You've compared interiors and sizes and wall thicknesses and door thicknesses and fire ratings and weights and prices until your eyes glazed over. Finally, you dug deep, wrote the check and bought a safe. Gun safe dealers are only too happy to talk about the safety and security of a big, expensive, half-ton gun safe. They don't talk about how to move it, or what to do with it once you've bought it. Planning Set aside an entire Saturday to move your safe into your home.
Good planning is essential.
Try to get just a few burly friends to help out. Safes are heavy, but small - only a few people can get their hands on it at a time. Determine where you want the safe. I think against an exterior wall in a concrete-floored basement is best. If the basement floor isn't carpeted, put down a vapor barrier between the safe and the floor to protect the safe bottom from moisture.
