Gun Safe Moving Ideas

[Mofo]

Another option is lift the door off the hinges. It cuts the weight down quite a bit. A buddy did this and made moving a large Browning safe alot easier.

(3or 4) 1" dia. wooden dowel rods.... spreads the weight better than golf balls (plus i don't golf)

Yup.

This...
Also a big piece of cardboard will do great on carpets

That's what we did...Same box cardboard it came in.

These little dollies work great. Got mine at Harbor Freight on sale for 7.50.

I used a dolly to get it through the garage and in the hallway I used the little furniture dolly from Harbor Freight.

Worked great, thanks for all the ideas!

I moved my 24 gun browning myself, once I got it in the door. If the floor is smooth you can use carpet. I covered the entire bottom with those felt furniture feet covers. I can slide it wherever I need now.

I looked at that one and the fire rating is terrible. The floor was like 16 or 18 guage. You could dump that over and be in the bottom with a pair of tin snips. But I guess its better than nothing.

I might be wrong but I just don't see a 500lb safe getting pushed on a piece of carpet. I moved my mom's piano that probably easily weighed 400+ and even on a dolly, it split the linoleum. I'd lay down the plywood and try the golf balls. It's going to be a PITA either way.

Not a problem at all. 700# safe slides with ease if you have tile or wood floors. Put a buffing pads,blanket or upside down rug under it and slide, slide, slide your way to success.

Seen those straps on TV commercials that work on anything and they are guranteed. But wait!
