Good find PeteF

 

the second one is located in Hillside and is $120 for the day http://www.arearentalsinc.com/hand-truck-stair-climbing-rental-new-jersey-81.html

I moved my 600lb safe with 1 1/2" PVC pipe by myself on flat ground. changes in elevation is what is hard. I got 4 BIG guys from work and an appliance hand truck with wheels that pop out the back to allow you to cant the weight back without supporting it. Took maybe 15 minutes to move it into the house down 9 steps. I did block the stairs with 2x4s to insure that they wouldn't fail.

I work for beer!

Wow those stringers are really wide. Look like 2ft between them. I would be really careful. Definitely put some supports under them.

I reinforced the steps but we ended up using my arched motorcycle ramp and went right past them.

 

Anyway, thanks to everyone that offered. We got her in today in about a half hour.

 

Here she is.. Pix are eh but... Still got to fiddle with the arrangement inside...

Nice. Congrats. I've had my protector for 4 years now and have been happy with it. Does yours have the thinner door the new one have that can have the door hanger or are those holster just velcro'd on? They looked like Velcro. I know the Velcro ones that came with mine are week and I'd don't trust them to hold any of my handguns over a concrete floor.

 

Did the mag holder come with it or did you get it elsewhere?

Door is pretty thick. Whole unit is 755 lbs empty with 2 hr fire rating. There is a panel wrapped in some kind of material on inside or door. Velcro looks either sewn or superglued because it's on there good. There are wide velcro bands under the holsters and pouches. Seem strong. Heaviest handgun I have in there is my 92s and it seems fine. Mag holders came with it. Forgot how many, but holds quite a few. I still have more room and have about 6-8 mags in there now... Has zipper bags and a big pouch lower on door. They can all be moved around except for mag bands.

 

Only thing I'm not fond of is the blue leds. They kind of bother my eyes. I black taped the front one along the top. I might find out if they have white or I may just mod it.

The other thing is the metal shelf strips are a tad off and cause some shelves to look crooked. Easy fix, but I'll bug them about it, lol. Put a coat of polish on it and good to go. One heavy biotch.

 

But we all agreed to a formula. 24 will get you 12 modern weapons. Only 10 slots on each side. Not sure how they call it 24.... Overall I'm pleased.

Yours have an alarm and stuff? This came with $825+ upgrades...

My door is thicker. The full door stuff you have won't work on my door. Just the cheap, crappy Velcro holsters, barely hold a Ka Bar.

 

I have the blue lights too, as well as the 2 hour fire rating, extra door hinge & extra bolts.

 

I once asked them about the blue lights as opposed to white, they said they use blue instead of white as it isn't as bright and more "stealthy" in a possible situation.

 

Sorry to hear you have issues with your shelf, my holders fit fine. Call them up, they're pretty good.

 

I had an issue with the battery box for the lock and they sent out a new box right away. Turned out the new batteries that came with it weren't so new and died pretty quickly. New batteries fixed the problem, but they were quick to send new parts for free.

Don't be surprised if you run out of room pretty quickly. I only had 2 handguns and 1 AR when I bought mine, but ran out of room pretty quick.

Stealth would have been all red... Hehe.

It's just my eyes though. Those light units I think can be had easily enough.

 

Yes, they are great people... I'm sure everything will be okedokee... I have some ammo and mags in there now. Might have to stow it sep and use the other side for rifles. Left side is stuffed. Did you count the little insets on yours? Only 10 on each side, hence me wondering where they get 24...

I have 11 insets, 4 on each side and 3 across the back, but of course you can't get near that many in.

 

I actually only have 5 rifles and 1 shotgun in the slots and 2 ARs each in 2 pieces standing in the back and that's all I can fit. If they aren't in there the right way, the door won't close.

So how they fig 24 in either case is beyond me. I gotta find out what is under the walls and floor. Might have to remodel it my way. Have to think it out.

24 10/22's no optics on both sides.

I've moved heavier, alone.  An appliance dolly

 

I rented an appliance dolly for my safe move.  Had to talk myself out of damages when I returned the dolly with the shelf bent to a 45 degree angle....

 

Ended up using an engine lift, furniture dollys (the wheeled skateboard things) and a lot of 2x4 "shims" to move it.

Yea right? I'd think by now that this is an issue with gun safes. There is only one gun safe that has taken this into consideration and I cannot afford it. That's Pendleton Safes...

They are beautiful...

Beautiful safes, awful website.

Yep. Only my Garand and Remington 1894 Lever stand straight up. I might be able to fill all the slots if those were the only rifles I had.

Finally modded the lights to get rid of the blue leds and added a nice stealthy red. Cant convince Patriot the blue is not stealthy. Lol. They say people want blue but whatever...

Going to add white, because regardless what color, it's still dark. Just gotta have white light sometimes.

The Hillside place also offers a 4 hour rate for $80. They also charge a "damage waiver fee" and tax. 4 hours is $97 out the door, while full day rental is $146. I found it extremely hard to maneuver on my narrow stairs with multiple 180 degree turn landings. It looked so damn easy on those youtube videos...

$40 something coulda have got you a 16ft RB 300  5050LED strip lights with 44 color capable remote controlled lighting. I also installed a door switch so they turn on when the door opens. You can change the color as your mood dictates, or just have them auto switch every few seconds

Lmao... Didn't want to pimp it too much. I'm gonna add a 52" vertical light bar. Because no matter the color, my eyes can't see squat with these colors. The blue they had in there bothered my eyes so I ripped them out and installed reds. Switches were already installed. The white bar will have it's own manual switch so I can turn them on only when needed. But now that you mention it, maybe a controller with multicolor instead of white in he same manner might work. He power supply still has 8 watts to spare... Keep them red until I need white or summat. Shrug:)

One thing I want to make sure is I don't void the lifetime warranty...
