I lost my combination to my safe, do you have it on record?
The short answer is no. We do not keep records on safe combinations,
both because of the potential liability involved and because of
the logistics of the situation.
However, if you did not have the combination change when the safe
was installed the manufacturer may have a record of the combination
that was on the safe when it shipped. We need the manufacture,
model, and serial number of you safe to check into it. Call the
shop (801)966-6767 with the information and we will do our best.

What is a floor safe?
A floor safe is an all-metal safe that is buried in the floor
of your house. it offers extremely good burglar and fire protection
since all but the lid is buried.
The two main downsides to floor safes are that you must consider
how condensation can effects the contents (use "ziplock"
bags ) and that you must get down to the floor level to retrieve
the contents (may be a problem for people with limited mobility
or when you have that brand new $5,000.00 dress on ). - Updated

Can a safe be bolted down?
Most, if not all, jewelry (burglar resistant) and gun safes have
provisions to bolt them down and prevent movement. Most fire safes
do not have these provisions. - Updated: January 11, 2002
I need my safe moved, can you help?
we can move most safes whether purchased from us or not. We have
the equipment to move almost any safe. The cost is determined
by the location, the weight, the distance, and any special procedures
or precautions we must take.
However, we can't move heavy safes from or to second story locations
or from locations that require cutting holes in roofs , walls,
or floors. Call the shop (801)966-6767 and ask for Bill, he will
discuss the move and give you an answer. - Updated: 11, 2003
Can I store valuables in a "Gun Safe"?
As in a lot of safe questions the answer is both yes and no. Gun
safes are primarily designed to protect guns from heat and improper
access. The burglary protection is mot nearly that of a true "jewelry"
or "burglar resistant" safe. Thus, the overriding consideration
is whether you feel the protection offered by the gun safe is
adequate for the value of the contents. - Updated: January 11,

Can I store computer disks in a safe?
Yes and no. A safe including a "fire safe" will protect
your computer from fire but the protection may not be adequate
to save it. Media safes are required to limit temp and humidity
extremes in order to protect. Most safes cannot do an adequate
job of either/both. If a safe is capable of protecting media you
can bet they will advertise it up front. - Updated: January 11,
