7 x 1.85 inches, about 3.7 lbs
- Alloy steel construction
- Silent mode for discreet keypad use
- Padded interior to limit scratching
Who it's for
Best for someone who wants one handgun secured on the move, under a vehicle seat, in luggage, or beside a bed, rather than a household looking to store several firearms in one place.
Pros and cons
- Backlit keypad readable in low light
- Backup keys included alongside code entry
- Steel cable for securing it to a seat or fixture
- Slim 1.85 inch profile fits under a vehicle seat
- Holds a single handgun only
- 4 AAA batteries not included
- No fingerprint access option
Performance notes
Entry is by a 3 to 8 digit code on a backlit keypad, with the included keys as the backup path if the code is forgotten or the keypad fails. The USB-C port is explicitly for emergency power to the keypad when batteries die, not for recharging them, and the unit ships without its 4 AAA batteries. The steel security cable and pre-drilled mounting holes give two ways to keep it from being grabbed and carried off, one portable and one fixed.
