Gun safe

[Pin]

I bought my first safe. Finally I get it inside and unbox it, it's not light. On the top it has been dented and the paint chipped up along the side, about two inches. This is a fire proof safe, should I return it for an exchange? Or will that crack be ok?

I would exchange.

I would exchange for a new one, your guns deserve it.

How long have you had it??? Many places require you to inspect for damages on delivery or a very short time afterward.

Sweet deal at Menards if anyone is looking for a digital lock on a fireproof safe. Check you local store though as these are leftovers from Black Friday.

If it is heavy, most likely filled with concrete***(lined).
I would return the safe as I purchased one with a crack
and the crack spread on the safe after a couple of years

Certainly return it for exchange, if able.

The metal is cracked? Or just dented and the paint chipped? Sounds like it could have been dropped or tipped over. Was the box/packing material damaged looking? Does the door and lock mech function properly? At any rate, I'd call the seller and tell them and ask for a replacement. As soon as you take possession of it, examine the safe's container for signs of damage.

I would exchange it as you didn't pay for damaged goods.

I picked it up at menards Thursday. The box looked fine, I didn't take it out of the Box until I had it in place Saturday. He guy said he had a few more....

I picked one of these up black Friday as a 2nd to put docs in. For that price it is hard to beat.

To address the OP question, I would make sure they have another one (before you take it back) then exchange it. Damage will affect resale as you will likely out grow it.

Safes typically are not concrete lined but instead with drywall unless it is a higher end safe like Johnson then it may be a ceramic liner.

The door is removable & makes it easier to move. Find where it is going to live, put a dehumidifier or moisture absorber in & BOLT IT DOWN.

Exchange it! A fire safe is no good if it has holes in it.....

 

[dmarsh8]

Menard's sometimes tends to have "deals" that aren't necessarily
of quality.

 

[artesianjack]

Definitely exchange!

 

[scootn103]

Return , you paid for quality not damaged goods

I would return it the crack would hurt the ability to be fireproof.

ending to the story. I returned it to get another. which wasn't as fun as it sounds. When I picked it up my brother in law helped. This trip was all me and my wife giggling as I man handled it out and the new one in. She is pregnant so I really didn't want her help. She did hold the door for me and tell me my dog was in the way, which is usually where the dog is.
