Anybody have a Zannotti?
I like the idea of being able to take it apart and move it if needed. Down side is they are not fire rated (I think) |

Looks like this thread has lost interest, but here's my pics. I've only been collecting now for about 4 months, so I've still go along way to go, but here is what I have now.

Mateomasfeo, Is that some sort of a covering on the whole inside of your door? Then you have some sort of velcro holsters or something you can stick anywhere you like?
I have been thinking of moving some pistols to the door of mine but I had only found "pegs" that I could position and screw on from behind. I'll have to tidy mine up soon and get some pics and post them I guess. |

I've got a Sentry 14 gun that is absolutely crammed tight.
Will see if I can post a pic tomorrow. 3 AR15s, 1 AR10, a 300WinMag, Rem 870, Marlin 871 22lr., an ALS 50BMG upper assembly, and an SKS pretty much crams it tight for where rifles are stored. The top shelf has my 6 N-frames, 1911, and a Ruger MK2 on it and it too is full. I'm gonna get a 2nd one soon and join the two together bolting them together in several spots, that should make it very difficult to haul the thing out regardless of if I bolt the thing down or not. I'd rather have 2 smaller safes than one large one, easier for me to move 2 safes in a move then bolt them together once at a new place(can sneek them in easier too) than try to move one massive bastard in. |

Ugly, that is exactly my plan as well. I bought a 28 gun Cannon which is quickly running out of space, and now I am looking at getting another one. Put them side by side and bolt them together. No way anyone could get them out of the house......

I've got the same thing. Didn't want to risk a 1200 lb safe on a third floor apartment. You might want to get one of the four-gun handgun racks from Basspro. Fits nicely on one of the shelves and allows you to put four handguns on the shelf safely. |

Duplex..renting
Check what kind of framing you have if you intend to locate your safe on a framed floor. A total load of 500 lbs over a 2'x3' area is 83 pounds per suare foot. The code required load for residential is 40 pounds per square foot in most areas. If going to move safe down framed stairs, check the capacity of the stairs. Home builders build homes (unless they are a custom home) to the bare essentials. Things like gun safes are not figured into the equation. |

i like the 2 safe idea as well, but do you think drilling holes in the side and bolting them together will f up the fire rating and the warrenty? |

Check with local FFL's to see where they got their safes.
I found a local farmer that sells gun safes as a side business. He keeps an inventory and was much lower than the local chain sporting goods store and the local safe company for the same brand. He also delivered and wheeled to the basement. Delivery was extra with the other places or no delivery and delivery meant to your driveway only. I also found a local FFL that sells safes. When he gets orders totaling 5 safes or more, he places the order. The safe company drop ships them to each person that ordered. All you have to do then is get it inside. |

Costco promotes those safes as "Executive Safes", so thats why there are no guns in there. |

The problem with costco selling them as "Executive Safes" instead of gun safes is you don't have to pay sales tax on a gun safe, you would on one labeled "Executive Safe"

I have a Liberty Centurion. I'm in the same situation you're in, so I couldn't get a big safe like I wanted. The smaller Centurion weighs 400lbs empty, and is 24" x 60.5" x 20" and "holds" 17 guns. It actually dosen't hold 17 guns, its just has 17 notches (unless you coung 17 bangsticks as guns...) but its still pretty roomy. I got it for around $650+delivery, which was like $200 to move it into the apartment.

These are all BBA* of course
Zannotti Armor ZA-2. Which I had bought the 3 now, but you live and learn. This is a 6 piece you put together. Took me and my brother just to get the door on, but wonderful when you don't live on the ground floor! The safe isn't bolted to the floor, but since you can't get it through any of my doorways when assembled I'm not worried!    *Before Boating Accident |

I made my own storage locker from a foot locker.
Improvements include car frame cross bar with trailer lock, hammerite paint job and angle iron bolted to the floor.   Sorry, no pics of the inside, but we put in 2 shelves and a rifle rack with carpeting. It's not exactly a safe, but it plays one on the Internet. -White Horse |

How much space do I need above the safe for the delivery guys to locate it properly?
I'm looking to put a safe in the space beneath my stairs (I'm building a closet underneath the steps at the same time, closet faces the same direction as the steps, the safe will face to the side of the steps, so height and width are limited, but I've got a lot of room for depth). Every inch I need above the safe reduces the width of the safe I can install by about 1-2".  Kharn |

They usually move them with something like a refrigerator mover, so they can just "slide it" into place. So, measure out the space and compare it to the safe exterior dimentions on the various safe manufacturer's websites. Then, when you get your safe, have it delivered by the professionals that do it for a living. It ain't cheap, but these guys move these big-assed safes day in and day out. Messing up your back (or worse) trying to save $250 to move the 1000lb safe isn't worth it. |

Something that has bothered me regarding safe location - what happens if a pipe busts while you are away? I live in the north, and frequently travel. Occasionally you'll hear horror stories of somebody who knows somebody who came home to find their basement full of water due to something poping while they were away. Anyone have any thoughts on this? The reason I ask, is because I am wondering if it would be better to move the safe back upstairs.

Yes, I have a thought. If you live where it gets that cold, turn off your water and open the valve the furthest back from the water main. |
