Stainless Steel s 45cm Cabinet: your bedside locker
Late afternoon light catches on a flat, matte face and you realize this is less like a nightstand and more like a compact steel block — the Stainless Steel s Password Household Anti-theft Fingerprint 45cm all-steel bedside table, to use the full listing name. Up close you feel the cool, slightly textured steel under your palm and notice a narrow keypad and discreet fingerprint pad set into the front, tiny interruptions on an otherwise monolithic surface. It has a surprising visual weight for its footprint; when you shift it slightly the whole piece resists, reassuringly dense, while the interior’s soft leather lining peeks out and softens the industrial edge. The overall impression is of functional restraint: solid scale, careful seams, and an object that asserts itself quietly in the room.

First glance inside
When you press the pad or slide a fingertip across the sensor and the door swings open, the interior presents itself as a deliberate, compact workspace. The inner surface is lined in a soft, leather-like material that cushions small items; pockets of that lining catch the light differently depending on how you tilt the door. A single shelf and a shallow tray sit near the top, leaving a narrow vertical bay below where folders and a few documents stand upright. The steel surround frames the cavity closely, so the edges and hinges show as thin bands of metal that move with a tight, slightly metallic click when you pull the door toward you.
You tend to fumble a little — smoothing a receipt, angling a file — and those small motions change how the space feels: the tray can collect coins or jewelry without them clinking against the back, while taller envelopes lean against the rear wall. If an access attempt fails, the mechanism reacts immediately; after repeated wrong entries it vibrates and emits an alarm, and you’ll notice the door shudder differently in that moment. Lighting is ambient only, so you shift items or bring them closer to inspect contents; folders stand slightly forward rather than sitting flush, and smaller pieces of paper sometimes need to be rearranged to make everything visible at once.
| Visible element | How it appears when opened |
|---|---|
| Top tray | Shallow, lined, good for coins and small jewelry |
| Vertical bay | Narrow space where documents stand upright and lean |
| Inner lining | Soft, slightly matte leather-like finish that softens edges |
| Door/hinges | Tight movement with a low metallic click; vibrates if alarmed |
How it sits in your room and the details you notice first
When you first bring it into a room it reads as a compact, anchored block rather than a piece that floats. Placed beside a bed or tucked against a wall at the end of a hallway, its edges line up with the floor in a way that makes it feel deliberately planted; you find yourself nudging it once or twice out of habit, then leaving it alone. The finish catches light differently depending on whether you chose black or white — fingerprints and dust become visible in certain angles, and the metal surface feels cool when you rest your palm on top.Up close the front face is visually simple: a recessed opening mechanism,a slim seam where the door meets the frame,and a small keyhole that you trace with your finger without thinking about it.
On first use the motion of the door and the sounds around the lock are what register most quickly. The door moves with a measured resistance at first touch, then settles; the interior lining peeks out as a contrast when you open it and you instinctively glance to see how items sit inside. Small functional details announce themselves in use — the light from the keypad, the brief beep of the sensor, the way the unit reacts if an incorrect sequence is entered (a sudden vibration and an alarm in most cases). Little habits form almost immediately: adjusting its distance from the wall to clear a scuff, wiping a smear from the front, or setting a lamp on one corner and noticing how the metal conducts coolness or warmth depending on the room temperature.
The all steel shell and finishes, and how the fingerprint sensor presents itself to you
You first notice the cabinet’s metal skin before anything else — a continuous plane of painted steel that catches light in broad sweeps. Up close, the finish reads as uniform: the paint or coating softens reflections so the surface rarely flashes, but it still shows smudges where you touch it. When you run a palm across the front you feel the cold, unforgiving surface give way only in its temperature; the panel itself doesn’t flex, and a light tap produces a muted, slightly hollow response rather than a radiant ring.
