Vrothkain 3-5 Gun Biometric Safe Review: Ready-to-Use Rifle Cabinet
The Vrothkain 3-5 Gun Biometric Safe is a slim, upright cabinet that the seller says arrives fully assembled and holds up to five rifles, with two handgun pockets and two ammo boxes built in. It pairs a fingerprint reader with a keypad and backup keys, and adds an alarm that reacts to wrong attempts and to impact or prying. It suits a buyer who wants a ready-to-use, wall-mounted rifle cabinet at the lower end of the price range and who is happy to verify a few details first. It is a poor match if you need a fire rating, a certification, or a brand with a long public record, since the listing shows few customer reviews so far.
Bottom line:
- Best for: a no-assembly cabinet for up to five rifles with fingerprint, keypad and key access in a bedroom or closet.
- Main strength: dedicated handgun pockets and ammo boxes, a lockout and alarm routine, and 20 mm locking bolts per the seller.
- Main limit: little third-party feedback so far, no fire rating, and a mismatch about what ships in the box.

Access and lock
There are three ways in: a fingerprint sensor, a digital keypad and backup keys. The seller says the fingerprint reader is fast and accurate, and describes the keypad as the reliable alternative. The key is the mechanical fallback if both electronic methods fail.
The security routine is the more interesting part. The seller says the safe locks itself for 20 seconds after three wrong passwords or five failed fingerprint scans, and sounds an audible alarm. A short lockout slows down a guesser without locking out the owner for long. It also means that a stressed owner who misreads the keypad three times should expect a brief wait, so practice the code until it is automatic.
Fingerprint readers vary in how well they handle damp, cold or worn fingers, and the listing offers no figures. Enroll each user’s fingers several times at different angles, and treat the keypad as your main path at first until you see how reliable the reader is for your hands. The listing does not state how many fingerprints can be stored, so check that if more than one household member needs access.
Build and security features
The seller describes reinforced cold-rolled steel with 20 mm solid locking bolts for anti-pry and anti-tamper protection, while the specification table lists alloy steel. The two descriptions are not identical, which is another reason to treat the construction as seller language. No gauge or thickness number is listed, and neither is a fire rating or a certification.
The alarm system is described as detecting impact and prying in addition to the repeated-attempt lockout, though the listing text we reviewed is cut off mid-sentence after that. The alarm is a useful deterrent in a house with other people around, but an audible siren does not stop a tool from working on a door. Think of it as a warning and a way to notice tampering, not as armor.
As with any cabinet in this price range, it is a reasonable way to keep rifles away from children and casual access, and a poor stand-in for a rated safe. Child-access and storage laws vary by state, so check the rules where you live.
Interior and fit
The seller says the cabinet is 54 inches tall and 11.8 inches wide and deep, holding up to five rifles up to 50 inches long, with or without scopes. Each firearm is described as having its own dedicated space, and two handgun pockets plus two ammo boxes cover the extras. The listing also mentions removable parts in the interior, though the text is truncated, so check the photos for which pieces come out.
The specification table lists capacity as 7520 cubic inches. That number is what you get by multiplying the outside dimensions, so it describes the outer envelope and not the usable interior. Do not use it to judge fit. Instead, measure the length of your longest rifle, including the optic and any muzzle device, against the 50 inch limit. Five rifles in an 11.8 inch width is a tight arrangement for chunky stocks, so be realistic about how many your particular rifles will allow.
The handgun pockets are a welcome organizing feature, since loose pistols tend to slide around a rifle cabinet. The listing does not give pocket dimensions, so confirm that your pistol fits.
Mounting and placement
The spec table lists wall mount, and the seller says pre-drilled holes and expansion bolts allow you to anchor it firmly to a wall or the floor. A 54 inch tall cabinet should be anchored regardless, since a narrow upright cabinet can tip. The spec table lists only an instruction manual under included components, while the seller text mentions expansion bolts. Check the listing images and any questions and answers to confirm whether hardware is in the box, and buy suitable anchors if it is not.
