From buying the wrong size safe to choosing the wrong lock, there’s some common missteps customers can make when looking at safes for sale.

With the right precautions and maintenance, you can most certainly install a gun safe in the garage.

The advertised price tag at a bargain store is often too good to be true when it comes to a large gun safe — especially when you consider delivery and installation.

The nature of a gun safe — a big, heavy object — makes them difficult to install. Get a full rundown of how much it costs to deliver a gun safe.

Hands down, one of the most common questions we get is, “Can I install a safe on the second floor of my home?”

The short answer is yes. It’s your choice where your safe is installed. Our delivery team can and has installed safes on the second story of homes and office buildings. Your safe could also be installed on the third story, fifth story or tenth story. 

Moving’s a pain in the butt. Moving a gun safe is just darn ridiculous, especially when it weighs 2,000-ish pounds. Luckily, with the right expertise and tools, your safe can be safely moved and installed.

Many big box stores only offer curbside delivery. In theory, this can seem like a really affordable option. After all, a few buddies, a case of beer, and a heavy-duty project is a great combination — right?

When you’re dealing with a safe that weighs a few hundred pounds, this may be the case. But the brass meets the brawn when it comes to maneuvering and installing a thousand+ pound steel box. Without the right skills and tools, it’s highly likely you’re going to find yourself scratching your head — whether you’re a big strapping man or a wife and mom (like me).
