If it is free, and you can move it, the take it. Cannon makes a good safe.

Is the dowel rod to beat the people who will be moving the safe for you?
By the way, a safe is easier to move if you take the door off the hinges and move it as two pieces. |

If you want to firesafe it all you'd need to do is to add 3/4" gypsum drywall "shaft liner" that is used in commercial construction of elevator shafts. Use an intumescent adhesive caulk to seal the seams and your good to go!

Garbage, just let me know where to pick up this crap and I'll make the drive from Oregon to pick it up and dispose of it properly.

That is the true killer- moving a safe anywhere.
I had to pay movers $300 just to move my safe to a new place 10 miles from my old. I agree with separating the door from the safe. The door is usually made of a much thicker gauge metal, and has all the locking components. It's a bear lining it back up and dropping the hinge pins back in though, as the door is so damned heavy. I used a car jack and boards slid underneath as I jacked it up to it's re-installation height. I'd take it if I was you. |

Or you could go to Walmart and buy one for 400.00 that is a glorified gym locker.

All the fireproofing is is 2 or 3 layers of 1/2" sheet rock under the carpet. You could install that yourself if you wanted. I have moved a safe several times, my bigger one is the 48" wide. Some handy tools are a piece of carpet to slide the safe across linoleum, a piece of linoleum to slide the safe across carpet, a furniture dolly which can be rented, and pieces of PVC pipe to roll the safe on. The furniture dolly is the least help, and can be quite dangreous. I usually take trailer to pick one up, that way it is already at close to floor level. Canon does make nice safes. I would not advis taking the door off, as it is very easy to mess up the paint when removing or replacing it, and also a damn good way to get fingers mashed.

Short of a torch there's not a way to remove the door off of my Cannon safe that I can see.
When you do move it move it upright or flat on its back with the door up - either way puts less stress on the hinge. |

use dowel rods, PVC pipe or golfballs under the safe when moving it... then you roll it along instead of carrying it.

2" black pipe works the best. I don't think I could trust PVC pipe.
