  • Our take on the Slider Series - Essential

    The Vaultek Slider Series Essential is a slim, vertically oriented pistol safe built from steel with a ball-bearing rail that slides the drawer open quickly. It opens with a backlit five-digit Smart Sense keypad, runs on four AAA batteries for about a year or on the included power cable, and has interior LED lighting plus a foam holster for one pistol and a spare magazine. It fits handguns up to 8.875 inches overall, including ones with an optic mounted. The included mounting plate uses standard VESA 75mm and 100mm hole patterns and lets the safe lift off for transport, so it works under a desk, beside a nightstand or in a vehicle. It suits owners who want fast, discreet access to a full-size pistol rather than a bulky biometric box.

    About the Slider Series - Essential

    The Vaultek Slider Series Essential is a slim, vertical pistol safe. It holds one pistol up to 8.875" in overall length, optics included, plus one spare magazine. It can sit under a desk or nightstand, on a bookshelf, or in a vehicle.

    The body is 16-gauge carbon steel with a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. A single anti-impact latch keeps the safe locked under impact. A three-point precision rail system with ball bearing guides opens the safe quickly and presents the firearm in the ready position. The interior has a high-density foam holster and LED lighting that turns on when the safe is open.

    The safe opens with a backlit 5-digit Smart Sense keypad or a backup manual key. It runs on 4 AAA batteries, which last up to one year or more, or on the included power cable. The included proprietary mounting plate supports multiple mounting configurations, including standard VESA 75mm and 100mm hole patterns. An authorized user can remove the safe from the plate in seconds.
