How Do I Prepare My Gun Safe for Moving?

Before the move, ensure your gun safe is empty and securely locked. Remove any shelving or interior components that could shift during transport. Measure doorways, hallways, and staircases to ensure the safe can be moved through these spaces. Clear the path of any obstacles to facilitate a smooth move.

Do I Need to Be Present During the Move?

While it’s not mandatory for you to be present during the entire move, it is helpful for you to be available at the start and end of the process. This allows you to provide any necessary information to the movers and to confirm the safe's placement at the new location.

At Gun Safe Moving, we prioritize safety and security. We use advanced moving equipment, including heavy-duty dollies, straps, and protective padding, to ensure your safe is handled with care. Our professional movers are trained to navigate stairs, tight spaces, and other obstacles without causing damage to your property.

Can You Move a Safe That Is Bolted Down?

How Do You Handle Stairs and Tight Spaces?

Are There Any Items That Should Not Be Moved Inside the Safe?
