How to Change Your Lock Combination

59 reviews for Tactical Top Draw-Quick Access Handgun Security Case with Simplex Lock, American Made, Quality and Convenience at your fingertips.

  1. Fred Z –

    This my fourth handgun safe. I am very pleased with them. I forgot how to open it and contacted customer support. They responded very quickley and were very helpful. I highly recommend V-Line.

  2. David G (verified owner) –

    This is exactly what I wanted. After shopping biometric/electronic safes vs mechanical locks my choice was clear. The Top Draw-Quick Access uses a Simplex lock which I am familiar with because I have already have a Simplex safe I have been using for over 20 years. The Simplex lock works on a combo of buttons that are pushed and followed with the turn of a knob. No batteries to worry about. The combo is really easy to set. I bought the optional security cable to attach it to my bed frame. Plus I can use the cable to secure the case in my car. This box is strong and heavy- about 10 lbs. This case will definitely secure your guns from children and curious adults.

  3. Mo K (verified owner) –

    Feature-rich secure box including simple fully mechanical locking mechanism, adequate foam inserts to prevent even small contents from shifting, and 2 ways to secure the box to furniture or a solid base.

  4. MIchael H (verified owner) –

    Solid construction, made in the USA, with a simple mechanical lock

  5. Bland A. S. –

    This is my first lock box. This lock box is well constructed, durable, easy to use, is completely mechanical and doesn’t require batteries. The VA sent me this lock box and I approve on their decision to purchase such a fine product.

  6. Darrow Palma –

    I purchased this item on Amazon for my Legion 320 Sig and I could not easily find the L latch to clear the old security code. I pressed the L latch but nothing works. I am disappointed in how little depth of the inside has for a full-size gun. I had to rip off the grey foam just to close the lid.

  7. Michael H. –

    This is my second Top Draw Locking Tactical Gun Storage Box. I find them to be sturdy, made of top quality material, and easy to setup.

  8. Craig –

    I have a couple of these units and I find them the optimal solution for quickly accessible secure home or business storage of defensive handguns. No batteries, no fingerprints, no WiFi, no smartphone app required – just choose a button pattern you can easily remember. The simplex lock is easily operated in the dark or without looking directly at the safe. When locked, the safe is very secure from anyone that doesn’t know the combination. This is a very solidly built tamper resistant safe with a full length hinge, secure locking mechanism and thick steel body and lid. Absolutely would buy again.

  9. jeffrey m –

    Perfect for any handgun, Safe, Great Quality. Child proof and Never needs Batteries.

  10. Rusty H. –

    Searched around for a quick access safe that was purely mechanical. After reading alot of reviews I was steered to Vline’s site. The price point was lower than others with the same features and size. I received this safe and am truly impressed with the quality and ease of use. I was able to fit my Glock and multiple mags inside with room to spare. Would recommend.

  11. Alex –

    This is a high quality handgun safe. The dimensions were just right for my compact CCW and the space it is kept. The simplex lock is straightforward and fool proof. Excellent Safe.

  12. Chuck Moses –

    Purchased a Compact Model 279-S CC DOJ approved compact security case. Only 5lbs and easy to use. No batteries to fail or keys to fumble in the dark. Keeps my pistol secure in a small out of sight space (less than 10x8x2 inches) in by vehicle when I go to a place where carrying concealed is prohibited. Easy to program a personal code to open the heavy steel container. Fully padded to protect its contents and has a couple of holes in the bottom to secure it to a fixed object with a cable if you like. I would buy it again if I ever need a 2nd one. A true “strongbox” of days gone by.