The fingerprint pad presents itself as a small, deliberate detail against that larger expanse.It sits flush or only a hair’s breadth above the surrounding metal, finished in a glossier material so it contrasts with the rest of the face. In everyday use you find yourself orienting your finger by sight more than by feel: the pad’s sheen and the faint surround mark it out. When you bring your finger close, the sensor typically responds with a short pulse of light and a brief audible cue, then accepts pressure for the scan. Smudging accumulates on and around the pad faster than on the matte steel, so you’ll notice a ring of fingerprints staining the glossy area after repeated openings.
In lower light the sensor’s tiny indicator is useful; it tends to glow briefly when you wake it and can be seen even at odd angles. Because the pad is set into a flat plane rather than into a recessed well, your finger sits almost level with the surface during a read — that feeling of a direct contact point makes the interaction quick, if you place your finger squarely. Repeated use leaves faint marks on both the pad and the surrounding finish, and you may catch yourself wiping that small zone more often than the rest of the cabinet.
| Feature | Observed behavior |
|---|---|
| Overall finish | Matte-coated steel with broad light reflection; shows hand marks as soft smears |
| Fingerprint pad | glossier, flush with surface; lights up briefly and emits a small sound on activation |
| Touch interaction | Direct contact on a flat plane; ring of smudging forms around the pad over time |
Internal layout and drawer spacing, and how the forty five centimeter footprint translates into storage dimensions for your space
When you open the front, the interior presents as a single, softly lined cavity: the leather inner layer cushions items and keeps small pieces from sliding against cold metal. Drawers or shelves are not obvious on first glance; the space reads as one compartment with enough vertical clearance to let stacks of small boxes or pouches sit side by side. As you slide items in, they tend to settle against the back plate and occasionally need a slight nudge to sit flush, especially if the items are tall or irregularly shaped.
The advertised “45 cm” footprint translates into noticeably less usable room once the steel walls, door mechanism and lining are taken into account. The table below gives a rough sense of how exterior measurements commonly map to internal, usable space for this sort of all-steel box; expect small variations depending on the exact seals and locking hardware.
| Measured exterior (nominal) | Approximate internal usable space | Typical useable capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Width ~45–46 cm | Internal width ~40–42 cm | Room for several small jewelry trays or stacked envelopes side-by-side |
| Depth ~34–39 cm | Internal depth ~30–36 cm | Enough for wallets, document folders laid flat, or small electronics |
| Height ~34 cm (overall) | Internal height ~28–32 cm | Permits short stacks; tall binders are unlikely to stand upright |
In practical terms, users often arrange contents horizontally rather than vertically to make the most of the interior: thin envelopes and flat pouches slide in cleanly, while bulkier items sit against the sides and slightly reduce accessible room. The soft lining helps prevent items from shifting during routine movements, but that lining and the locking hardware also shave off a few centimeters from each axis, so the box can feel roomier from the outside than the space you actually get inside.
Daily handling and reachability: how you open drawers and operate the fingerprint lock
When you reach for the top drawer, the first thing that registers is how the lock greets your input. To use the fingerprint sensor you place one finger flat against the pad and hold for a second; after a short beep and a faint motor whir the latch releases and you pull the drawer open. The sensor can be particular about angle and pressure — you may find yourself tilting your finger or trying again if it’s slightly wet or cold — but in most cases a single deliberate press is enough. if the reader doesn’t recognize the print after three successive attempts it activates a shaking motion and an alarm sound, which you notice as a sudden vibration against the cabinet rather than a soft warning tone.
Opening by password or key follows a different rhythm. typing the digits involves a brief pause as the system validates the entry; there’s a visible indicator and a short confirmation sound before the mechanical release. Using the physical key feels more mechanical: you insert, turn, and then the drawer yields with a small give. Across all three methods you tend to reach with one hand while steadying the cabinet or nearby surface with the other, especially when pulling a fully loaded drawer; the handle requires a confident grip and a short, controlled pull rather than a long, gliding motion.
