IMPORTANT NOTE: The delivery staff will not take your safe or vault door any further than curbside if this is the service you order. Freight companies will not deliver to your driveway on a Dead End road or Cul de Sac. They will only deliver to County, City or State roads. They will not deliver to a congested downtown area with no parking or a Doorman Condo or Apartment. Garage/Threshold Delivery or Inside Delivery are available for an extra charge if you need special delivery services. Please call 800-207-2259 for other delivery options if any of these cases apply to you.

Garage delivery is not guaranteed. It is not always available in all areas and is ultimately at the discretion of the driver to complete. If the driver feels it is unsafe, the freight company will not be able to complete the garage delivery and will leave the safe at your curbside. We would refund you in full for the garage delivery if it is not able to be completed. If you want to order garage delivery and are concerned that you might not meet the requirements, please call us at 800-207-2259 so that we can determine the best option for you.
Safes Over 2000 lbs.
Our trucks with liftgates will only handle safes up to 2000 pounds. Safes over 2000 pounds will require a forklift or loading dock on site to receive the safe. If you do not have either of these items, we can recommend a company in your local area who can deliver your safe inside.
Inside Delivery - (151 - 550 lbs) - No Stairs - Ground Floor Only
Inside Delivery Service: When the product is received at the Inside Delivery company, a call will be made to arrange for a mutually agreed upon day and four (4) hour window for delivery to your home or business.

Our Inside Delivery Team Will:
- Schedule home or business delivery appointments at your convenience.

Inside Delivery is not guaranteed. It is not always available in all areas and is ultimately at the discretion of the delivery company to complete. If the delivery agent feels it is unsafe, the inside delivery company will not be able to complete the inside delivery and will leave the safe at your curbside. We would refund you in full for the inside delivery if it is not able to be completed. If you want to order inside delivery and are concerned that you might not meet the requirements, please call us at 800-207-2259 so that we can determine the best option for you.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LOCK COMBINATIONS: Inside Delivery agents may check your lock to insure that it will work before leaving your home and your lock combination will come in an unsealed envelope from the manufacturer (this is standard). If this is not acceptable to you, we recommend you arrange for your own local delivery and installation service.
