Yes, safes can be placed upstairs. However, putting a safe upstairs depends on a variety of factors you’ll want to consider. We usually can install 75% of safes upstairs using our professional equipment. Videos, photos, and measurements of stairs, flooring, and the safe are extremely helpful in determining whether your desired safe can go to a second or third floor within your budget. All this can be cost-prohibitive. It’s best to contact us for a consultation to discuss your options in detail.

Even though not all safes require a professional for installation, it’s best to use an expert to avoid unnecessary costs. High-quality commercial drop safes, such as TL15 and TL30 depository safes, can weigh a substantial amount. Safety and correct installation require specialized training to avoid unnecessary damage to flooring and walls. In some cases, leveling is needed to allow proper airflow to avoid moisture buildup, and ensuring proper door swing is necessary to avoid the door unintentionally closing. Let our professionals install your safe the right way the first time!

Fire ratings vary from safe to safe. The most important thing to consider when choosing a fire rating for a safe is where you are located. Houses in cities are closer to fire departments, which usually arrive at the fire’s location within minutes. Houses in rural areas may need a higher fire rating because fire department response time to rural areas is longer than in cities, and in most cases, it is just to contain the fire. Check out our gallery to see what happens to safes after being in a fire.

If you have a safe that has been in a fire, you will want to schedule to have it opened as soon as possible. Condensation and moisture from extinguishing the fire will be pretty bad. The sooner you open it, the less damage will be done to your safe’s valuables. Most people cannot get into a safe after it has been in a flood or a fire without an expert. Call us for your safe opening needs.
