Any places or recommendations?  There was an earlier posting about this but it was for Big island.

Sports authority has the best selection.  Wait for their coupon, it really helps on the price.

Yup that's when I got mines

I was debating for the longest time about what safe to get. I went to sports authority so much time to look at them and was tempted to buy one every sale they had. The only thing is that the only one that was in the size I needed was a gun locker. Which was better than nothing but not secure enough for me

Finally ended up going with one from lowes. Decent price and decent protection

Security Equipment until Carter brings in more safes (which he isn't).

How are you guys getting them into place?

^^^Bro................3 older out of shape guys humping a several hundred pound safe downstairs for me.  I'm dreading when I find a nice big safe.

you can pay lowes (and i believe home depot) to deliver
they call it "to the curb" because that's all they are contracted to do
the guys that dropped off my safe put it in my garage
i had only me and my friend (two mid 40s 5'7" 160 lb jibonees) and one of those square dollies to move a 12 gun safe into my house

lowes safe is more fire resistant than the one at home depot
plus the home depot one is electronic lock and the lowes one is manual
home depot is in stock more often than lowes

Some safes, you can remove the door very easily.  I suggest you look into that first as doors can weigh at least 50% of thr total lbs.

when I tried moving my safe myself with a hand truck up some stairs, the safe tipped over and smashed me against the stairs. Pushed all the wind out of me and cause me to release a loud wheeze. Thought I broke a rib. Couple hours later took off the door, no thanks to the instructions or help from the web. Carried it in with the help of a friend.

When I buy a bigger safe I'm gonna pay some big mofos to move it to save me the trouble

be sure to pick those big mofos carefully
don't want them or their friends trying to get your safe/guns later
not that there's anything wrong with big mofos
and small mofos may have bad intentions too

exactly the reason i did my own!

Aloha lock and key has safes. The sports authority/sams club/costco safes are crap. Better than nothing though, just make sure you bolt it down. Do a search on youtube for breaking into safe. There is a video of 2 guys breaking into a $1000 safe in 1 minute 46 seconds or so.
Like most things, you get what you pay for with safes.

Yup got mines at sports authority

Where is Aloha Lock and Key? Tried googling but nothing comes up but out  of state  companies. Thanx

401 Cooke Street.  They changed their name to Aloha Key Awards and Gifts.

Depends why you are buying a safe - i.e. fire protection, theft protection, or as in my case to prevent my kids from accessing the firearms.  So, in my case, the cheap Stack On "gun safe" (which is basically a metal locker) meets my intention.

I saw a GREAT video on youtube on gun safes and I thought someone here posted it before, but cannot find it now.



As sikryd stated "you get what you pay for."  If you want a very secure safe for your firearms/valuables then plan to spend at least $10k+

if i was spending 10k, i might actually have to buy some valuables first!

Anyone with comments on the Stack-On Elite Fireproof safes Sports Auth. sells? They have their 24gun on sale this week. Haven't checked availability locally, but looks to be a decent deal.