  13. Brad G –

    I recently purchased your Tactical Top Drawer Quick Safe. My shooting club, Bullets and Bagels highly recommended your company.
    My first contact was with Michele. After describing my recent firearm purchase, she sent me two options. Michele helped me make the correct
    decision and the Tactical Top Drawer Quick Safe arrived two or three days later.
    Michele said to call her upon opening up the new safe. She helped me with the proper way to open and close and set a new code. Her patience
    and goodwill was a real bonus. I am grateful for the time and concern that was shown to me as this was my first firearm safe and I was clueless. Thank you V-line, for I had the good fortune to connect with an employee that went way above and beyond in helping me appreciate your product even more. Only Good things,

  14. Gino A. –

    My first lockbox. I wanted a reliable product that doesn’t require any electronics, is heavy duty and made in the USA. I’m military active duty, and after asking my peers and carefully researching the right product, I decided to make this purchase. This item does not disappoint. Thank you.

  15. Tanner –

    We are using the lockbox for two concealed sized safety instruments and it fits them perfectly. The box is strong and will keep kids out, which is perfect for us.

  16. Miguel –

    Was in the market for a handgun safe that checked all these boxes: superb construction, sleek look, mechanical lock, quick access, and made in the USA. I landed on this safe based on the above and don’t regret it one bit. V-Line has become my go-to for security and are definitely worthy of five stars.

  17. Paul D. –

    Trying to be a responsible gun owner, I found myself in need of a place to safely store a newly gifted handgun. I did a lot of research and came to the conclusion that a high quality safe for one full-size handgun with easy access would serve me well and the V-Line Tactical Top Draw Handgun safe with simplex lock certainly fit the bill. This unit is solid and is easy to hide away in my closet, probably bolted to the floor. In addition, I also purchased the Quick Release bracket so I can take the safe with me on the road or to the range. I thought the price was very reasonable as well. Now, the only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is probably more on me than on the product: For some reason, once I changed the default entry code, it would take on average 5 attempts to open the case. Then, trying to set a new combination, I had no luck. That ‘L’ tab would not budge. Tonight, however, I went through all the instructions again and I easily reset the combination and it opens without fail on every attempt! My new handgun fits nicely and everything is in its place. Tomorrow, I bolt the sucker to the floor. I like this product! One last thing: I was very impressed with the packaging the safe came in. Thick, sturdy, cardboard without a lot of crap stuffing. The contents arrived in perfect condition (and I plan to use the box again…it’s that good).

  18. John S –

    This handgun safe is awesome, it feels very high quality and has extremely quick access with the simplex lock. The only thing I wish it had is a small handle or lip to grab onto when opening and closing – that would make it easier to operate while it’s in a drawer, as you have to grab the bottom of the lid to open it. Other than that, this thing is as solid as I could have hoped for!

  19. Paul –

    Awesome replacement for my old gun vault… I cannot believe I relied on a janky electronic box for so long! I now have peace of mind without any worries of battery failure or finicky electronic buttons. This well made box easily fits my government 1911 with extra mags and flashlight. American construction and good value!

  20. Eric –

    Very well made product! Solid construction. Simple to use. Perfect size for what i need it for. No batteries or biometrics that can fail on you when the time is needed! Made in the USA even better! Thank you V-Line for the right product at a reasonable price.

  21. Scott –

    The ordering experience was fast and easy. Then I received an e-mail from Michele with a link that it was shipped. The safe is super well built and it’s easy to change the combo. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time.

  22. Joe J. –

    This is my 3rd V-Line safe! No battery to die, no recharging, no wifi or bluetooth. Nice mechanical lock that you can operate in the dark or without your glasses on! Just what you want at 3 AM. Vey nice construction. Don’t forget your combination that you set, there is no secret code to get into these safes.

  23. John –

    Great safe! I use this safe to store my valuables and I can rest my mind easy with how well built and reliable the locking mechanism is. Being able to press multiple buttons at once allows for an unlimited amount of combinations greatly reducing the chances of someone brute forcing their way in

  24. Jeff Lackey –

    Loved my VLine top drawer safe, which I bought as a dorm safe for my middle son, that I bought the same safe for my youngest son when he went to college. I bought a separate bicycle/gun lock (10 foot) and looped it through the holes in the safe, attaching it securely to his bedframe. I love the Symplex lock, and the fact that no batteries are required! I would highly recommend the safe to anybody.

