Install Your Gun Safe the Right Way

Bakken Locksmith handles gun safe delivery, anchoring, and setup for homes and businesses in Williston, North Dakota.

Gun safes weigh between three hundred and over a thousand pounds, and moving them into place without damaging floors, doorways, or the safe itself requires planning and the right equipment. Bakken Locksmith coordinates delivery into your Williston home or business, positions the safe where you want it, and anchors it so it cannot be tipped or removed during a break-in.

We work with residential gun safes kept in basements, garages, or closets, and commercial models used in sporting goods stores or shooting ranges. Once the safe is bolted down, we walk you through the locking mechanism, help you set your access code, and make sure the door opens and closes without resistance. You leave with a safe that is secure, accessible, and ready to use in Williston.

If you need a gun safe installed and want it anchored correctly, reach out to Bakken Locksmith to schedule delivery and setup in Williston.

How we position and anchor heavy gun safes

We bring appliance dollies and furniture sliders to move the safe from your driveway or garage into the room where it will stay. In Williston homes with stairs or narrow hallways, we take measurements beforehand to confirm the safe will fit through doorways and around corners without forcing it.

Once the safe is in position, you will see us drill through the base into the floor joists or concrete slab and insert heavy-duty lag bolts or expansion anchors. The safe becomes fixed in place and cannot be pried up or tipped forward, even with leverage tools. The door swings open smoothly, and the shelves inside remain level and stable once the unit is secured.

We also check the dehumidifier port if your safe includes one, confirm that interior lighting works, and show you how to change the battery on electronic keypads. This service applies to residential safes designed for personal firearm storage and larger commercial models used in retail or training facilities. We do not move safes between floors without verifying weight limits and structural support.

Here is what people usually want to know

Homeowners and business owners in Williston often ask these questions when scheduling gun safe installation or preparing their space for delivery.

What is the heaviest gun safe you can install?
We install safes weighing up to twelve hundred pounds as long as your floors can support the weight and we have clear access to the installation area. Larger commercial vaults require additional equipment and may take longer.
How do you anchor a gun safe on a concrete floor?
We drill into the concrete using a hammer drill and masonry bits, then insert expansion anchors through the base of the safe. Once tightened, the anchors hold the safe in place and prevent tipping or removal.
What if my gun safe does not fit through the door?
We measure the safe and your doorways before delivery. If it will not fit, we discuss alternative entry points or recommend a smaller model that provides similar storage capacity.
What happens if the electronic lock stops working?
Most electronic locks include a backup key override. We show you where it is during installation and recommend keeping a spare battery on hand to avoid lockouts.
What tools do you use during installation?
We bring appliance dollies, hammer drills, lag bolts, expansion anchors, and torque wrenches. Everything needed to move and secure your safe is included in the service.
