VERPROOF Keypad Gun Safe Review: Slim Single-Pistol Box
The VERPROOF Keypad Gun Safe is a narrow, single-pistol drawer box meant to sit on a nightstand, desk or dresser or hang on a wall, and it sits in the under $50 range on the listing. It is built for a simple job: keep one handgun out of casual reach while letting an authorized adult get to it quickly. Based on the listing, it suits a first-time buyer, a guest room or a second location where a full-size box would be overkill. It is a poor match if you own several handguns, want a large interior or need a fire rating.
Bottom line:
- Buy it for a very low-cost, space-saving, single-pistol box that can mount on a wall or sit on a surface.
- Skip it if you need room for more than one handgun, a fire rating or published steel specs.
- Check which lock variant you are ordering: the listing mixes keypad and fingerprint wording.
This review uses the Amazon listing, the brand’s own description and general safe-storage knowledge. We have not handled the unit ourselves, so nothing here is a lab result. Where the listing is vague, we say what to check before buying.

Access and lock
The title calls this a keypad gun safe, and the description refers to a numeric keypad version for quick access. The brand description also shows biometric versions in black and white, and the spec table lists the lock type as “Key” with a biometric fingerprint special feature. In short, the Amazon page seems to cover more than one version of the safe, and the data we have does not tell you which one you will receive. Before ordering, select the variant you want and confirm on the product images and the title that it matches your preference for keypad or fingerprint.
What the listing does describe is a simple setup. The seller says programming involves reading the instructions, and you are done, and a low-battery warning sounds when the batteries run down. A mechanical key is included, which is important for any electronic lock, since it gives you a way in if the batteries die. Store that key separately from the safe and out of reach of children.
Because the data does not give details such as the number of codes, the lockout rules after wrong attempts or the speed of the opening, we cannot make claims about them. If those matter to you, look in the Q&A or the manual.
Build and security features
The seller says the body is made of thicker steel with foam lining inside the unit. The spec table lists alloy steel. No gauge is given, and there is no pry rating, no fire rating and no water resistance information. At this price, you should treat it as a basic child-resistance and casual-theft deterrent, not as a defense against a determined burglar with tools. The slim shape and light weight are part of the appeal, but they also mean the box can be carried or pried more easily than a heavier safe, which is why anchoring it to a wall matters.
The foam lining does a practical job: the seller says it protects the sidearm from damage and abrasions, reduces rattling and helps position the handgun for quick retrieval. An interior LED helps you see in a dim room.
Interior and fit
This is a one-pistol design, and the listing gives exterior dimensions only: 7.32 inches deep, 3.7 inches wide and 14.53 inches tall. The listing does not give an interior size. With a 3.7 inch exterior width, the interior will be narrow, so it is intended for a slim handgun profile, and wider pistols, larger optics or weapon lights may not fit. Before ordering, compare your handgun’s length, height and width against the dimensions in the product images and ask a question in the Q&A if they are not shown.
Keep these checks in mind:
- Handgun length and grip height, since the pistol sits inside a tall, narrow compartment.
- Whether a light, laser or optic changes the width.
- How the foam positions the gun and whether it is cut for a particular size.
- That the drawer opens fully with the space around the unit.
Mounting and placement
The spec table lists wall mounting, and the seller says it can be placed on a nightstand, desk or dresser. The drop-down drawer opens by sliding, which the seller says makes it quick and discreet. Think through the placement:
- Wall: mounting to a stud or solid backing makes the box much harder to remove. The listing does not describe the hardware, so check what is in the box.
- Nightstand or dresser: the narrow 3.7 inch footprint means it can sit on a surface, but it is tall at 14.53 inches, so make sure it is stable and out of sight.
- Clearance: the drawer slides out, so leave room in front.
Whatever the location, keep it out of reach of children, and remember that storage laws vary by state, so check the rules where you live.
Power and batteries
The description says the unit takes four AA alkaline batteries, which are not included, so add them to your order. A low-battery warning is listed. The seller also mentions a USB Type-C charging port, which suggests another way to supply power, though the listing excerpt does not say whether it recharges anything or simply provides power in an emergency. Check the manual before relying on it.
Good habits: fit fresh batteries on a schedule, test the keypad and the key after each change, and never store the only key inside the safe.
What owners say
The listing data we had did not include a summary of owner feedback, so we will not invent themes. The listing is marked as widely reviewed, so there should be plenty of commentary on the page. For a budget safe, these are the topics worth scanning:
- How consistently the lock responds, and how quickly the drawer opens.
- Battery life and how loud the low-battery warning is.
- What size handguns fit in practice, and how the foam holds them.
- The sturdiness of the wall mount and the finish of the steel.
- Whether the version that arrived matched the one that was ordered.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Very low price band, under $50 at the time of writing.
- Slim, wall-mountable single-pistol drawer design.
- Foam lining and an interior LED light.
- Low-battery warning and a USB Type-C port.
- Includes a backup key.
Cons
- Holds only one handgun, with a narrow interior.
- Listing mixes keypad and fingerprint wording, so the variant is unclear.
- Batteries are not included.
- No steel gauge, pry rating, fire rating or water resistance listed.
How it compares
If you want fingerprint access in a similar slim format, the RPNB RP311F review covers a vertical biometric box that can be mounted from the side or top, also in the under $100 range. The ONNAIS Iron Pro review looks at a wall-mount unit with fingerprint, keypad, a backup key and an emergency USB-C option.
For more interior space, the BILLCONCH biometric handgun safe review describes a body that can hold one large or two standard handguns, with an app and up to 40 fingerprints. If you would rather step up to a steel RFID nightstand box, the Hornady RAPiD Safe Night Guard review describes 14-gauge steel, four RFID tags and a lock-down cable, though its price varies.

Final verdict
The VERPROOF Keypad Gun Safe is a budget answer to a narrow need: one handgun, one drawer, one small footprint. Its strengths are the price, the slim shape, the foam lining and the wall-mount flexibility. Its weaknesses are the single-pistol capacity, the confusing lock wording on the listing and the lack of published steel, fire or pry information. If you pick the right variant, add batteries and anchor it properly, it can be a sensible low-cost bedside box. If you need more than that, move up to one of the alternatives above.

VERPROOF Keypad Gun Safe FAQ
How many handguns does the VERPROOF safe hold?
It is a single-pistol design. The listing gives exterior dimensions of 7.32 x 3.7 x 14.53 inches and no interior size, so the interior is narrow. Check your handgun’s length, height and width, including any light or optic, before ordering.
What batteries does it need?
The description says four AA alkaline batteries, which are not included. A low-battery warning is listed, and there is a USB Type-C charging port. Check the manual for what that port does, and test the lock after each battery change.
Is it a keypad or a fingerprint safe?
The title says keypad, but the spec table lists a biometric fingerprint feature and the brand description shows both keypad and biometric versions. Confirm the exact variant, color and lock type on the page before you buy.
Can I mount it on a wall?
Yes. The spec table lists wall mounting, and the seller says it can also sit on a nightstand, desk or dresser. The listing does not describe the mounting hardware, so check the images and consider anchoring to a stud or solid backing.
What if the batteries die?
A mechanical key is listed as included. Keep it somewhere separate and secure, not inside the safe, and replace the batteries on a schedule. Test the key once when you set up the safe.
