The Academy on 59 near Kirby has prices for moving and installing safes. I don't remeber the prices, but I THINK it was around $200 for a move. The install was extra.Does anybody know someone in Houston who can move it to my upstairs aparment for me?

I’m in a similar pickle. I rent a home and can’t really justify the space for a Big Daddy safe. My other problem is that renting, I can’t secure the safe to the Slab. Here’s what I’ve decided to go with.

Now these DO NOT have holes in the back but I’m pretty sure that I can supply my own holes with a rental drill and some patience. I’ll need the holes to Lag Bolt the thing to the wall studs.
Sentry lists this at 227 pounds. Academy lists them a bit heftier. My guess is that Academy is counting the shipping weight not the weight of the safe itself. My hope is that with it Lag Bolted to the studs in a hard to get tools to area with a “few pounds� of guns and ammo in it, it will not be a quick carry case.
But I’m also looking at alarms. Sadly, My LL is not into letting me install a system so I’m looking at Lasershield. I know it has a BUNCH of holes in its design, but it’s the best I can do. My hope is the combo of the Alarm and the Safe as installed will keep all but the most determined thieves out.
