Gun Safe Weight & Cost — FAQ
Residential gun safes typically weigh between 250 and 1,200 lbs empty. A 24-gun safe runs about 350–600 lbs, a full-size 48–64 gun safe 600–900 lbs, and premium heavy-gauge models (Liberty Presidential, Fort Knox Legend) 1,000–1,800 lbs. Commercial TL-rated safes reach 2,000–2,700 lbs.
Most residential gun safe moves in DFW run $350–$900 on a step-free route, depending on weight and access. Compact safes under 500 lbs start at $350; premium 1,200 lb+ safes run $900–$1,800+. Commercial TL-rated safes are custom-quoted. We give a flat written price before the move.
Two trained movers under 350 lbs, three up to about 900 lbs, and three to four above that — with industrial dollies and lifting straps. It's about control and equipment, not muscle. See our crew-size guide.
