Key locks can be picked. Combinations locks can be hacked. If you don't believe it just spend a few minutes looking around YouTube. Only a biometric safe cannot be broken into.
We all know that everyone has different fingerprints. We were told that in second grade and we all felt special and unique, or at least that was what the teachers intended. Even identical twins have different fingerprints. It is common knowledge, like each snow flake being unique. Recreating your fingerprint will be impossible for even the most skilled thief when they are attempting to break into your safe.
Some have complained that they have trouble getting into their own biometric wall safe, claiming that the fingerprint recognition isn't working well. That is unlikely. It is more likely that they did not program the safe well. You usually get to store up to 30 or 40 fingerprints in your safe. You want to program your fingerprint at different angles. You will also want to program a few fingerprints of alternative fingers just in case of a burn or very severe cut.
There are some people who just shouldn't use these types of safes. People who work heavily with their hands and have calloused hands as a result may not want to use a biometric safe at all but that doesn't mean that the technology is bad.
