Where should I put my safe? This is a common question and one that can get controversy within a household. There are many options: the garage, the basement, an office, a bedroom, a closet or right in the living room. There are two major questions to help you make your final decision.

The first question: Will it fit? Size does matter. Measure and measure again- not just the final placement destination but the entire path the safe must travel to get there.

The second question: How secure is it here? Is the safe visible to visitors or solicitors coming to the door? Is the safe visible to delivery persons or strangers driving by as it would if it were placed inside a garage?

Rest assured our team can get your safe into a secure, private location that is best for your family. Our team can assist you while onsite with measuring and evaluation to help you make an educated decision.

Our team always ensures our customers are happy. Customer satisfaction is one of the artifacts that holds our business together. Recently, our team was challenged with a significantly-sized safe that had to be maneuvered through compact hallways. Our team knew they could get it there- with some additional effort and they were OK with that! Our team will always rise to the occasion.

Our team loves a challenge. When a customer called to request this gun safe to be moved to a second floor location- we accepted the challenge. With our specialized equipment and highly individualized training, we were able to effortlessly relocate this safe to the room upstairs as requested. The pictures speak for themselves!

Last month we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Richard Branch of Branch Auctions. Mr. Branch hired our team to relocate gun safes from an estate to an auction house. While waiting for the safe to be auctioned, we were able to preview the sale which included well over 500 lots. If you are a gun enthusiast, FFL or collector, I highly recommend you attend the next Branch auction. Check out his website for upcoming auctions, terms and lot details.

Hope may anchor the soul, but it will not anchor your safe.  Some may argue the sheer weight of a safe will defy theft or storm loss, but trust us when we say it’s not enough.  There are three main reasons to anchor your safe to the ground;  safety, theft prevention and storm protection.

Safety first.  Always.  It’s hard to believe that a toddler could topple a safe.  But, did you know 1/3 of the weight of a safe is in the door?  When the door is open, even the smallest tug could bring the safe falling forward.   Placing anchors in the floor of your safe prevents this from happening.

What about theft prevention?  Again, most people think the size and weight of a safe is enough protection against theft.  We’ve seen safes (and homes) destroyed by criminals in attempts to get the safe outside.   They are determined and they will find a way.   Yes, criminals could theoretically cut the bolts, IF they were prepared and IF they had enough time.  The anchors will deter and slow them down.

Do you need to protect your safe against storms?  Tornado alley = YES!  If tornadoes can toss semi-trucks like Tonka trucks, they can toss your safe-and the valuables inside- across your neighborhood.  Get those safes properly anchored into the concrete.

If you’re purchasing a new safe, be sure to request a bolt down.  If you currently own a safe that’s not anchored, we strongly recommend you do so- either DIY or call us to help!
