FAQs

The cost of moving a safe or vault varies depending on the specific circumstances of each move. An assessment is necessary to determine the required manpower, time, and equipment. This evaluation helps us provide an accurate cost estimate for your specific situation.

Our moving services cover a wide range of safes, including gun safes, home safes, jewelry safes, burglary safes, and fire safes. We have the expertise to handle various types of safes to meet your relocation needs.

To prepare for your safe move, please follow these steps: empty the safe completely, clear a wide path from the door to the safe, measure doorways and the safe to ensure it fits, prepare the new location, measure the new spot, inform us of any staircases or landings, and consider a backup location on the first floor. These preparations will help ensure a smooth and efficient moving process.

A safe is classified as a fire safe when it passes a test that measures its ability to maintain an internal temperature below 350° during a fire. Various insulation materials are used to achieve this temperature control. The fire rating indicates how long the safe can maintain this internal temperature, not how long it takes for the safe to be destroyed.

In most cases, mechanical locks can be replaced with electronic locks. Electronic locks provide quick access to your firearms if needed. To determine if your safe is compatible with an electronic lock installation, please contact our team for a professional assessment.

Securing a safe to the ground is a straightforward process. We offer the appropriate bolts for anchoring to wood or concrete surfaces. For safety reasons and to maintain warranty validity, we strongly recommend securing your safe to the floor. Our team specializes in safe installations and can provide expert guidance on this matter.

A 'scratch and dent' special refers to safes with cosmetic imperfections that are offered at a reduced price. These minor damages do not affect the safe's functionality or security features. We also offer pre-owned safes for sale. Contact us for current availability and pricing information on these discounted options.

A fire rating indicates how long a safe can maintain an internal temperature below a specified level during a fire. For example, a UL Class 350 1 Hour rated safe keeps its interior below 350°F for 60 minutes. Burglar ratings combine manufacturer standards and Underwriters Laboratory criteria to guide content value storage. For specific recommendations, consult your insurance provider or Underwriters Laboratory.

The ideal safe size depends on your storage requirements. Larger gun safes offer more space but are heavier and harder to conceal. Smaller safes are easier to hide. Consider both security needs and space requirements when choosing. It's advisable to select a slightly larger safe than you think you need, as storage needs often increase over time.

Yes, customers can pick up gun safes directly from our showroom. We provide assistance with loading the safe into your vehicle. Please contact us to inquire about our current inventory and availability for pickup.
