FAQ'S

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 & measurements of stairs, flooring & 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 prohibited. Its best to contact us for a consultation to discuss your options in detail.

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

Safes can last forever with routine servicing.

Fire ratings vary 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 who are usually to the fires 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 do have a safe that has been in a fire, you will want to schedule to have it opened as soon as possible. Condensation & moisture from disposing 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.
