Comprehensive Valuables Protection

The DIY Safe Installation Risk

A safe provides security only if it is properly installed. Most big-box store safes are light enough for two people to carry. Our professional installation anchors your safe directly to your home’s foundation, turning a portable box into a permanent fortress.

Gun Safes

Secure storage for firearms and ammunition. Compliance with safety laws.

Document Safes

Fire-rated protection for deeds, passports, and birth certificates.

Jewelry/Cash Safes

High-security burglary ratings for precious metals and cash.

Floor/Wall Safes

Concealed installation for maximum covert security.

Professional Installation Process

We don’t just bolt it down; we ensure it’s positioned for security, utility, and longevity.

1

Site Consultation

We evaluate your home for the strongest anchoring points (usually concrete slab) and best humidity control.

2

Prepare & Level

We prepare the surface and level the safe precisely. An unlevel safe can cause the door mechanism to jam over time.

3

Heavy-Duty Anchoring

We drill into the concrete foundation or floor joists and install high-tensile anchor bolts that withstand thousands of pounds of force.

4

Setup & Training

We help you set your combination, demonstrate maintenance, and advise on dehumidifier needs.

Safe Selection Guide

Choosing the right safe can be confusing. We help you navigate the ratings.

Fire Ratings vs. Burglary Ratings
Fire ratings (e.g., UL 1-Hour) protect paper from heat. Burglary ratings (e.g., RSC, TL-15) measure resistance to tool attacks. We help you balance both based on what you are storing.
Mechanical vs. Electronic Locks
Electronic locks offer quick access and convenience (great for daily use). Mechanical dial locks offer extreme reliability and longevity (no batteries to fail). We install both.
Size & Weight Considerations
Always buy a safe 30% larger than you think you need. Weight matters for second-floor installations—we verify structural load capability before installing heavy gun safes upstairs.

What type of safe do I need for my home?

Fire-rated 30-120 mins. Small size. $100-$400. Home security safes: Best for jewelry, cash, electronics. Theft-resistant construction. 1-4 cubic feet. $300-$1,500. Gun safes: Best for firearms/ammo.

Where should I install my safe in my Austin home?

Best locations depend on safe type. Document safes: Master bedroom closet (easy access). Security safes: Master bedroom closet floor (anchored). Gun safes: Garage (concrete floor) or walk-in closet. Floor safes: Bedroom closet floor or garage. We ensure anchoring capability (concrete best) and climate control (humidity needs dehumidifier).

How do you anchor a safe and why is it important?

Anchoring prevents thieves from carrying away your safe. We drill 4-6 holes into concrete slab or floor joists and use heavy-duty anchor bolts. Makes safe impossible to move without power tools and time.

Yes! We offer free consultation with installation booking. We assess your needs (what you're protecting), budget, and home layout to recommend the perfect safe brand, size, and rating before you buy.
