It all started when my dad, Mike, saw a couple major flaws in the security solutions that were being offered at the time. The first major flaw was that there weren’t any safes that offered immediate access. When you’re locking something up that you need daily access to-like medication, for example- spinning a dial or typing in a code can be very inconvenient and time consuming. We found that this inconvenience really discouraged people from locking up dangerous medications-and even firearms. We’re left with people leaving highly addictive prescription medications out in the open-where anyone can access them-and we are left with people leaving loaded firearms in accessible nightstand drawers-where children and teenagers can get to them. We saw this as a huge problem and knew that the only solution would be to design a safe that offers immediate access. The second major flaw that needed to be addressed was that the safes that were on the market were not hidden or discreet. This made them easy targets for thieves. The two key elements we decided to focus on were Immediate Access and Hidden-in-Plain-Sight, and that’s when we designed QuickSafes.
