Locking cabinet from a store with inside delivery

[Zordude]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good place where I can get a locking cabinet (for ammo) that will do an inside delivery?

I was interested in this one at Lowes, but the best they will do is drop it in the driveway.

How much does it weigh?

Pizza and beer are cheap.

That can't weigh more than 150lbs. Rent a refrigerator dolly for the day. As mentioned, Pizza and beer should get it in the house.

I used a refrigerator dolly from u-haul to move an 850lb safe. that shouldnt be a problem.

Sears sells a craftsman cabinet that works well. It comes unassembled so maybe that will help you.

Here you go:

Shop BLACK & DECKER 76-3/4"H x 31-3/8"W x 19-3/4"D Wood Composite Garage Cabinet at Lowes.com

Try Staples

I deliver freight for a living. The whole "inside delivery" thing can usually be accomplished by taking a $20 out of your wallet and showing it to the driver. It usually works for me.

Something light like that should get in your house as mentioned for 20 bucks or so.....

This. especially when it's not an 850lb safe delivered to the upstairs. That one takes a little more but is still purchasable on the spot.

The reviews on that aren't that good (cheap quality, flimsy...). They sell metal locking cabinets, just picked one up for someone but haven't put it together yet.

I'll do 700lb safes into garages or street level by myself. Takes some financial coaxing though. Did 500 pounders into basements twice. One guy paid me $150, the other guy said he would "take care of me", that's usually code for a good sized tip, turned out to be a bottle of water. Now I make sure we're clear on the terms first.

I bought used office furniture for gun stuff storage. Guns are in a gun safe, but I keep the rest locked in metal cabinets that came out of a bank. They are heavy and solid.

I bought them from:

Prices were fair and he had delivery available for an additional, but reasonable cost. He was a good guy and good to deal with. FYI it's not a fancy showroom but rather more of a warehouse space. But that's why his prices are so good.

After getting it into the house, you have another problem..... finding ammo!

I have that cabinet. It's particle board but would work if you shore up the shelves (they rest on flimsy plastic brackets). I keep reloading stuff in it. It came unassembled. I have a metal cabinet with electronic lock that I got from staples. It is nicer but shelf weight is still quite low. I had to add supports in order to keep ammo in it. I did a pretty exhaustive search a few years back and cabinets tend to be pricey.

Anything unassembled can be opened in the driveway and walked in one piece at a time. I have done this for plenty of larger things when alone.
