They will deliver and install anywhere you want it in the house. I had them deliver and install on 2nd level out at Granite...I think they charged something like $300 for delivery.
Also keep in mind, no sales tax on safes so you can bump it up a bit without hurting the wallet :tup:

I just helped a friend get his upstairs. We used an appliance dolly. took 4 of us, but only 10 minutes. :hello:
By some beer and have a BBQ, it'll get moved for ya. :twocents: Plenty of us in LS
Also, Costco is a good route, but their inventory is always changing.

I laid mine down and slide it on the carpet to the stairs, then slide it on cardboard downstairs with a strp on it to lower it, then slide it into place......when i sell the house it goes with it :chuckle:I did something similar, but used a come-along to get it up and down the stairs.

I originally purchased the Fatboy and as soon as I got home and had all the information, they told me that they couldn't install it where I wanted to so I drove back down there to pick out a different safe that would make it up my stairs. Not a big deal but quite the drive for us north-enders....

Yep, put a 4x4 across a door frame and used some ropes to tie to a heavy piece of furniture to take some stress of the frame.What did you hook the comealong to? cross beam in a door frame?I laid mine down and slide it on the carpet to the stairs, then slide it on cardboard downstairs with a strp on it to lower it, then slide it into place......when i sell the house it goes with it :chuckle:I did something similar, but used a come-along to get it up and down the stairs.

If you want a quality safe that offers actual security, get a Sturdy Safe.

So, now that I have the space and a little cash I'm looking to buy a stand up big boy gun safe. I've been told to buy big and will pretty much go as big as I can afford/fit in the room via access points. I'm not to hung up on brand but will stick with known manufactures. The question is....where? Costco? Cabelas? Home Depot? I need delivery and transportation into the gun room. This is on the basement level so I've got plenty of support underneath it.
depends on what you want for quality and brand.. there are some very nice high end safes out there as well as junk.. have seen the videos of the tip over flat and pry bar the doors open, quite an eye opener regardless of most levels of quality. so my recommendation, regardless of the model is to lag it to the floor or wall to help prevent theft..

Last December I bought a Cabelas Signature series. when I'm throwing down that kind of money I like to be hands on and look at what I'm getting. Their Signature safes are made by Liberty which has EXCELENT customer service (I had no problems with the safe itself just the lights it came with). I bought REALLY big and had a 3rd party that Cabelas recommended install it. It cost a bit to install the new one, but I moved my old safe to a buddies house which according to my hernia meter was about 600lbs. the new one was almost twice that so there was no way I was gunna mess with moving that SOB (plus they bolted it down, ALWAYS bolt it down). I do recommend buying the WIRED light kit and a dehumidifier rod. the safe comes with battery lights which are pretty much worthless and eat batteries like tic tacs, and the dehumidifiers to protect your investments obviously. Any questions PM me. Happy Hunting!

I can't emphasize this enough, do your research before you purchase a gun safe! DO NOT go strictly off of price and brand name because nearly all of them have their less expensive line/s but it'll still have the same company name. If you just want something to put your stuff in and lock the door, well, just about all of them will accomplish that. BUT, if you want a safe that truly protects against fire or break ins/theft, you're going to have to step up and pay for that security.

safe was rated for 1600 degrees at 45 minutes.
A fellow member showed me his guns after his house burnt down, over a dozen pieces of steel is whats left. all the wood is toast. His family is safe & healthy, which is what matters.

I went with a nice wood cabinet and good insurance. A determined thief will steal your stuff and fire will over take a safe but my insurance will cover all of it. I keep a thumb drive with pictures and serial numbers at my place and in another location.
I would recommend a safe man. These days most thieves are the smash a grab type, a wood cabinet isn't much of a deterrent...in fact its none at all. Same with people you just buy the metal gun cabinets that can be broken with tin snips.
Yes if someone REALLY wants your stuff they will find a way, anything made can be unmade. That doesn't mean make it easy for them, you still lock your cars and house up at night don't you?
And yes the insurance may cover your lost items, but what about the people that your guns will be used against?
not trying to bash you man but don't be so dismissive about keeping guns secured, the anti's love stuff like that.
