One of the problems is that safes are heavy, and unwieldy, and therefore have some limitations as to where they can be stored. But if you’re smart about placement for the beginning—or invest a little time in making sure it’s in the right location—it will pay off in security, and peace of mind.

While the safe itself plays a critical role in securing your belongings, we’re taking a look at the first line of defense in having a safe that is hopefully not discovered by would-be burglars with these seven areas we’d recommend against storing your safe.

1. The Master Bedroom

It may seem like the bedroom is an ideal spot to keep your safe as it’s often private, and convenient for keeping valuables close by (especially with a gun safe where you may want your guns easily accessible). But this is also why it’s one of the worst places to store your safe, as burglars usually stop in the master bedroom first. They know people commonly store jewelry, cash and important documents there, so placing your safe here is effectively making it easy for intruders to find your most prized possessions.

Better alternative: a lesser-used room, such as the guest bedroom or an inconspicuous closet.

2. Garage

Another convenient location, especially if your safe is heavy, and difficult to move. But your garage is often more susceptible to break-ins than the main living areas of your home. The garage is also open to prying eyes every time the main door is opened, which can potentially make you a target Furthermore, garages are prone to extreme temperature changes, and humidity, which could damage the contents of the safe—bad news if you’re storing documents, electronics or firearms. (Though, humidity can be mitigated with a dehumidifier.)

Better alternative: if you need to store the safe outside, a well-secured utility or storage room with climate stability is more ideal.

3. The Basement

Basements are out of the way. They’re hidden. So they’re a good place for safes, right? Well, they come with their own set of challenges. Basements are prone to flooding, for starters, which can be disastrous for the contents of your safe, even if it’s fireproof or waterproof. Moisture levels are higher in general in basements, which can lead to mold, mildew and rust over time. Safes can also have limited access for larger safes. The absence of basements will have most North Texas homeowners exploring other options anyway.

Better alternative: if you must store the safe in the basement, consider putting it on an elevated platform that can handle the weight and install a dehumidifier to protect against moisture damage.

4. In Plain Sight

As you might pick up on, convenience, and accessibility are a couple of the biggest reasons people store safes in poor locations. But this often means the safes are in plain sight and not really hidden. Common visible places where safes are stored include the living room, study or home office. This can catch the eye of anyone entering your home, including guests, service workers or potential burglars. If the safe is visible, you’re forfeited your first line of defense in securing your valuables.

Better alternative: conceal your safe behind a false wall, inside a piece of furniture or within a closet that’s locked. This maintains the convenience while keeping it out of plain sight.

5. Attics

Like basements, these out-of-the-way spots seem ideal for hiding valuables. But they can be problematic for a few reasons. They’re difficult to access, which is a pain if you need to reach your safe regularly, and this also limits the size, and weight of the safe that can be stored in your attic. They’re also susceptible to temperature fluctuations, which can damage sensitive items over time. Finally, in the event of a fire, attics are one of the most vulnerable areas of the home.

Better alternative: A secure, climate-controlled room on the main level of your home is a better balance between safety, and accessibility. 

6. Under the Bed

Like the master bedroom, this is another common place criminals typically look first when searching for a safe. It’s not only obvious, but easy to access quickly. A safe small enough to fit on the bed is also one that may be light and/or not bolted down, so it could become a convenient grab and run for a burglar.

Better alternative: a safe bolted to the floor or hidden within a secure piece of furniture.

7. The Closet

Closets are common places where people store safes, but criminals also know this. The master bedroom closet, in particular, is one of the first places a burglar will look. These are especially vulnerable if they don’t have locks, they’re left unlocked or if a thief is persistent. 

Better alternative: a hidden compartment in a wall or floor that can be concealed, and secured.

These places aren’t ideal, but there are plenty of good options for you to consider instead. As long as it’s unexpected, secure, and discreet, you will hopefully avoid making your safe, and easy target. The convenience of some of these options cannot be denied; this is where choosing a secure safe is as critical a decision as to where you store your safe.

Swapping out your gun safe lock may seem like a tall order for your average person. But it’s doable. Below, you’ll find some step-by-step instructions for how to remove your mechanical lock and install a new electronic lock on your gun safe. If you want to mitigate risk or if DIY seems difficult, you can always call the experts. 

