Why Gun Safe Moving Requires Professionals
The Reality of Gun Safes
They're HEAVY:
- Small safes: 200-400 lbs
- Medium safes: 400-800 lbs
- Large safes: 800-1,200 lbs
- Extra-large safes: 1,200-1,800+ lbs
They're Expensive:
- Entry-level: $500-$1,500
- Mid-range: $1,500-$3,000
- High-end: $3,000-$10,000+
- Custom safes: $10,000+
They're Awkward:
- Top-heavy design
- No easy grip points
- Difficult to balance
- Dangerous if tipped wrong
DIY Gun Safe Moving = Disaster:
- Crushed toes and fingers
- Herniated discs and back injuries
- Dropped safes (total loss + floor damage)
- Damaged walls, doorframes, and floors
- Stuck in stairways
- Medical bills exceed moving costs
Smart Decision: Hire professionals with proper equipment.
Not Just Strong - Experienced:
- Strongest team members assigned to safe moves
- Experience moving hundreds of safes
- Proper lifting techniques (protect backs!)
- Team coordination (safes require 3-5+ movers depending on weight)
- Problem-solving skills (every safe move has unique challenges)
We've Moved Plenty:
From small home safes to massive 1,500 lb commercial safes - we've done it all across OKC.

How We Move Gun Safes: The Process
Our 7-Step Gun Safe Moving Process
Step 1: Assessment & Preparation
Before we start, we assess your safe (dimensions, weight, route through home) and you MUST empty it completely - all firearms, ammunition, and contents removed. We measure doorways, plan the route, and determine equipment needed. Is it bolted to floor? We'll unbolt. Very heavy safe (1,000+ lbs)? We may remove the door to reduce weight. Planning prevents problems.
Step 2: Wrap & Protect
We wrap your entire safe in thick moving blankets and secure with stretch wrap. This protects the safe's finish (scratches are permanent!) AND protects your floors and walls during the move. Extra padding on corners, complete coverage. Professional protection throughout.
Step 3: Tilt onto Heavy-Duty Dolly
Multiple movers work together to tilt the safe back onto our heavy-duty appliance dolly (rated for 1,500+ lbs). Strapped securely to dolly, now the safe is mobile and controllable. Crew leader coordinates every movement - communication is critical with 1,000+ lb items.
Step 4: Navigate Out of Home
Flat path? We roll on dolly carefully. Stairs? Multiple strong movers (3-5 depending on weight) work together - one step at a time, spotter coordination, slow and controlled. Tight doorway? We angle precisely or remove door trim if needed (with your approval). We've done this hundreds of times - experience matters.
Step 5: Load & Transport
Load into truck via ramp or lift gate, position strategically (weight distribution!), strap to truck walls to prevent shifting. Careful driving - smooth acceleration/braking, avoid rough roads when possible. Your safe is valuable cargo treated with respect.
Step 6: Deliver & Position
Reverse the process - unload carefully, dolly into new home, navigate any stairs, position in your designated room. Remove from dolly carefully, unwrap and inspect together. Bolt to floor if you want (you provide hardware, we install). Reinstall door if we removed it.
Step 7: Final Verification
Safe positioned exactly where you want it? Leveled properly? Bolted if requested? Ready for you to reload? We confirm your satisfaction. Your valuables are now secure in your new home. Mission accomplished.
★ Customer Stories From Across OKC ★
"High Quality Moving for the cost. I'm a military servicemember who had a short weekend to get my moving done, and their moving company brought me peace of mind. They worked with my schedule on the Labor Day weekend. They were very kind, courteous, with excellent customer service. I would use their services again in the future." - Omar Martinez
"High Quality Moving LLC is exactly what the name says, high quality, the guys that moved me were very professional and so polite. They arrived on time and got the job done quick. They were very gentle with my belongings, knowing exactly how to maneuver in tight spaces. I would recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a hassle free moving experience, it was super easy to set up the appointment with a reasonable price. 10/10."
- Tiara Varner
"Derrick & Jaquez, along with Cameron, the owner, were all we could have asked for - very conscientious & took great care with our furniture, as well as protecting door facings they were moving furniture through. We have a lot of antiques & really bulky items. They worked steadily & hard the whole time & everything arrived in perfect condition."
