Hello I have looked all over but cant find any info, Right now my gun safe is in the basement. I want to move it to my office which is on the first floor, My question is how much weight is safe to put on the first floor. I don't believe there are any beams under where I want to put the safe. I just don't want to be asleep and here one hell of a thud as it goes through the floor lol. So what is the limit. Cause I have around 12 rifles and 10 hand guns and don't want to use a cabinet as they are not inexpensive guns all over $1500 Or is there a super secure gun cabinet that is made ? |

If safe is a 25 size (30w x 25d x 60h) I wouldn't go any more than 700lbs on a 16" on center 2 x 10 floor. If its a 35 size (36w x 28d x 60h) I wouldn't do anymore than 900lbs on the same floor.
I've put 1300lbs safes on wood floors before. But they have had support under them. |
You have 22 gun's and not one has a value under $1500 no need to try and impress us, a lot of guys here have only 1 or 2 cheap guns, it's OK
As to the safe, I would guess it would be fine. You are spreading the weigt out over a lot of square inches, The feet on your bed (occupied) most likely puts more weight then the safe would. ETA: I will save you the trouble. Yes, I am a dick