  25. Rob C –

    Heavy duty and no worries about batteries dying

  26. jmendel –

    Solid construction. Well made. Easy to use. Perfect size. No batteries or biometrics! Made in the USA! Exactly what I was looking for. Would not hesitate to buy another one.

  27. Al –

    Very strong, solid, and easy to use! Great value! I can’t wait to get the XL with handle!

  28. Edward –

    Great case with simplex lock that doesn’t rely on electronics or fancy biometrics. Very straightforward to use, and feels secure/hefty. Get this if you are looking for a no frills gun case that will do the job reliably.

  29. Tom –

    As advertised. Quality construction, easy to set your own combo. Made in America. I am really happy with the purchase. I just wish there was a easy way to use a cable system with this to lock it while on the go. (Car, hotel room etc)

  30. Michael –

    Nice product. Solid built. Easy programming of code and holds my full size. Only complaint is that the locking mechanism will hit the item in the safe if not arranged properly. Other then that zero issues.

  31. Johnathan –

    Kaba lock is the best in the industry for reliability and ease of use. Great product for quick and reliable access to safe.

  32. Ken –

    Everything just works well together. Strong but not overkill on construction and the simplex lock is great. I like not having to worry about batteries ot bad electronics or lost keys.

  33. Jye Jude –

    Works well, good instructions.

  34. Kathy B –

    Wanted a compact, high quality, mechanical safe to enable quick and protected access to the pistol in my nightstand. This product fit the bill perfectly! I will be looking to purchase future V-Line products.

  35. Ed Tomczyk –

    This is the best lockbox ever. No key to lose, heavy duty, and can be bolted to a fixed object.

  36. Charles K –

    I really like this pistol safe. I have had others and when you drop them on a sweet spot they open up. This one has a secure simple easy to use lock. I bought this to install in my office and am extremely happy .

  37. george rebelo –

    Love the top drawer safe. It fits nice in my night stand and fits my glock 19 and three mags no problem. Would buy again.

  38. Tom –

    Construction is solid. Actually bigger than I thought for the interior can easily put all daily carry items in with ease and keep them safe from the kids. Simple, reliable and easy to use.

  39. K-man –

    Perfect fit inside my desk. Easy to install. I’m working on my muscle memory to have the firearm in hand soon (quick-soon!). So far it is going good. I socket-drove all four 1″ long lags in solid wood”, 1/4″ dia. lag bolts. Drill first.
    I pray I never need to draw it for use from this locker, but will practice often.

  40. Humphrey –

    Perfect safe to keep your gun safe and out of reach of children. Easy to program, reliable, and no batteries to replace! Couldn’t be happier with the purchase. High quality materials. Made in the USA! Just buy it, you won’t regret it.

  41. Claudia –

    I am a full timer in my rv and needed a small yet big enough safe for valuables. I purchased the Top Draw and absolutely love it! It’s the perfect size, the combination was a piece of cake to change out (after watching the YouTube video), and it’s made in the USA! It’s very solid, not too heavy, and easy to secure with the quick release bracket.

  42. Shel –

    Great safe, with a few quibbles…
    Overall, it’s an excellent safe. I do wish V Line had included a small, automatic light. I was able to find and purchase one. It uses a combination light sensor/motion sensor, so it won’t come on in bright daylight, but I do wish V Line had simply included it, considering the cost of this safe.
    Only other quibble, I wish it had a hydraulic lift. The safe lid is heavy and opens 180 degrees, and if you’re not careful, it will slam open directly on the lock. It’s a very solid, well build safe without electronics to fail, but somewhat heavy to open.

    I’ll still give this safe five stars… all the minor flaws, I was aware of prior to my purchase.
    Great overall safe!

  43. Raymond –

    V-Line First time purchasing a Tactical Top Draw-Quick Access Handgun Safe love it, it’s awesome perfect just what i needed i recommend amazing product.