But, in the meantime, here are some general guidelines to follow for how to change your gun safe lock.

For those that prefer video format, you can watch A-1’s very own Robert cover the steps on how to change your gun safe lock below:

Step 1: Get Your Tools

First, you’ll need a screwdriver, some pliers, and, preferably, a cordless drill. Be sure to have them on hand so you can avoid the frustration and inconvenience of starting the process, only to halt it so you get the right equipment. 

Step 2: Remove the Back Panel of the Door

Open the safe, and on the back, using a screwdriver, take the caps of the screws off the door. If it’s a Liberty Safe, for example, it will generally have four tapper screws located on the corners. Using the drill (or a screwdriver, if you really want), remove the screws on a low speed, nice, and gentle. Once the screws are out, the panel will slide off easily. Put it to the side.

Step 3: Remove the Backplate 

First, put the bolts in the locked position, as it’s recommended to ensure all lock components are out of the way as you change it. On the “mouse trap,” it’s also recommended to pull the springed element up, and propped to the side so it doesn’t go off and make the process more difficult (which is why it’s often called a “booby trap”). Then you can remove that mouse trap by unscrewing a few screws. Just make sure you put the springed element back when you’re done!

Step 4: Remove the Spline

Using pliers, remove the spline key. It’s a small component that will be visible after you remove the backplate. Don’t mess with it too much with your pliers, as you can damage it. You’ll know you did it correctly if your dial on the front is locked into place. 

Step 5: Remove Lock Body, and Dial

Using the drill again, remove the four screws holding the lock body from the door. Then unthread the dial on the front to completely remove the lock. (Watch our video for more details about any of these steps, by the way.) Lastly, just remove the front trim and you’ll be done removing the old lock.

Step 6: Add the New Lock

Using the same holes that held the old lock parts, add the new components using the lock manufacturer’s instructions. This will include mounting the front screws, feeding the keypad through and installing it, adding the lock body, and backplate, and then plugging in the cable, and adding the battery. Don’t forget to put the springed element in the mouse trap back to its original position.

Step 7: Test It! 

Keeping the door open, test the code on the front and make sure it unlocks the safe properly before you add the back panel of the door back. 

Step 8: Replace the Back Panel

Once you confirm everything has been changed properly, and that your new gun safe lock is working, you can put the safe back together like it was initially. The main part of this will be adding the back panel to the back of the front door, followed by the screw caps. 

There you have it! You now know how to change your gun safe lock. If you need additional help, don’t hesitate to contact A-1 Locksmith today—either to ask questions or hire us to change your gun safe lock for you.

Take gun safe moving services, for example. There are several factors, and scenarios to consider when it comes to moving a gun safe (especially if it’s a larger model). We’ll discuss them in today’s post as we cover how to find the best gun safe mover in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Determine Whether the Movers Offer Specialized Services

First off, it’s important to understand the importance of specialized services like moving gun safes. Not all movers are equipped to handle moving large, bulky, heavy items like gun safes, so you need to make sure the company provides specialized services. A general mover may not have the equipment, expertise or ability to safely move a safe (no pun intended). Specialized movers, on the other hand, have the necessary tools, and training to handle these sensitive items without damaging your Dallas-Fort Worth property or the safe itself.

Look for Licenses, and Insurance

Of course, you’ll have companies out there that claim to have the expertise, equipment and knowledge to move a gun safe, but they really don’t. Or, they’re not a legitimate company. Either way, you can ensure the company is reputable if they are both licensed, and insured. Licensing is a mark of legitimacy, and professionalism, indicating the company meets state, and federal regulations. Similarly, insurance protects you from any liability in case of damage or injury during the moving process. A reputable gun safe mover will gladly provide proof of both of these.

Check Expertise, and Experience

Handling gun safes requires a certain amount of experience to pull off. Dallas-Fort Worth companies that have been in the business for several years have more knowledge about what to do (and what to avoid) when it comes to moving gun safes. Look for companies with a proven track record of successful gun safe moves, as well as ones that have the right equipment like stair-climbing dollies, hydraulic lifts (if necessary) and heavy-duty straps. Techniques are also something that can’t be faked, especially when navigating heavy safes through narrow spaces, and stairs.

Read Reviews, and Testimonials

Customer feedback is an invaluable resource when choosing a gun safe moving service. These provide insights into the experience of other clients, and can highlight the company’s strengths, and weaknesses. Look for reviews on multiple platforms, like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Pay attention to comments about punctuality, professionalism and care in handling valuables. These can all indicate whether the company provides satisfactory service in addition to capable service.

Ask About Security Measures

Gun safes are obviously a part of security. While it’s ideal for the safe to be empty when it’s moved, it’s still a sensitive piece of equipment that you don’t want to be compromised. Asking certain questions, however, can give you peace of mind. Here are some examples of how you can inquire about security measures:

• How do you ensure the safe isn’t tampered with?
• How do you handle the transportation route?
• Will the safe ever be unsupervised or accessible at any time?
• What are your protocols for unauthorized access?
• How do you protect my information, like my address?

The best gun safe moving companies in Dallas-Fort Worth will have stringent security measures, even if the move is a short one.

Verify Equipment and Techniques

If you haven’t worked with the gun safe mover you choose before, you can reduce uncertainty by verifying what they said about equipment, techniques, and expertise. Even if it’s just at the start, observe or ask for a demonstration about the type of equipment they use, and their moving techniques based on potential obstacles. For example, if the safe is currently on the second floor or moving to one, you can ask how the mover is going to handle it. Seeing equipment in person can also give you peace of mind.

Assess Customer Service

Good customer service is a hallmark of a reputable company. If the mover doesn’t care about how they talk to you as a customer, what makes you think they’ll treat your gun safe or Dallas-Fort Worth property with care? A gun safe delivery, and moving company that values customer service is more likely to go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction and that you have a positive experience.

Trust Your Gut

At the end of the day, some companies may seem similar and check off all the boxes on your list. In this scenario, you simply have to trust your instincts. You can usually tell when other people are lying and if something doesn’t feel right about a company, it’s probably a sign that you should keep looking.

Hopefully, these tips help you find the best gun safe moving service in Dallas. A-1 Locksmith is proud to be one of the most reputable options in DFW, and we’d love to earn your trust. If you have any questions about our gun safe moving services or would like to request a quote, contact us today.

Here are a few of the most popular types of Browning Safes so you can narrow down which type is right for you.

1. Large, and Medium Gun Safes

Browning is a renowned brand with a rich history in firearms, outdoor gear and safes. As such, the company offers a variety of safes for different types of firearms. There are long-gun safes for shotguns, and rifles, smaller safes for pistols, and everything in between. These safes come in different fire, and security ratings—and dimensions vary, even if the safes are the same type—so you can choose one that fits your preferences.

2. Home Safes

Home safes aren’t that different from gun safes, but they don’t come with as many firearm-inspired features. Instead, their specifications are designed with security, and convenience in mind. These can also vary in size, but all carry the same craftsmanship, durability, and quality you’d expect from a Browning safe. Also, Browning has different lines of both gun safes, and home safes (e.g., Core Series, Pro Series, etc.), so be sure to consult with a professional or look at online product descriptions to understand the differences.

3. Compact/Small Safes

If you’re looking to store handguns or pistols, a smaller safe might be the best option. This is especially true if you want to keep a handgun near you while sleeping, or in another area of your home for convenient and secure access. These can range from models that hold a single firearm and some ammunition to multiple firearms. It just depends on your desired dimensions, and how you want to mount/store it.

4. Vaults/Vault Doors

Browning also has a selection of Vault Doors for those with the biggest storage needs. These provide protection for entire rooms of firearms, and other valuables, and models can swing outward or swing inward. Materials, and features can also vary on these, but they’re usually available in most standard door frame sizes.

5. Rated Safes

For those with higher security needs, a fire or TL-rated safe may be in order. These safes are designed to withstand sophisticated criminal attacks, explosions, and fires. For example, a TL-15 safe is tested to withstand 15 minutes of intense attack, while a TL-30 is designed for 30 minutes. Both gun safes, and home safes can be specially rated. Again, a Browning safe expert can help you decide if a rated safe is right for you.

If you’re looking for a Browning Safe, consider shopping online with A-1 Locksmith today. We have a wide variety of types to choose from that will meet your needs.

Since the latter is our specialty, we thought it would be beneficial to outline how much firearm safes have advanced over the years. Join us as we delve into the historical timeline of gun safes, exploring origins, milestones, and their current significance today.

Gun Safe Origins

To look at how gun safes started, we must consider the development of firearms, which coincides with the development of weaponry in general. It’s also important to note that in ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece, and Rome, people had valuables that they protected (usually in a fortified, guarded chamber of their home). Weapons were considered valuable, so it made sense that many stored them in these chambers. This naturally set the groundwork for future safe rooms or enclosures that would hold modern weapons like firearms.

The Medieval Impact

As weaponry, and armor advanced during the Middle Ages, people needed more robust storage solutions. From castles to fortresses, more, and more buildings included armories, where swords, spears, and bows were meticulously organized, and protected (sound familiar?). These armories often featured heavy doors, intricate locks, and even hidden compartments that deterred theft and ensured the safety of the assets inside. It’s easy to see how these practices impacted the security features, and organization options found in many of the modern gun safe options available today. But these early structures were still primarily used for military purposes.

The Rise of Gunpowder

It wasn’t until gunpowder was invented in China in the 9th century that warfare took another big step forward in the development of weaponry. Gunpowder spurred the development of firearms, and they quickly became more prevalent—as did the need for storing them safely. By time the 19th century rolled around, firearms were so widespread that they were popular for both personal, and military use. As a result, the first forms of the gun safe emerged.

Early gun safes were pretty simple compared to today’s options, and were made from less-durable material like wood, and iron. Gun owners prioritized functionality over, sophistication, which is why early gun safes often featured basic locking mechanisms (e.g., key-operated locks, etc.). Even though they were simple, gun safes played a crucial role in preventing unauthorized access to firearms, and ammunition. More convenient features like keyless entry, and combination lock systems would soon emerge.

Industrial Revolution

Significant advancements in manufacturing techniques led to improvements in gun safe design and construction, making it easier for more of the public to be able to afford them. Gun safes were becoming stronger and crafted from materials like steel, making unauthorized access more difficult. Tamper-resistant features began to pop up, and locksmiths, and safe manufacturers worked together to pioneer innovative locking mechanisms. As a result, gun safes became increasingly reliable, and resistant to tampering.

20th-Century Innovations

Technological innovations continued into the 20th century, as the world witnessed the introduction of features like electronic keypad locks, biometric sensors, and digital access solutions. Gun safes became more convenient without sacrificing security, allowing firearm owners quick and easy access to their weapons, which they knew would be secured until the time they were needed.

Additionally, materials, science, and engineering led to the development of fireproof and waterproof gun safes, as well as specialized safes. All of this offered more peace of mind to firearm owners when it came to environmental hazards, as they knew whatever was stored inside would remain intact even in the event of a fire or flood.

Modern Gun Safes

Firearm safety continues to evolve, and the gun safe industry is in a better place than ever. Today’s gun safes come equipped with state-of-the-art security features like remote monitoring, tamper alerts, and mobile app integration. Smart safes offer unparalleled convenience, and peace of mind, letting their owners monitor and control access to weapons from anywhere in the world. Furthermore, owners can pick whatever access type they prefer and even customize their safe in several other ways. Whether it’s a compact safe for home defense or a large-scale vault for collectors, there’s a gun safe tailored to meet every need, and budget.

As you can see, the history of gun safes is a testament to human ingenuity, and our natural desire to protect valuables. As we look to the future, A-1 Locksmith is proud to be at the forefront of future gun safe advancement and will always offer the best security solutions to its customers.

One of the most prevalent queries that echoes among gun owners, and enthusiasts is whether gun safes are eligible for tax exemptions in the Lone Star State.

Let’s take a closer look at the laws around these types of purchases, and where to find the best tax-free gun safety options in the Lone Star State as we answer the question, “are gun safes tax free in Texas.”

What the Law Says

First, let’s take a look at what the state government has to say about it. According to the website for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, “the sale, storage, use, and other consumption of firearm safety equipment is tax free. This includes, but is not limited to, a gun lock box, gun safe, barrel lock, trigger lock, firearm safety training manual or electronic publication, or other item designed to ensure safe handling or storage of a firearm.” So the short answer is yes, gun safes are tax free in Texas.

