I bought a Revolution XL by Pendleton Safes. Cant recommend them enough. Their turret design is a game changer when it comes to organization and storage solutions.

As mentioned before I wholeheartedly recommend Pendleton safes. I have a Knight with the turret. I ordered another last month with door opening to the left side. Safe movers moved the existing one to a new house already and we made room for the new one coming in to the left of the existing one.

I know they are not the cheapest in the market, but buy once, cry once.

I've considered replacing my smaller safe with a large one from Costco but it would be delivered to my driveway- Costco recommends I contact a moving company that deals with moving large heavy objects such as grand pianos to get the safe from the street to inside the house. However in this small town the nearest such company is in Seattle metro area, a hundred miles away. Hiring them to move the safe would be charged portal to portal- travel time and mileage for the 200+ mile round trip. The safe I'm considering weighs 1600+ pounds. Any suggestions?

Buy your own jacking system and get a few friends to help you. A 1600 pound safe is quite challenging though.

Per Rigging.com the pictured model has a capacity of over 3,000 pounds, so sufficient for a less than 2,000 pound safe. the cost is $850 which is less than hiring someone, so that works- the problem is figuring out how to get the safe up the three steps into the house and Down the 13 steps to the basement. My son has a Jeep with a winch- I'm thinking we could figure out a system to pull it up the stairs and then with the winch in reverse, lower the safe down the stairs. I probably should get things sorted out before I order the safe.

Professional safe movers have a dolly that can climb up and down stairs. It’s pretty neat to watch how it works. Something else to check is what are the stairs rate for. The safe and two or three big guys might cause the stairs to fail. Not good.
