Gun Safe Moving in Chattanooga, TN
Gun safes are some of the heaviest things in any house, and they usually sit in the hardest spots to reach: basements, garages and back closets. Apex Moving Co. moves safes around Chattanooga, protects the floors on the way out, and sets them where you want them.
A Safe's Weight Sits on a Small Footprint
All of a safe's weight presses down on a small area, which is hard on stairs, thresholds and floors. Tip it the wrong way and it can crack a step or gouge hardwood. The spot where it was set years ago probably wasn't chosen with getting it back out in mind.
We protect the floors along the way, wrap and pad the safe, and set it where you want it.
What's Included in a Gun Safe Move
Planned Path Out
We plan the move from your photos of the safe, the room and any stairs.
Padding and Wrap
The finish, handle and dial or keypad are padded and wrapped before the safe moves.
Floor and Stair Protection
Hardwood, tile and carpeted steps along the path are protected before the safe moves.
Basements and Garages
We bring safes up from basements, out of garages and around tight corners.
Placement You Choose
The safe goes in the closet, corner or room you pick.
Alone or With the House
Move the safe by itself or as part of your household move.

Uprights and grands are wrapped and padded, with the floors protected along the way.
Moving across Chattanooga? The safe can ride with the rest of the house.

Moving Safes in Chattanooga Homes
Plenty of Chattanooga homes are built into hillsides, which puts a basement on one side and steep steps on the other. Split-level and walkout basement houses in East Brainerd, Hixson and Ooltewah are common places to keep a safe. On Signal Mountain and Lookout Mountain, the driveway grade matters as much as the stairs.
Older homes in Red Bank, Highland Park and on Missionary Ridge may have narrow basement stairs with a turn at the bottom. Downtown and North Shore condos often limit move times and require the freight elevator, so we ask about the building's rules before the move.
Gun Safe Moving FAQ
Should I empty the safe before you move it?
Ask us how to get the safe ready when you call. An empty safe is lighter and easier to control.
Can you take a safe down basement stairs?
Yes, in most homes. Send photos of the stairway, the turn at the bottom and the landing so we can plan.
Will the safe damage my floors?
We protect the floors and steps along the path, and we plan the move from your photos.
Can you move a safe out of a business?
Yes. Shops and offices with safes work the same way. Send photos of the safe and the route out.
How do you figure out what my safe weighs?
The brand and model are the quickest way. If you don't know them, photos with a tape measure in the frame help.
