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

last time I noticed it was Fortress and Browning at X-Ring. SEC has a guy that they refer folks two for delivery and instillation of their safes.
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:
