Steelwater Gun Safes​

I just thought I’d throw this out here for anyone’s perusal that’s looking for a gun safe. I don’t know anything about these safes. I bumped into them when searching for something else and eyeballed the 50% off sale and free shipping and thought it best to give a heads-up.

The website . . . I don't know.

It doesn't look like the manufacturer, maybo some retailer trying a new marketing method.

Do your research before you send the money.

Best deal for safes right now is the Winchester with touchpad at Costco for under $500.

Can you buy at Costco if you are not a member?

 

[Squished]

no, but im sure there are plenty of members on this board willing to assist.

Is this in the store only? Nothing like this comes up online at Costco.com.

Problem with these kind of purchases (in store) is that you need a serious truck to load it and get it home. Not for those of us with sedans only.

The cheapest safe I see at Costco.com is $649.

Is the $500 deal an in-store special?

 

[Squished]

In store

Compare specifications on brands carefully - the Steelwater safes are 12 gauge which is on the low end of consumer gun safes. 10 gauge is standard, and some of the nicer ones are 3/16" or even 1/4" steel.

+1 Also it tripped my anti-virus software. I want to look at what I'm buying up close first, unless it's a dealer I've done business with.

The shipping policy is legit in regards to how it is delivered.

Hopefully R&L gets most of the business since I hate delivering safes.

Good to know, thanks.

I never find the safes in costco. I usually just see the stupid little office cube safes. Do all costcos have them?!

Rob,

I get confused by gauge vs dimensions. Do you know how 10 and 12 gauge steel corresponds to fractional inches? OR what guage do 3/16" and 1/4" correspond to?

Thanks.

I know you asked Rob but here you go.

10 gauge (.1345) is a little more than 1/8 inch (.125) and 12 gauge is a little less (.1046)

There's also this which seems like a slightly better safe:

I'm going to have to check out the Cannons...I really like the outlet built inside rather than just a passthrough for a cord.

Thanks a lot. Very helpful.

1/4" is about 10 pounds per square foot. 12 gauge is about 4 and 10 gauge about 5. Just for another method of reference.

I got a 3/4 ton pick up. I'll make a deal with you. I'll drive you lift
