my co worker used some movers to move a larger AmSec safe out of his town house to another home. It was three small guys and something like 14 steps up to get it out. If your interested I will ask him who moved it and get their contact info. for you if I recall correctly they worked by the hour.

Thanks guys.  Right now I'm trying to explore safe options.

I really need something bigger but am trying to nail down the size and how to move it before I buy.

Hint, get 2 safes.  I did.

One for you and the other for the Wife.

Now the Wife can put what ever he wants into HER safe.

Got HER Stuff out of mine, now I have room for more toys.

Also get the key or combination changed to same key or numbers.

Try calling X-Ring.  they sell safes and are able to deliver/install.  It would be even better if you got it from them, then guarantee they offer the service.

Sorry, I don't know but you can PM Speedtek who posts for X-Ring in the 2aHawaii vendor forums.  Or just call XRing, they are super nice people.

If you buy two safes from them, you should ask for a deal on the indoor range membership,  ;),  that would be awsome.

They claim "Free Delivery" but the price of their safes include the delivery. So you are paying for delivery in the price of the safe. You can find comparable safes at a better price but after you find a mover and add the price of getting it moved you won't save very much money if any at all. I bought my safe from them and I am generally happy with it. The convenience of having them do the delivery was worth whatever money I would have saved buying it elsewhere and getting a mover to do it for me. JMHO

Thanks, I had not considered them as I haven't been in their store in ages.  Any idea on what models/brand they carry?

check on facebook and twitter

i got the lowe's safe and had them deliver it
cost like 75 bucks extra, and they were supposed to deliver it to the curb
they put it in my garage next to the door, so we only had to move it a short way

or offer your friends beer/food

They carry Fortress Safes which is the economy line of Heritage safes. I bought the Fortress Safe myself. They also had a Browning Safe there if my memory serves correctly.

When I bought mine it was Brian and his nephew who delivered and set it up. Brian whined the whole time.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for the info.  If you don't mind answering, how heavy of a safe was yours?

I'm targeting a 1,500 - 1,800 lbs safe and there is some negotiating of a hill to get to the bottom floor of my house.

Mine was right about 500lbs. I measured everything and made sure it fit and could be moved into my house before I bought it.

OK, thanks.

Yeah getting the safe inside isn't really an issue as my lower patio door will open up way larger than necessary.  The rough part is negotiating the hill outside 'cause there ain't no way anyone is carry the safe down my stairs.

When Brian and his nephew came they had a special electric hydraulic hand truck. It made taking the safe up the stairs quite easy. And I am sure it could take one down the stairs just as easily.

That may still work.  I may just have to plywood the slope.............and figure out a way to put that thing on a winch before it ends up in my neighbor's yard.

 I'm in the same boat. My Mesa safe came in and it's 550lbs that needs to go down a grassy hill. We are scheduled to move it tomorrow morning at 5am cause I don't want my neighbors to see it  :D

We were planning on laying plywood down and rolling it with a push cart that's supposed to carry 500 lbs. however if it rains all night we might just drop it in my old bedliner out of my truck and slide it down the hill. We have 3 guys (hopefully) because 2 of us loading it at Home Depot with no forklift was a bit of a stretch  :wtf:
