Where's the Safe Thread?

No not safe in that sense, safe as in gun safe info. The one referenced with a video discussing various safes. We're in the market for something better than our existing one that's too small.

I think this was the video referenced - pretty informative:

Go to google and put in 24L 36R 56L...it should unlock the thread for you.

It is clearly in a very safe location.

Buy one 10 times the size of what you think you need.

Exactly! I wanted the next size up but the wife said no. Now I am going to have to spend $1500-$2000 for another one. I bought my safe back in the late 90's, its a Liberty that weighs 750lbs. OP- please listen to us when we say " buy the biggest one that you can afford". You won't regret it.

Exactly, I delivered another 1100lb 24 gun safe yesterday for a gentleman. The sad part is that was his 3rd gun safe in his home. The best part about this is......I had to move that huge gun safe up a big set of stairs that was 10 feet off the ground. Dont let anyone tell u a safe is ever too big, lol.

OK, I've got a question. Since the safe weighs ~800lbs and we have ceramic tile floors on concrete (TX thing since no basement) how do we/they (safe delivery peeps) not crack the tile floor when rolling it in?

Thanks...now I know how to get it out. Now, can you show me where the hidden front door key is?

Just lay down a few thin pieces of plywood across the tile. It helps distribute the weight across a broader area. But make sure u have a nice planned route and dont leave the safe sitting on the tile area. Start moving and keep moving until ur off the tile area.