Choose a wall with a stud or masonry rather than hollow drywall, and leave space for the door to open fully. A closet corner is a natural spot since the footprint is small, at under a foot square.
Power and batteries
The listing text we reviewed does not name the battery type, battery life or any external power port. Electronic and biometric cabinets depend on power, so find out how it is powered and what happens when the cells go flat before you rely on it. The backup keys are the stated fallback, which is why you should keep them in a separate secure place that is not the cabinet and not a spot a child can reach.
What owners say
No summary of owner feedback was available for this product at the time of writing, and the listing shows few reviews so far. We will not make up themes. When you read the customer reviews, check for:
- How consistently the fingerprint reader recognizes enrolled fingers, and how many prints can be stored.
- Whether five rifles really fit, and what kind.
- Whether anchor bolts were included in the box.
- Battery behavior and any low-battery warnings.
- Delivery condition, since a fully assembled cabinet ships as a bulky package.
Pros and cons
Strengths: no assembly, three access methods, 20 mm locking bolts per the seller, a lockout and alarm routine, handgun pockets and ammo boxes, and a small footprint. Weaknesses: few reviews so far, no fire rating or certification, unclear battery information, an unclear hardware list, and a tight width for five rifles.
How it compares
The alternatives we track for this page are handgun boxes, so they solve a different problem, and the comparison is mostly about whether you need a rifle cabinet at all. If your real need is a handgun by the bed, a cabinet is more than you need. The Vaultek LifePod 20 is a portable polymer case with a backlit keypad and backup keys that the seller says holds a full-size handgun up to 9.25 inches long.
The Hornady RAPiD Safe RFID opens with a wristband, fob or sticker and a key, and the Hornady RAPiD Safe Keypad Vault adds a keypad and is meant to be bolted down. The StopBox USA is a mechanical push-button case with no battery at all, which avoids the power questions that come with any biometric cabinet.
None of them stores a rifle. If you want to keep long guns in one cabinet and a pistol in a bedside box, pairing the two is a common approach. For the category overview, see our best gun safes page.

Final verdict
The Vrothkain 3-5 Gun Biometric Safe is a reasonable low-cost way to get up to five rifles into a locked, ready-to-use cabinet with fingerprint, keypad and key access, plus handgun pockets and a lockout routine that shows some thought. What it lacks is evidence. There are few customer reviews so far, no gauge or fire rating, and the hardware and battery details need checking. If you are comfortable verifying those and anchoring it properly, it is worth a look. If you need a rated or certified safe, look elsewhere. Storage rules vary by state, so check yours.
Vrothkain 3-5 Gun Biometric Safe FAQ
How many rifles fit in the Vrothkain 3-5 gun safe?
The seller says up to five rifles up to 50 inches long, with or without scopes, plus two handgun pockets and two ammo boxes. The cabinet is only 11.8 inches wide, so thick stocks and optics may reduce the number. Measure your rifles before ordering.
How does the Vrothkain biometric safe open?
It has three entry options: a fingerprint sensor, a digital keypad and backup keys. The seller says it locks for 20 seconds after three wrong passwords or five failed fingerprint scans and sounds an alarm. Store the keys separately from the cabinet.
Does the Vrothkain safe come with mounting bolts?
The seller text mentions pre-drilled holes and expansion bolts, but the specification table lists only an instruction manual as included. Check the listing images and questions, and be ready to buy anchors suited to your wall if none are in the box.
Does the Vrothkain 3-5 need assembly?
The seller says it arrives fully assembled and ready to use, with thick cardboard and high-density foam packaging. Because it is a tall cabinet, plan for two people to move it and check for dents or damage on delivery.
Is the Vrothkain 3-5 gun safe fire rated?
No fire rating, certification or steel gauge appears in the information we reviewed. The seller describes reinforced cold-rolled steel and 20 mm locking bolts. If fire protection matters, choose a model that publishes a tested rating.
