Quick Answer: Lowe’s gun-safe aisle mixes genuine national brands — Cannon, Sports Afield, SentrySafe, Vaultek, Stack-On, and Tracker Safe — with two lines Lowe’s features heavily, Wasatch and Fortress, that look like house brands but are sold at other retailers too (Wasatch is also available direct from U.S. Safe Company and through Farm & Fleet). A third name, LOVMOR, is different again: it’s a Lowe’s Marketplace listing, meaning a third-party seller drop-ships it and it doesn’t qualify for Lowe’s own offers or coupons. Knowing which tier a given safe belongs to matters more at Lowe’s than at most retailers in this series, since the three tiers carry different warranty and return realities.
“Lowes gun safe” pulls an estimated 1,300 monthly searches — behind Home Depot and Menards, ahead of Walmart and Sam’s Club in the retailer-vein comparisons covered in this series.
Three tiers, not two
Every retailer in this series has turned out to mix national brands with something else — a true house brand at Harbor Freight (Union Safe Company) and Rural King (Gettysburg), a marketplace tail at Home Depot (SKYSHALO), an in-store-only line at Menards (Ridgeline). Lowe’s is the first to combine all three patterns at once.
The national-brand tier is straightforward: Cannon’s fire-resistant safes, Sports Afield’s Preserve series (fire-and-waterproof, electronic keypad, sizes from 24-gun up to a 60-gun SA7240P model), SentrySafe’s Quick Access family already covered in our SentrySafe roundup, plus Vaultek, Stack-On, and Tracker Safe — all brands sold across multiple retailers already in this series, confirming they’re genuinely national rather than exclusive to Lowe’s.
Wasatch and Fortress sit in the middle. Both get prominent placement in Lowe’s gun-safe category pages and both carry fire-and-water-resistance specs presented like a proprietary Lowe’s line — Wasatch rated to 1,400°F for 30 minutes and waterproof to 2 feet for 72 hours, Fortress rated to 1,200°F for 30 minutes. But neither is exclusive: Wasatch is designed by ProStead Gear (which contracts out manufacturing rather than operating its own plant) and the identical model lineup — 18EGW, 24EGW, 40EGW — turns up at U.S. Safe Company’s own site and at Farm & Fleet. We found no equivalent evidence Fortress is Lowe’s-only either, though its footprint outside Lowe’s is thinner than Wasatch’s.
LOVMOR is the true outlier. Its listings run through Lowe’s Marketplace program, and Lowe’s own product pages disclose that Marketplace items are third-party and not eligible for Lowe’s offers — the same dropship structure behind Home Depot’s SKYSHALO tail, right down to a compact catalog (4-gun and 8-gun rifle safes with digital locks and a scoped-rifle rack) that reads like a private-label import rather than a brand with independent market presence.
| Brand | Type | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Wasatch 24EGW (24-gun, electronic) | Lowe's-featured, also sold via U.S. Safe Company & Farm & Fleet | ~$900-$1,000 |
| Fortress 24CBF (24-gun, combination lock) | Lowe's-featured contract brand | ~$350-$450 |
| LOVMOR 8-Gun Rifle Safe | Lowe's Marketplace, third-party dropship | ~$150-$250 |
| Sports Afield Preserve 60-Gun | Lowe's-sold, established national brand | ~$1,900-$2,000 |
| Cannon 24-Gun Fire-Resistant | Lowe's-sold, established national brand | ~$400-$700 |
Wasatch 24EGW Fireproof and Waterproof Gun Safe
- Priced around $900-$1,000 direct from U.S. Safe Company, which also sells the identical model — worth comparing both listings rather than assuming Lowe's price is the only one available.
- Designed by ProStead Gear, which contracts out manufacturing rather than running its own factory — a step short of the fully independent brand identity that Cannon or Sports Afield have built.
- The 1,400°F fire rating beats Fortress's 1,200°F rating in the same Lowe's lineup, so the two "house-feeling" lines aren't interchangeable on protection level alone.

LOVMOR 8-Gun Capacity Rifle Safe
- Sold through Lowe's Marketplace program — Lowe's own listing discloses Marketplace items aren't eligible for Lowe's offers, so store coupons and promotions that apply to Wasatch or Fortress won't apply here.
- No independent manufacturer site or review footprint outside Lowe's own listing pages, the same pattern we flagged with SKYSHALO at Home Depot — worth confirming warranty terms with the third-party seller before buying, not with Lowe's customer service.
- Return terms on Marketplace items can differ from Lowe's standard 90-day policy since the seller, not Lowe's, sets them — check the specific listing.
Should you buy from Lowe’s, or elsewhere?
Buy from Lowe’s if you want a Cannon, Sports Afield, or SentrySafe safe with in-store pickup, or if Wasatch’s higher fire rating fits your budget and you’re not worried about comparison-shopping U.S. Safe Company’s direct price. Think twice before buying a LOVMOR listing on brand reputation alone — it’s a Marketplace dropship item, not a Lowe’s-stocked product, so warranty and return support runs through the third-party seller.

The bottom line
Lowe’s gun-safe aisle is real Cannon, Sports Afield, SentrySafe, and Tracker Safe next to Wasatch and Fortress — two lines that look proprietary but aren’t exclusive to Lowe’s — and LOVMOR, a genuine Marketplace-only dropship brand. The detail most shoppers miss is that “featured prominently on Lowe’s site” doesn’t mean “sold only at Lowe’s” or even “sold directly by Lowe’s” — three different arrangements with three different warranty realities, all in the same category page. If you’d rather comparison-shop with a clear single price up front, the full lineup is searchable on Amazon.
