- Vaultek Safe® Barikade Series 1 (Biometric BKD1B-SB)
Overview
The Vaultek Barikade Series 1 (Biometric) is a slim, fast-access security case built to protect a compact handgun and small valuables. Constructed from 18-gauge formed steel with pry-resistant elements and an anti-impact latch, this model balances strength with portability for bedside, vehicle, or travel use.
Many buyers worry that a safe could slow them down in an emergency. The biometric Barikade addresses that directly with a responsive fingerprint scanner plus Vaultek’s Smart Sense™ touch-activated keypad—giving near-instant access for authorized users while keeping others out. Northwest Safe provides local setup help and ongoing support so you’re comfortable using it from day one.
