Re: Move a gun safe?

you can do it by yourself...but paying someone else is probably worth it. here are some tips.

1.) remove the door (it'll lighten up the safe considerably)

2.) get an appliance dolly and a couple of strong friends to move it (a motorized one would be best but hard to come by)

2a.) use sheets of plywood, pipes, and golfballs to roll it out

3.) get a moving truck with a motorized lift gate (you ain't gonna roll it up a ramp)

4.) make a plan beforehand as to how you're gonna move it out of the house, and have backups just in case

5.) a few extra pieces of plywood can protect the walls of your home to prevent costly repairs.

6.) If you're unsure or uneasy about doing it, hire someone else. In town rates shouldn't be that bad. Call appliance and piano places as well as movers.
