IMPORTANT! ALWAYS CHECK PACKAGING BEFORE SIGNING FREIGHT BILL! Before signing the freight bill, be sure to note down that the safe has damages to the packaging

Order & Delivery: Can I buy on account?

For our business clients we offer the possibility to buy on account with a time of payment of 14 days. For our private clients and consumers this is not possible.

Install a safe: Can you help me with the installation of my safe?

Yes! SafeGear is very happy to offer support in your delivery & installation process of one of our certified safes. Safety and security during the implementation plays a vital role for us. Therefore, we decided to cooperate with professional safe engineers who are able to secure and guarantee this.

 

The costs regarding this depend on numerous factors:

  • the exact weight of the safe
  • the bolting process (if you wish it to be bolted on the wall, floor or somewhere else) 
  • the floor you live on
  • general accessibility of your apartment/house
  • existing elevators or stairs 

 

Planning your delivery and installation process with our support saves you a lot of time, avoids wrong installation and prevents any damage.

A frequent error when installing a safe without professional help is that many people leave a space between the safe and for example the wall, without bolting it appropriately. Moreover, if stored in a wardrobe, it should not be solely put inside, one should create a possibility to bolt the safe to a solid ground. Not following those procedures decreases security and simplifies theft. Our engineer specialists with experience in the vault industry can perfectly install your safe in the wished location and therefore facilitate your life and secure your valuables.

If you consider delivery & installation with our help, please inform us beforehand so we can prepare and arrange the best fit for you.