| access method | What you do | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Fingerprint | Place finger on sensor and hold briefly | Beep and motor sound, latch releases; may need a retry if finger is wet or angled |
| Password | Enter digits on keypad | Short validation pause, audible confirmation, then the drawer unlatches |
| Key | Insert and turn the key | Mechanical release with a small giving motion of the lock |
How this unit matches your expectations and where real life reveals limits
The unit frequently enough feels exactly like what the listing implies at first use: the panels close with a solid thud, the door and lock mechanisms move with predictable resistance, and the interior lining sits smooth against items placed inside. Fingerprint enrolment and the alternate opening methods register quickly in most sessions, and the alarm function responds when incorrect inputs accumulate. Daily interaction tends to reinforce that initial impression—hands rest on the top surface,small items are shuffled into place,and the latch is nudged closed without drama.
Where daily life reveals limits is in the small, repeated moments. The fingerprint reader can become picky after handling greasy or damp surfaces and may need a deliberate retry; keypad presses sometimes demand a firmer touch than expected during dim hours; and the shiny surfaces show smudges and light scratches from habitual contact. The storage feels more constrained once frequently accessed items are arranged—contents shift when the door is opened, and heavier objects require a moment of rebalancing.The alarm’s sensitivity is generally useful, though routine fumbles with the keypad can set it off in a way that feels disproportionate to the mistake.
| Aspect | Expectation | Observed in use |
|---|---|---|
| Access responsiveness | Immediate and smooth | usually quick; occasionally needs a retry with damp or dirty fingers |
| Interior usability | Roomy enough for valuables | Space feels tighter once items are organized; contents tend to shift |
| Finish and maintenance | Clean, durable surface | Shows fingerprints and light marks from everyday handling |
| Alarm behavior | Responsive deterrent | Effective, but can be triggered by accidental keypad errors |
What arrives in the box and the steps you take to get it set up
Inside the box
When you open the packing, you’ll find the steel cabinet itself wrapped in protective foam and a thin plastic film. Tucked into a small envelope are two mechanical backup keys and a quick-start leaflet with diagrams. A tiny bag holds mounting screws and wall anchors, and there are a pair of adhesive felt pads for the base. In some boxes a set of batteries is included; in others you’ll need to supply them yourself. The fingerprint sensor and keypad sit flush on the door,and a little protective sticker often covers the sensor — you’ll want to peel that off before registering prints.
| Item | Typical quantity / note |
|---|---|
| Steel cabinet | 1 (wrapped) |
| Mechanical keys | 2 (in envelope) |
| Quick-start guide | 1 (with diagrams) |
| Mounting screws & anchors | Small packet (for wall/floor) |
| Felt pads | 2 (adhesive) |
| Batteries | May be included; otherwise purchase required |
Steps to get it set up
Start by moving the cabinet close to the spot where you expect to use it — it’s heavy enough that you’ll naturally shift and nudge it into place rather than carry it far. Peel off the protective film, remove any foam, and check the envelope with the keys. If there are batteries in the box, insert them in the compartment usually located on the inside of the door or the rear panel; otherwise install fresh batteries before proceeding. Follow the quick-start guide to power the unit on; the keypad or a small LED will indicate it’s active.
Next you’ll register a master password and at least one fingerprint.The manual walks you through pressing a setup button or holding the fingerprint sensor for a few seconds to enter programming mode — when you place your finger, hold it steady and reposition slightly across a few scans so the sensor captures different angles. Test the mechanical key after programming, then try opening with the password and the fingerprint so you get a feel for the door latch and the sound of the lock engaging. If you plan to fix the cabinet to a wall or floor, line up the pre-drilled holes on the back, mark through them, and use the provided anchors to secure it; the felt pads are useful if you leave it freestanding to prevent sliding and to muffle the touch of steel on hard flooring.
There’s often a small pinhole or reset switch referenced in the leaflet for reinitializing settings; keep the keys and manual in a safe place until you’re cozy with the setup. During the first day of use you’ll likely find yourself smoothing the adhesive pads, re-seating the batteries, or re-registering a finger — those adjustments tend to happen naturally as you settle into the cabinet’s feel and operation.
