Jamie Turner –
The main reason I bought this safe is because company employees had somehow been stealing money from our old depository safe.I did not know how at first because the safe seemed perfectly undamaged. It became obvious once I looked on the internet on how to steal from a depository safe. Look up mailbox fishing.Basically put duct tape to a string and pull the items out. Our old Barska safe had such a big gap I was able to pull things out in less than a minute. Took me awhile to get the string and get the tape but once I had it going it took seconds.Now forward to the Viking box. Biggest reason why I bought it was because it’s supposed to have the best anti-fishing design on the market. I was skeptical at first but the results were great!As soon as I got it, I did the same test I did for the Barska depository safe. Although I was able to get the tape and string into the safe, every time I tried to pull something out it would be yanked back in! No more fishing!The safe seems pretty robust. It’s not a vault by any stretch but it gets the job done. It has some good extra features like a spring opening door.Ability to have a master code was also important so I can let employees open safe but they can never lock us out if they try.Some other nice extra touches that I’ve found – LCD screen, motorized opening and ambient lighting. The latter is much appreciated for it does help in making sure nothing gets left behind.I’ll highly recommend buying the Viking VS-40DS depository safe. The extra money you pay is well worth it and will be easily paid off by not having any money stolen.

This is not a bank vault. If that is what you need I suggest you look elsewhere.However, if you are looking for a high-build medium duty depository safe this is the best deal for your money then this safe is for you.My first depository safe was a Barska but since it stopped working I decided to try the new Viking depository safe. Since I already own a Viking 52BLX in-wall safe and It is of good quality I decided to take a risk on buying their new depository safe. I Gambled and Won with this Viking safe! It cost a little more than the Barska safe, but the quality is SO MUCH better.Check out some of the differences.1. Viking’s weight is about twice what the Barska’s safe weight is. If you bang the top or sides of the Barska you can sense how much thinner, it is.2. The Viking Safe has a light to make sure you leave no deposit bags behind. The Baraka has no light.3. However, the MOST IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE IS the Viking has a long protective chute that prevent fishing out deposits. The Barska has a BIG gap that allows wires etc. to be used to pull out money. (Pictures to follow) As you can read in Barska reviews multiple people claimed money “mystically” disappearing.4. The Viking doors are laser cut so you cannot pry it open. The Barska has a small gap that may allow it to be pried open.5. The Viking keys are high security Keys that are B-rated. They are long double sided keys, looks like 2 keys in one. The Barska has cheap barrel keys that can be opened with a paper clip.6. The Viking has 25 mm looking bolts and a MUCH stronger hinges. This can prevent a hammer attack. The Baraka just has two small hinges.7. Viking comes with an LCD screen – Barska does not.8. Viking has a spring opening door. Barska requires turning of a wobbly handle to open.9. Viking has motorized opening and closing. Barska requires the cumbersome wobbly handle which is the part that ended up breaking.Oh! one last thing, they also have a larger model for those that need more space.

I actually bought this VS-40DS depository model out of curiosity and because I like how it looked on the outside. Very clean and easy design. Pleasant color combination. Once I’ve got the safe, I was pleasantly surprised how well made it is as well. Walls and the door are really heavy. Bolts are moving fast to lock and unlock. The keypad is actually made of aluminum, NOT plastic. Buttons are easy to press. Blue lit screen is convenient to see. At first I did not pay attention to the improvements on the anti-fishing design this model has, but then I compared it to my main depository safe and the difference is significant. Viking model makes the content untouchable after depositing. I still had to bolt it down of course with the mounting hardware provided and the pre-drilled holes made it an easy job.The override key – OMG, this is an old fashion, tough boy. It has 2 bits, pointing in opposite directions. It is like 2 keys working together. It has nothing to do with the any safe keys I’ve seen. I don’t need to use it much, but it gives me a piece of mind that the safe cannot be open with a paper clip as other safes.Shortly, this safe became our default depository safe for the company. I don’t even use the other one anymore. I’m planning to get a second Viking Depository safe.

The Viking Security Depository Safe VS-40DS was an excellent choice. We are using this drop safe in our Church to secure the counted funds until it can be taken to the bank for deposit.Positive Notes:1. Well made! The outside casing as well as the drop door appear to very well made.2. Allows for two codes. The master code as well as the employee code can be changed to any three to eight digit number that you would like. The instructions to change the codes was very easy to follow.3. Backup Key – I went with this safe since it has backup keys just in case the digital lock were to ever die. Some other safes rely totally on the digital mechanism. I love technology, but you have to always prepare for a failure.4. Anti Fish Design Drop Door- Once the item is put into the drop door and the door is shut, there is no way for it be pulled back up.5. Can be Mounted – Pre-drilled holes are already in the safe on the back and in the bottom. It also comes with the bolts for securing the safe.6. Lights – As soon as you enter your code to open the safe, the electronic door will open, and the lights will come on. Yes, its good to see what’s inside!7. LCD Screen – Its a great feature to see what’s happening!8. Motorized Opening and Closing – There is no handle to turn. As soon as you enter the correct code, the locking bolts retracts and the door pops open. Beautiful!Since I have a pretty big lockable bank bag, I do have to fold it one time for it fit in the door and be able to go down the chute. I had no problems with the disposable bank bags going down the chute or regular size envelopes.Very pleased with the product. I would definitely consider this if you are looking for a drop safe. I am glad I went with Viking than the Barska!

Received the safe and it was everything I expected. Operates easily and securely. Shortly after installing the safe I lost the keys. Contacted Viking Security Safe and they were very helpful in getting another set of keys. I was happy with the security steps required. I’m convinced they will not send keys to anyone other than the original purchaser and possessor of the safe. Very secure.
Kevin Lopez –
This safe exactly meets our needs. It was easily mounted and set up. It’s very simple to set codes, open and close, with plenty of room for the envelopes to drop in. I haven’t had to worry about the safe filling up since we purchased this one.
Jessica Martin –
Works well for what I need. Good looking and sufficient storage.
Allison D. –

Jessica I. –
The safe is built well, simple to operate and It arrived just like it was supposed to… However I lost the keys almost immediately.There were some excellent security steps in order to get a spare set. Their customer service and help through the whole process was outstanding! I will buy from this company again.

Well mysteriously I now make more money. Before I trusted my employees with a regular safe. Easily holds 21 deposits. Prevents employee theft. I should have had it sooner.

Exactly what I was hoping to get for my new business. This should be tamper proof and save me from having to stay to collect funds.
Sean Sanchez –
Just what we needed
Jack A. –
We have this as an extra safe for smaller cash amounts and to house our lost and found. It’s easy for someone to drop an item in the top (credit cards, sunglasses, ID’s, etc.). The pin pad is easy to set up and works seamlessly. Excellent purchase.
