I have this safe. To move it, take the door off, just open it halfway and slide it up the pins. Now, it's about 100lbs lighter. I moved this into my basement myself using a dolly.

Use a hula hoop to keep the balls contained. It can be like herding cats. Be careful on wood floors though because it can leave dents where they roll.

Or what works even better is a couple 18" sticks of 1 1/2" schedule 40 pipe to roll it around. On smooth floors like laminate or tile, a small rug under it will let it slide. But 340# is really not much at all.

Also, this is usually delivery to driveway or garage, but a little bit of a $ tip will get the delivery driver to give you a bit of a hand getting this closer to where you need it.

with safes generally the heavier the better, else its too easy for 2 guys and a hand truck to wheel it away and get it onto a truck.

I have this safe.

Came a little banged up and the shipping carton was mostly in pieces in the back of the truck. Had several scratches on it that were a bit unsightly. Called Costco costumer service and wound up paying $275 for it after the sale price. Any safe will benefit from a light kit, this one being no exception. Bought this kit [amazon.com] from amazon and had to drill out the rear hole bigger to fit a power strip cord through.

You get what you pay for, but in my case I'm renting a house so until I get my own, a bigger Liberty will have to wait. All in all it's definitely better than nothing. It's pretty light - I was moving it from one corner of a carpeted room to another by "walking" it. The shelves are of okay quality, but the shelf hardware is garbage. I upgraded to slightly longer screws to hold them in place better. The pre drilled holes for the hardware didn't line up on one side for the shelves either. The lock mechanism is decent, but I may upgrade they keypad to a combination lock at some point since I paid less than $300 for it.

Make sure your home address is updated with your Costco account before ordering. Getting this sorted with Costco & the shipping company after purchase was a nightmare.

This is a great safe for the price. The door comes off which is around 1/3 of the weight. It comes with bolts to anchor it to the floor. You will need a concrete bit and drill to anchor the 4 corners. Even if you don't think you need to for security reasons you should do it from a safety standpoint. With that heavy door and the ability to load it up with more weight you run the risk of this thing tipping on you. Costco delivered it in the front door for free. My wife and I pulled the door off and then laid moving blankets on the basement stairs and slowly slid it down. Two of the shelf screws on the inside of mine were damaged in shipment but I easily fix it with some screws that I had. I am happy with the purchase.

It will get the job done, but they could have used 11-12 gauge steel for that price.

My son's piggy bank just broke, looking for something to store his $11. This will do just fine.

I know a few cops that also publicly deny owning any guns but their homes are arsenals.

Seriously though, I also know a few people who have similar safes but have 0-2 guns. These are generally have thicker steel and are more secure than your typical consumer office safe. The larger size allows you to put a lot more things in them that you might not otherwise consider. I know people who keep 3d printer filament in safes with dehumidifiers along side photo albums, important papers, and things that they don't want to lose in a fire. Should a thief get into the safe, they would be very disappointed.

Sucks that they changed delivery option - when I bought it they delivered to first floor room of choice (at this same sale price in Sept.) I had to unpack and get it to the final, exact location though. It was delivered by a third party logistics company, not UPS or FedEx as others have reported.

Serious question - does everyone need one of these, or is this prepper tin foil stuff? I've been thinking about a safe and bullion, but feels too conspiracy-minded for me. Then again, the rich are building doomsday bunkers, so….

I would be hesitant to buy a safe without a penetration rating unless I was only using it for fire.

https://www.amsecusa.com/burglary...explained/

These safes have very thin metal as do all the consumer safes at Costco.

Their thickness in the walls is entirely soft insulation. A drill or angle grinder or reciprocating saw (battery powered) can cut right through the walls of these things.

I was surprised what it takes to even keep a safe protected for even 15minutes.

For example the UL RSC (residential security container) rating calls for 3/16" steel on the door and 12 gauge steel on the walls for ab average penetration time of only 5 minutes.

So what does that mean for all these consumer safes that don't even have a rating?

note this criticism only applies for uses who want to protect valuables. I am sure these safes are fine for fire and keeping the kids from the guns. but I'd be afraid to store all my half value Bitcoin in it LOL

While what you're saying isn't incorrect, the fact of the matter is that most home invasions are crimes of opportunity and not thieves experienced with taking the time to break into a safe (that they can't easily carry away). It's a deterrent for the vast majority of people. If you're storing a high amount of valuables on one of these (let's say $100k+) then you're likely purchasing something more secure. If someone is breaking in with drills, angle grinders and reciprocating saws, then you've already been targeted.
