When a safe needs a new position

Whether you're bringing in a new safe or moving one you already own, its weight, location and intended use determine the work.

  • New home safe

    We can supply a safe ordered for you, install it in your home and bolt it to a concrete slab.

  • Office safe installation

    An office or cash safe needs a defined location. We assess the placement and installation requirements.

  • Ground-level relocation

    We move safes weighing up to 1,000 lb between ground-level locations.

  • Concrete floor anchoring

    A safe is in position but has not been secured. We can bolt suitable units to a concrete slab.

  • Replacing an existing safe

    You're changing to a different safe. Its size, weight and placement must be assessed before moving or installation.

  • Choosing the right rating

    You need to compare fire protection with resistance to forced opening. Those are separate ratings and serve different purposes.

From safe selection to final placement

We handle the practical parts of getting a suitable safe into position, with clear limits on weight and access.

  • Safe selection

    We explain fire and security ratings, including RSC and TL-15, which describe resistance to attack, so you can compare safes.

  • Ordered safe supply

    Cairn can supply and install a safe ordered for you. There is no retail showroom or walk-in safe display.

  • Delivery and positioning

    We deliver or relocate qualifying safes at ground level. Units beyond our handling limits are referred to a safe-moving company.

  • Installation and anchoring

    The safe is positioned and, where appropriate, bolted to a concrete slab. Its operation is checked before the job is closed.

What goes into the moving price

The quote reflects the safe, the location and the work required. A separate $39 service call fee applies, and you approve the written price before work.

  • Safe weight

    Cairn moves safes up to 1,000 lb at ground level. We refer heavier safes to a safe mover.

  • Access and stairs

    The route to the intended position matters. Jobs involving stairs are referred to a safe mover rather than handled by Cairn.

  • Installation surface

    Anchoring work depends on the placement and the concrete slab where the safe will be secured.

  • Safe and hardware selection

    If Cairn supplies the safe, the selected unit and installation hardware are included in the proposed charges.

  • Work and materials

    The written price separates the work and required parts. Any change to the approved scope is priced before that work continues.

How your safe is placed and secured

Safe moving and installation are scheduled Monday to Saturday. We establish the handling requirements before setting the work in motion.

  1. Tell us about the safe

    Give the office the location, safe type, approximate weight and intended placement. Explain whether it needs delivery, relocation or anchoring.

  2. Confirm the location

    The technician arrives with identification and a work card, checks your authority over the property and reviews the safe's access route.

  3. Review the written price

    The technician confirms the handling and anchoring requirements. You review and approve the written price before the job begins.

  4. Position, secure and test

    The safe is moved or installed as approved. Its operation is checked with you, followed by an itemized invoice for the work.

Questions about moving and installing safes

Weight and access set the limits for safe moves. These answers explain what Cairn can handle and how to plan an installation.

Call (702) 000-0000All questions
How heavy a safe can you move?

Cairn delivers and moves safes weighing up to 1,000 lb at ground level. For heavier safes or moves involving stairs, we refer you to a safe mover.

Can you move a safe up or down stairs?

No. Cairn’s moving service is limited to ground-level work. We refer jobs involving stairs to a safe-moving company.

Can you bolt my safe to the floor?

We install and anchor suitable safes by bolting them to a concrete slab. The technician examines the proposed location and includes the anchoring work in the written price.

Can I see safes at your shop before ordering?

Cairn does not operate a safe showroom. We can discuss the type and rating you need, then supply and install a safe ordered for you.

What is the difference between a fire rating and a security rating?

A fire rating tells you how long the inside of a safe stays below 350°F under rated fire conditions. Security ratings such as RSC and TL-15 describe resistance to attack. A fire safe is not necessarily rated against attack.
