Unfortunately, any safe that has a key override automatically disqualifies for any type of insurance rating and the reason why they put the key in the first place is that they know the electronics will die. More often than not you’ll find every safe at Costco having a key override behind the lock that will allow access in the event the electronics die. So while the safe may look big and robust from the outside, it can be popped or cut open in under 5 minutes with basic tools like a hand saw or a crowbar.Īnother major disadvantage to a Costco safe is the lock. With a safe from Costco, you get the thinnest steel possible in all areas of the safe, no relocker, no hardplate, little to no boltwork and an untested fire rating.

What you don’t see is all of the actual meat and potatoes, you get disillusioned by the gravy! On a real safe, you have things like a hardplate, a relocker, thicker steel in the door and body, longer bolts, high quality fire material and strong locking mechanisms operating the boltwork.

On the front of the safe, you see the lock, the handle, the paint job and a placard that tells you the security rating (if there is one), the fire rating (if there is one) and the storage capacity.

HOWEVER, you don’t see them from the front of the safe, you only see them behind the back panel. There are some main components to gun safes that are what we call “behind the curtain” that are vitally essential to the long-term use and security of the safe. Cannon used to be one of the highest quality producers of Gun Safes in the country, but once they started selling to companies like Walmart and Costco, everything went down hill. The best example of this is Cannon Safe Company. In reality, they are completely fucking over the customer and I feel horrible for the people who got taken for a ride believing they were getting the same quality product.

I say “supposed to” because Costco will take companies that typically have had great quality products and force them to strip out all of the things that made it great to reach a price point they deem favorable for the customer. Where Costco fails miserably is when they show you huge savings on an item that is supposed to be high quality. For items that are commodities such as baby wipes, toilet paper and chicken, Costco is truly the best bang for your buck and I would highly recommend it. Costco is a great place to shop, you can get your necessities in huge quantities at rock bottom pricing.