Why Get a Gun Safe?

Of course, you don’t just buy something because it’s tax free. It must have benefits to justify the cost. With firearm safes, however, the investment is worth it for several reasons:

• Protection: It keeps firearms away from children who can access it.
• Storage: you need somewhere safe to store firearms, and protect them from damage.
• Insurance: many companies provide a discount on your policy if you use a safe.
• Access: in the event of a home invasion, you know where your firearms are.
• Valuables: in addition to firearms, you can store cash and other precious items.

These are just a few reasons to get a gun safe, but there are countless others, from protecting against fires, and explosions to safeguarding your rights.

How do you know which is which? 

When it comes to safes at least, we can help. If you own a home safe (especially one you’re using for firearm storage), you should know which accessories are necessary, and which you can do without. Let’s go over the safe accessories you should prioritize on your wish list.

1. Dehumidifiers

Probably the No. 1 must-have accessory if you’re storing a firearm, dehumidifiers keep condensation from settling (and usually rusting) on metal. This maintains the life of whatever metal item you’re storing, ensuring your firearm functions as well when you pull it out of the gun safe as it did before you stored it in the safe. There are dehumidifiers available in several sizes, and styles (e.g. desiccants, rods, rechargeables, etc.), so choose one that fits your space, maintenance, and usage needs.

2. Interior Lights

Safes are dark by design. To see corners, and the back of your safe, a lighting kit may be in order. Especially beneficial at night, interior lighting can be combined with mirrors to help you see every area of the safe. You can go with one that a manufacturer specifically designed for your model, or go with a universal option. 

3. Exterior Lights

In addition to lights inside the safe, consider lights outside the safe. You want to be able to quickly access your safe at night, so if it’s under your bed or in the closet corner, make sure you have proper illumination (motion-tracking is a smart choice here). At the very least, ensure you can see the lock or combination pad if yours is not illuminated.

4. Organizers

Perhaps you have accessories or ammunition for your firearms. Or, you own multiple firearms, and other valuables. An organizer can help you keep things nice, tidy, and accessible in your safe. There are handgun hangers, door panel organizers, rifle organization compartments, drawers, and more. 

5. Mounting Kit

While we’re adding this to the accessory list, if you don’t want the potential of your safe walking off then a mounting kit should rather be thought of as part of the cost of the safe. There are two big benefits to mounting or anchor kits: 1, they keep the safe from tipping over; and 2, they make the safe more difficult to steal. A mounting kit also lets you secure, and store the safe by fastening to a wall or ceiling – you have more options than just bolting to the ground. 

If you’re interested in a home safe or safe accessory, browse our online shop today or stop by one of our DFW-area locations, and we’ll answer any questions you may have.

If you’re not a professional, however, you should think twice before you tackle something outside your area of expertise. Home safe delivery is one such area.

We often get asked how we deliver big, bulky safes in hard-to-reach locations. In this post and video, we take a look at a 650-pound Liberty Franklin Model Safe we successfully delivered to a customer who wanted it on the second floor.

Watch the video, and/or read about it below.

Key Components for Safe Delivery

When it comes to home safe delivery, there are a few best practices to consider, whether you’re doing it yourself (with help) or hiring a professional. Here are some of the key components for home safe delivery:

• Reachable location: the safe has to fit in the space, and the path to the space.
• Proper weight: the space needs to support the 50-500+ pounds of the safe.
• Experience: whoever is moving it needs to know what they’re doing.
• Multiple people: bigger safes especially shouldn’t be moved alone, even with a dolly.
• Mitigated risk: whether it’s for personal injury or property damage.

Is Delivery or Pickup the Best Option?

The two main factors with this decision are: the size of the safe, and the difficulty in delivery. As for the size of the home safe, many people can handle 100 pounds or less with a dolly (assuming no or few obstacles). Anything more than that requires two people, and some practical knowledge. So if you’re confident in both of those departments, picking up your safe yourself might be the best option.

If the safe is approaching 200 or 300 pounds (or more), it might require professional equipment and experience. The difficulty of reaching where you want the safe delivered might also require an expert’s strategy, whether it’s up stairs, around corners or past obstacles. (Though be aware an extra fee may be charged for difficult delivery situations like this.)
