Receiving a Cannon Safe is exciting, but preparation is essential for a smooth delivery. Gun safes are large, heavy products, so planning the route, inspecting the shipment, and arranging proper installation can help prevent damage and delays.
Before delivery day, confirm where the safe will be placed. Measure the location and path leading to it, including gates, doorways, hallways, corners, staircases, and ceiling clearances. Remove furniture, rugs, decorations, and obstacles that could interfere with movement. Protect flooring and make sure the destination can support the safe’s weight.
Review the retailer or carrier’s delivery terms before the appointment. Some deliveries may be limited to curbside or garage placement, while moving the safe inside may require a professional installation service. Knowing what is included prevents surprises when the truck arrives.
Inspect the shipment before accepting it. Look for punctures, dents, crushed corners, torn packaging, or signs that the safe shifted during transportation. Photograph the safe, packaging, and any damage. If damage is present, note it on the delivery paperwork and follow the seller’s instructions for reporting the issue.
Never attempt to move a large safe alone. Use professionals with equipment designed for the safe’s size and weight. Once positioned, follow the installation instructions and anchor the safe when recommended.
After installation, inspect the exterior and interior, test the door and lock, locate the serial number, review the manual, and register the product. These steps help confirm that your Cannon Safe arrived properly and is ready to protect what matters most.
