The light in the DAC Sportsafe goes out after the door has been open for a few seconds. The beeping can be turned off.

I purchased a cheap adjustable power supply from Harbor Freight to save the batteries.

I wouldn't worry too much abou the beeping thing. my hand glided over those keys so fast it was one sound almost. personally for a bedside safe, i wouldn't get something that takes more than 1-2 seconds to get open. in the store time yourself and make sure the spring loaded door is repeatedly opening fast, the same each time.

btw, the alarm ended up being the damn cat playing with a door sensor, but I was ready if it was needed.

i sincerely hope you took "care" of the cat.

dogs rule.

i love my gun vault. and i do not worry about the beeping, because if the alarm is going off, the beeping will not be heard. if by some chance the beeping is heard by a BG, so be it. it may just be the last thing he ever hears.

Yea.
Judging from your avatar, you could just let the Cat handle it!
