Are you sure it's biometric? I think it requires a 4-digit code or the included key to open, not fingerprint or other biometrics.

From what I see....
It needs batteries
It beeps when you push the buttons
The door crashes open noisily
It might alarm if you make a mistake under stress

Nonetheless, it is a good buy if you don't already have a quick access solution.

I went to the mfg website to see if the beeps and alarm could be disabled but I couldn't find a manual to download.
The crashing door could be dealt with.
Then there is the battery thing. ...Batteries die and leak.

Update
After seeing youtubes about these boxes, I withdraw my statement about buying this.
It looks like a real loser.
