[QUOTE="winmag, post: 595847, member: 22166"] Lay a carpet runner down, or e en an old blanket, then lay plywood down on top of that. It should protect your floor just fine from a lot more than 800#. I have moved quite a few safes being in comercial construction, & yours being only 800ish lbs is light enough for a good dolly/hand truck. My dad, my uncle, & I moved dads huge Browning safe out of a moving truck, down the driveway, up the steps into the house, & accross the carpet floor with a single heavy duty handtruck. It was some work, but easily doable with 3 guys. On concretfloors we usually use pipes for rollers, or some guys use Ice cubes, but I like the golf ball idea. Never thought of that one. I'd give it a whirl on plywood. Don't tamper with the door. Incase of fire etc. your insurance will not cover anything in your safe if the safe has been tampered with in any way. No matter how many hour fire rating it has. If your firearms are appraised & insured, that can be a huge deal. Good luck [/QUOTE]
