Moving a large gun safe can be a daunting task due to its hefty weight—often over 500 pounds for models like the robust large gun safes designed for ultimate security. But with proper planning, you can relocate it without damage or injury. Here’s a step-by-step guide to make it seamless.
First, gather your team. Enlist at least two strong helpers or hire professional movers experienced with heavy items. Clear the path: remove doors, furniture, or obstacles from the route. Measure doorways and hallways to ensure your large gun safe fits—most require disassembly of handles or wheels if available.
Next, secure the safe. Empty it completely to lighten the load, then bolt the door shut with straps. Use a furniture dolly with straps for stability; tilt the safe onto it carefully, never lifting from the top to avoid tipping. For stairs, opt for a stair-climbing dolly or winch system to prevent slips.
Protect floors with blankets or pads. If transporting far, wrap the safe in moving blankets and secure in a truck with ratchet straps. Upon arrival, reverse the process: position precisely and anchor it to the wall for safety.
Investing in a high-quality large gun safe, like the SentrySafe Large Gun Safe, ensures peace of mind. It’s fireproof, waterproof, and easy to install. Safe moving keeps your valuables protected—always prioritize caution!