  44. Jaime –

    We have a 3.5 year old at home that is very smart so needed something to keep the Glock locked up from him. I did a lot of research into different lock types, especially electronic vs simplex lock. Would suggest you do the same (many cheap electronic locks are easily broken into and some even susceptible to opening just by being bumped). I didn’t care so much for something 100% pry proof or anything, just to keep the kid out, and this is it. Very nice finish with the vline logo. It does not scream “cheap”. Overall very happy. I bought it from Amazon and tried to post a review but it’s stuck in approval limbo, maybe because I used the work “gun” or “Glock”.

  45. Jim Martin –

    I have a 15+ year old Tactical Top Draw-Quick Access Handgun Safe with Simplex Lock that I hadn’t used in 10 years . I fastened it under my car seat to secure my pistol when I couldn’t carry it. After 5 years I traded cars and the new car didn’t have enough space under the seat for the safe. I put It away for over 10 years and forgot about it. We just move and I found it again but I couldn’t remember the combination. I called V-line and Bruce who were very helpful and now it’s as good as new l. This safe is as good as you can get and so is the service. Thanks Bruce for your help and fast service.

  46. Shane O’Dwyer –

    Very happy with this product. Solidly built and easy to use. Would recommend.

  47. Erick –

    V line pistol safe is a great quick access safe. Perfect size for G 26 and mag

  48. Ron R. –

    Purchased for office use. We keep keys locked inside this unit. Easy to use and tough.

  49. Jamin Carr –

    Very easy to use. Perfect for my 9mm. Love that it’s mechanical, which i know is more secure. Top quality to.

  50. R Robison –

    Very simple and easy to use. Can be opened quietly and very quickly. Superb quality and made in the USA. Thank you for making a quality product at an affordable price.

  51. J Victor Sun –

    I’ve purchased two V-line simplex lock safes for my pistols. I’ve got children in my home and it’s important to have something easy to access during an emergency but hard to get to by children. This does it all. The combination can be accessed even in the dark without malfunction and it’s hard to figure out the combination. Very good safe.

  52. Andrew N –

    Overall this is great handgun safe and the mechanical lock is very easy to operate. I didn’t rate this a five because I feel it should have a hydraulic closer to help open the case. I purchased this as a quick access safe and it will be in my nightstand drawer and having to open manually makes if very awkward to use. Also you need to have it fastened down if you are going to use one hand to open it. One thing to keep in mind the when putting the gun in the case – I have a Glock 19 and if you don’t put it in correctly the lock will be pressed against the gun. This is small case so I’m ok with this restriction.

  53. J Roberts –

    I purchased the Tactical Top Drawer Quick Access Handgun Safe to secure my home protection gun and EDC near my nightstand. Once the safe arrived, my first impression was that it was great quality and nice finish. The Simplex lock was easy to operate and to reset. I wanted this safe because of the Simplex lock and wanting to avoid issues with battery operated electronic locks. I am very pleased with this purchase.

  54. Renee valadez –

    Opted for a mechanical safe and this one is perfect. Great size and weight, very easy to use. Perfect for my full size 9mm.

  55. Jody Chalich –

    I purchased this product for my RV. It was easy to install and easy to program. Quality heavy duty construction at a great price!

  56. Jon –

    Great product. Needed a quality case to fit in my nightstand to hold a full size 9mm. I love the ease of opening with push botton lock and the sturdiness of the material, it’s much heavier than it looks. Gun fits nicely and snug inside. I will be buying more products from this company and will recommend to everyone.

  57. Baron Mansfield –

    Awesome safe. Very easy to use.

  58. Lee Mansfield –

    This safe is awesome. Very easy to use. And functions flawlessly.

  59. Lucky User –

    This is my most-trusted single handgun case. I sleep with this one at night because it can be opened quietly without turning the lights on. It is also possible to use a strong tether to prevent the box from being removed from the approved area.
