A gun safe protects firearms and ammunition from theft, unauthorized access, and environmental damage. The safe’s features—including reinforced steel construction, advanced locking mechanisms, fireproofing, and water resistance—ensure the highest level of security. Similarly, the gun safe’s secure delivery is crucial for maintaining safety.

Proper preparation and professional installation services overcome the challenges of moving a heavy, bulky safe. Learn what to expect when your gun safe is delivered and how to ensure a smooth process.

Preparing for Delivery

What To Expect When Your Gun Safe Is Delivered

Preparing your home for a gun safe delivery will make the delivery and installation process faster and safer.

Take the following steps for seamless delivery and installation of your gun safe:

  • Clear obstacles: Remove any furniture, decorations, or other obstacles along the route between the entry point and the installation area.
  • Secure pets: If you have pets, keep them in a secure area away from the delivery path.
  • Make parking accessible: Make arrangements for parking and access for the delivery truck. If applicable, reserve a parking spot close to your home and ensure the route from the truck to your door is unobstructed.
  • Prepare the installation area: Preparing the installation site may involve removing existing items, cleaning the area, and ensuring there’s sufficient lighting to help the delivery team.

Delivery Day

On the day of delivery, the team will arrive at your location within the agreed-upon time frame. You’ll receive the gun safe and accessories, such as keys, bolts, and manuals.

We offer professional delivery and installation services for in-house or garage placement. Our experienced installers will properly position the gun safe and anchor it securely in place. Letting the team manage the heavy lifting saves you time and hassle and ensures a proper setup.

Unloading and Positioning

Improper handling of a gun safe during delivery can lead to significant property damage, such as scratches on floors and walls or damage to door frames and furniture. With professional services, you can expect the delivery team to carefully bring the gun safe into the garage or house, taking care not to damage anything.

Movers use specialized equipment such as dollies and hydraulic lifts to safely unload and maneuver the gun safe through your house. They will take extra care to protect your flooring and walls, using protective coverings and padding as needed.

Anchoring and Installation

What To Expect When Your Gun Safe Is Delivered

The installation team will also anchor the safe to the floor or wall. This process involves securely fastening the safe to a sturdy surface, typically a concrete floor or a wall, to prevent unauthorized movement or theft. The optimal location provides necessary structural support and accessibility for authorized users.

The installation team can take the following steps to evaluate the site’s structural support:

  • Ensuring the floor is made of reinforced concrete or another solid material capable of bearing the weight of the safe
  • Verifying that the installation area is free of any cracks or weaknesses that could compromise the stability of the safe
  • Confirming that the chosen wall or floor can handle the anchoring hardware without risk of damage or failure

The movers will drill precise holes in the safe’s base or back, aligning them with pre-drilled anchor points in the floor or wall, and use heavy-duty bolts to anchor the safe firmly. Securing the gun safe is crucial, as it provides an additional layer of security that makes it significantly harder for thieves to remove or tamper with the safe.

Final Checks

Before the delivery team leaves, they will ensure the gun safe is securely in place. They will also provide you with any necessary instructions on using your new safe.

Take this time to inspect the safe thoroughly and ask any questions you might have. Clarifying any doubts at this stage ensures you are fully informed about the operation and maintenance of your safe.

The Quality of Used Gun Safes

At Boswell Safe and Vault, our certified safe technicians disassemble every used gun safe we offer so that we can perform a thorough inspection. We replace the locks to ensure top security and lubricate the bolts that extend from the safe’s door into the frame. This meticulous process ensures the safe is in good working condition at the time of delivery. When you buy a used gun safe from us, you acquire a safe that exceeds the quality of a new one within the same budget.

Clean-Up

Finally, the delivery team will clean up the area, removing any packaging materials that protected the safe during transit, such as cardboard, plastic wraps, and foam padding. This step ensures a clutter-free space and eliminates potential safety hazards created by loose debris.

With the delivery and installation complete, you can now enjoy the security and peace of mind that comes with owning a high-quality gun safe. Store your firearms inside the safe to protect them from unauthorized access, theft, and damage.

Investing in a gun safe enhances the security of your firearms and your personal safety. Confirming delivery details and preparing your home in advance helps facilitate a seamless installation. As part of the professional installation service, the moving team will use specialized equipment to carefully unload, position, and install your gun safe in your home or garage. This process provides you with a secure gun safe that will safeguard your firearms.
