Built for Fast Access, Designed for Serious Security
Looking for a secure way to store firearms or valuables without sacrificing space or speed? The Steelhead Undercover 48E is your go-to solution. This under-bed biometric safe combines rugged American-made construction with lightning-fast access. Whether you’re protecting your home, your apartment, or your vehicle, the 48E brings professional-grade protection right where you need it.
Crafted in the USA from solid 12-gauge American steel, this safe doesn’t mess around. It features a biometric Securam Scanlogic lock, allowing you to unlock it almost instantly with a fingerprint or a combination, so you don't have to scramble for keys in an emergency. Inside, a gear-driven 7-point locking system, dual hardplates, and anti-pry drawer construction work together to stop brute-force attacks in their tracks.
Thanks to its low-profile design, it fits discreetly under most beds, in closets, or even in vehicles. Need flexible installation? With anchor holes on top and bottom and dual cable slots, you can mount it just about anywhere or even secure it in place with Steelhead’s optional 3-foot or 6-foot high-security cables.
Q: Will this safe fit under my bed?
A: The Undercover 48E is just 6" tall and designed to fit under most standard beds. Be sure to measure your clearance to confirm!
Q: Can I bolt it down or secure it with a cable?
A: Yes! It comes with four anchor holes on both the top and bottom, as well as cable slots on both sides for flexible or double cable mounting.
Q: How many fingerprints can the biometric lock store?
A: The Securam Scanlogic biometric lock can store up to 10 fingerprints, allowing you to grant access to trusted family members or household members.
Q: Can this be used in a vehicle?
A: Absolutely. Its low profile and multiple mounting options make it a great solution for SUVs, RVs, and other vehicles. Just confirm measurements before purchase.
Q: Is this a good alternative to a large gun safe?
A: Definitely. If you’re in a smaller space or need decentralized storage, the Undercover 48E provides serious security without the bulk.
