I have a Vline box and a generic simplex box (which is better than my Vline).

Last night, I had an intruder scare at my house. While half asleep, I was able to slip out of bed and open my generic simplex box in a total time of less than 5 seconds I'd say. This is a simplex box I don't use often. It just sits under my bed out of sight, out of mind. I love how boringly reliable a simplex box is.

By the way, it wasn't an intruder. It was a family member who decided to use a door that had never been used before at 2 am. The person was also trying to get upstairs as quickly as possible for whatever reason. I was well-prepared before the person got upstairs. So, it was a good simulation. No shots were fired.
