Good safe for price
Pros: solid construction, convenient keypad
Cons: no interior light, limited shelf space
Model Number: Sentry®Safe EM1055EP Executive Firearms Safe
"Had this safe for about a year. Very happy with it. Solidly built. Convenient keypad. Works well. Heavy, and no chance of anyone stealing it or cracking it open. Everything as advertised. Would have been nice with an interior light which was never advertised but I realized that lighted interior is a very convenient feature. Ended up buying several battery operated lights. My only other complaint is that shelves are a bit small and inadequate. Again, this is advertised as gun safe so does not come with a lot of shelf space. Ended up building my own shelves for it."

Great Value
Pros: solid, good finsish, has backup key (in addition to combination, very good value
Cons: none
Model Number: Sentry®Safe EM1055EP Executive Firearms Safe
"The safe arrived within a couple of days...much faster than anticipated. The driver was very helpful during the inspection for damage (no damage). The safe is solid, and looks great. Installation (used 1/2 inch bolts drilled into existing concrete floor) was easy. The interior has ample room for multiple rifles, ammo and supplies. Adjustable shelves are a good feature."

Sentry Firearms Safe
Model Number: EM1055EP
"I just purchased the Sentry firearms safe from Costco.com, and so far I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Getting it up the stairs into my bedroom was a challenge due to its weight. Now I can sleep in peace knowing that my guns and ammo are secured. The safe looks beautiful, very sturdy, love the shelves, carpet interior, and electronic lock. Very nice safe for the price. Thanks Costco!!"

kinda cheap shelving....
"I had purchased this product for a few rifles, a couple pistols &some ammo. It fits everything like a charm and even looks great in its final location. The only thing that seems cheap is the interior shelving, it just kinda lays together. and there are a few minor locations the paint has chipped off. less than the size of a pencil eraser. probably from shipping. by the way...i ordered this product on 6/5 around 10pm and it was on my door step on 6/8...WOW. 5 star costco shipping! then again it was coming from LA and im in the SF bay area."

Great deal on a small gun safe
Pros: price, quality, delivered, small size, rugged
Cons: nothin'
Model Number: Item # 568124
"Was delivered within 10 days. Arrived in great shape. Unit is bolted to a pallet, very easy to unpack if you have any sense. Doesn't hold all my guns, but I just wanted to protect my Grandpa's Sharps Buffalo gun and some other guns dating to the late 1800's that have been in the family since then. Was a bit of an effort for my son and I to move upstairs, but we managed. Quality is good for the price. If you want a showpiece, buy someting more expensive, but if you just want a good quality safe to protect up to 10 guns, this unit is hard to beat."

Very Bad Quality
Model Number: Sentry®Safe EM1055EP Executive Firearms Safe
"I ordered through Costco.com in earlier March and was not delivered until yestoday finally. And then problems come one by another.
First, there is no notice on the exterior packaging box how to unpack, so I removed bottom pallet first (it was really not too hard), however there was one piece of word left on the bottom with bolts and could not stand even which I did not know what is going on until we opened exterior packaging box and called technical support. When I was talking to company on the phone, I saw paint peel off, corner cracking, inside shelf fall off, dirty... so many problems you could not believe that was a brand-new product. "Good" thing I was talking with their technical support, so she asked me to take pictures and send in. I am requesting a replacment but really afraid what is going to happen with next?"

"the ad states 6 weeks for delievry, I was notified the safe was in, in one week. Del company called for an appt for delievry. Very happy with the safe. If you have more than 4 long guns you will need a bigger safe, its not the biggest but for me it is perfect."

No words to describe this safe other than "JUNK".
Pros: none
Cons: junk
Model Number: EM1055EP
"The old saying!! If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is. Received the safe pretty quickly but when I opened the box I noticed paint chipping on the inter top and bottom corners of door jam. Opened the door and the metal was literally ripped apart on the interior. No choice but to return it back to Costco."

Great Safe
"This safe is perfect for our needs and keeps our kids safe. We wanted to be able to store 2 handguns, my husband's shotgun, ammo, and some personal documents. We have plenty of extra room if we purchase more guns in the future. Our main goal was to keep our kids away from everything. The fire protection is an added bonus."

Great safe for the price point
Pros: price
Cons: led keypad not backlit
Model Number: EM1055EP
"I don't know about the last two 1 star reviews. The dimensions are listed and as it turns out the fire rating on the safe is 30 mins at 1200 F not 20 as Costco lists on the website. Hopefully the sticker on the safe is more accurate should a fire occur.
Safe arrived in 9 days. It was neatly packaged and arrived with no scratches or dings. The safe was easy to reprogram with 2 options for accomplishing this after using the factory code on the manual to gain access. The "LED Keypad" is not backlit as the name suggests. The LED's are little lights to tell you if you entered a code right wrong or for programing your new code. The keypad itself is cheap plastic but feels solid when in place, enough to withstand button pushing at least. There are skeleton keys that come with it to open the safe should your code fail or you run out of batteries. This access is behind the battery compartment under the keypad and is not visible so unless you know how to find it, you probably would not even notice. The door on the safe has 3 bolts that activate to open and close the safe and on the hinge side 3 stationary bolts which give the door a 6 point lock when closed. The inside of the safe is pressed wood with thin carpet. It comes with 3 little shelves and a divider. I only have a shotgun and a pistol at the moment so all I needed was a smaller safe. If you have a need to store guns and ammo, I would say 4-5 long guns max and you could store a couple hundred rounds for each easy. If you just want to store long guns you could probably jam 10 in but it will be tight. The only drawback for me is that I have a 1 story home and have a foundation that does not allow for drilling so at only 225lbs this safe could be easily hauled out by would be thieves in a few minutes. If you can, bolt it down. This safe is good for the price point. Spending a couple hundred more will get you a much better quality safe but not much bigger or better fire rated. If you want an inexpensive solution like I did that won't take up much room I would recommend this safe. It keeps the guns locked up with easy access and it's fire rated for 30 mins. Just understand the quality equals the price so don't complain that it's poorly made, because duh it's a 400 dollar safe!"

Not worth it, poor quality, pick something else
Pros: it's a firesafe
Cons: quality is horrible., fire rating is poor.
"Don't waste your time and money,
I have owned this and a smaller firesafe with the electronic lock.
After a few months, both locks failed to open on a regular basis. New Durcell and Energizer batteries used.
Calls to Sentry did not result in a meaningful resolution. No way to repair, they would not send out a repair person.
Costco was excellent about the return, no complaints there."

Great safe for the money
Pros: it fits into our walk-in closet
Cons: if you pack it with 10 guns it's full
Model Number: EM1055EP
"I don't have a ton of guns and really needed to save space (and money). I was wondering if it would be big enough for us but it fits all of my long-guns with plenty of storage room for our other important stuff on the adjustable shelves.
We were able to move it in easily and then bolt it into a corner of a large closet with no problems.
Another great Costco value..."
