If the door is not spring loaded, how easy does it open after unlocking? Using one hand, can you quickly open the lid and take hold of the pistol?

Well obviously you need your one hand to scan your fingerprint to open the box, but after accepting the fingerprint it just pops open a little then I use two hands to grab at the side to lift open. I suppose you could take that one hand and put your finger in the space that popped open and flip the lid up that way. I think the part that is most time consuming to open is to slowly drag your finger across the laser so it can read your finger print. I've dragged my finger across it fast and it didn't register my finger print.

I'm finding mine kinda tough to open, but it depends on the size of the doorway, I think. If you can get it so the handle is locked in to one of the holes I think it'll be tricky. I have mine in a larger entrance and it's fine, but the smaller entrance the lock handle was sticking straight up and was easier to open.

You can open it up relatively easy with one hand and close it with one hand as well. Very easy to do but be carefully when you close it with one hand or you could hurt yourself.

Yes, you put in your private code and the lid will pop open. However it doesn't open all the way. It only opens far enough to slide your fingers in and raise it the rest of the way. Or if it is an emergency situation, you can just thrust your hand into the opening to grab your weapon. The motion will easily open the lid the rest of the way. Hope this helps

There is no lock, strap or release button to press. Molded for a specific make and model pistol and the pistol snaps into place. It is very secure and won't come out if you run, jump, hang upside down or normal day to day activities. I've never had any problems drawing my gun during qualification. I bought one of these for each model pistol I have, two Glocks and a HK. Love them all

Yes, very easy open. At first I struggled with closing the lid because I didn't understand that I have to pull the lever with my thumb for opening AND closing! FYI, I have crippled hands from severe rheumatoid arthritis. But I still can do it.

Hi,yes you do need to unlock it before turning the knob. to open from inside.

Extremely easy. Just push on the latching leverage button. It's a well thought out locking and releasing system. Ever since getting my Charge years ago, I've carried and used it everyday.

I can open it easily with my fingernail. You may need to push the right point to open it.

Squeeze the lid down, then press the button, it should open easier after that.

When you shut the lid and turn the key, a latch comes up to hold top closed. The problem is that anyone with a safety pin can unlatch without key in seconds. I couldn't believe it and tried it myself. It works as fire protection, but I would not depend on it as a safe for valuables or keeping medications from children.

If you hit the top of the safe while turning the handle at the right moment, it opens pretty easily. This safe is more of a toy... Here is a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcYB9ceiAiY

I would say yours has a problem. With ours you just push the release and the door actually "pops" open. You shouldn't need both hands. Send it back.

It should open easily by just pulling it out.. That part does not have a lock so you're right.Try to pull it a bit hard but not too hard.. it tends to get stuck a bit sometimes.. but if it still does not open, contact the seller it might be defective.

It opens and closes fine. Just flick it open with the assist nub and the spring carries it open and locks in place.

There is a metal clamp (that wraps around the lid) that you just lift up to open the canister, then you just lift the lid up. The thing I like about it is that you can open it with just one hand, making this very easy.

Yes, I actually tried my hardest to open it without doing the combo and the lever came down but the door did not open. If someone were to try getting into it, it might break, but if you aren't rough with it should be ok. Good safe for the money but it reflects that in its fixtures.
