We’re the safe movers Surrey calls when a gun safe, home safe or vault has to change addresses. Trained crew, stair-climbing gear, and a plan before anything gets lifted.
Honest hourly estimate. No obligation.
A safe is the one thing in your home that was built to be hard to move. That’s the whole point of it. Four hundred pounds of steel doesn’t roll onto a truck the way a couch does, and most moving crews will look at it, shake their heads and leave it in the garage. We won’t. Safes and vaults are a job we’ve taken on for over 6 years, hundreds of Surrey moves deep.
Every safe move runs on our own crew. No subcontractors, no strangers hired for the day. These are the same trained movers behind our Surrey moving company and the same people IKEA, Cozey and Samsung trust with their biggest deliveries. They plan the route through your doorways, stairs and corners before they put a hand on the steel.
We’re based in Surrey and cover the whole Lower Mainland, seven days a week. Pricing is one story, told once. Time-based, billed on the actual hours worked, broken down for you up front. If you’ve got a gun safe stuck in a basement or a vault that has to leave an office, this is the call.
The most common safe in a Surrey home, and the one most crews refuse. A mid-size gun safe from Liberty, Winchester or Cannon often runs 400 to 700 lb empty, and most of them live in a basement at the bottom of a staircase. We size the crew to the weight, walk it on a stair-climbing dolly one step at a time, and control it with straps the whole way.
Fire safes, floor safes, jewelry safes and the compact document safes that weigh far more than they look. Small doesn’t mean light. A 2-foot fire safe can still push 250 lb, and its weight sits in an awkward, dense little box. We tilt it onto the right dolly, pad the route, and set it exactly where you want it at the other end.
Vaults, cash safes and heavy filing safes for Surrey businesses, from storefront offices to the industrial units out in Port Kells. We plan around your loading dock, your hours and your floor load, and we can run the move after close so your business never skips a day.
You pay for the hours the move takes, broken down before we start. Never a flat-rate guess.
The team that plans your safe move is the team that shows up and does it.

Real five-star reviews from our Surrey customers, straight from Google.
Great experience from start to finish! Abhi and Gary were professional, punctual, and handled my belongings with great care, making the entire move smooth, efficient, and stress-free.
We had great service from the guys moving our household to two different storage units. They took very good care to make sure the correct items went to the right place. They were very respectful, friendly, efficient, and capable. We were very pleased how they wrapped and packed our items. I would definitely recommend using them.
Sach and Karan are amazing movers!!! No wall dents, nothing damaged, really really kind, professional, timely, and efficient. Will definitely request to use them again. Thank you so much!!!
Everyone asks the same first question, and our answer never changes. Safe and vault moves are billed on time, the actual hours the crew works. A minimum charge covers the truck and crew to your door. After that, the clock runs in 30-minute increments. You never pay for a rounded-up hour nobody worked, and we never quote a flat rate.
Before we book anything, you get the breakdown in plain numbers. The hourly rate, the crew size, the travel time, all laid out before anyone touches the steel. That’s how the estimate and the final bill end up telling the same story. On a safe job, four things decide where the number lands.
Steel weight sets the headcount. Two movers handle most bedroom gun safes. A commercial vault north of 700 lb needs a 4-person team on skid boards. We lock the crew in at the quote, so nothing changes at your door.
A garage-to-garage roll is the fastest safe move there is. Add a basement staircase with a tight landing and the crew slows to one careful step at a time. Count your steps before you call and the quote gets sharper.
Moving a safe across Surrey and moving it from the garage to the den are different jobs. A short in-home reposition often wraps inside the minimum charge. Both run on the same hourly model.
A truck that parks at the door saves real minutes. A long driveway, a gated complex or a tower loading bay adds steering time. Photos of both ends let us plan it before the clock starts.
That’s the whole pricing story. Actual hours, 30-minute increments after the minimum, and every number explained before the crew starts. Call (778) 242-2877 with the make and model of the safe, the stairs at both ends, and where the truck can park. You’ll have an honest number in about 5 minutes.
Six years of Surrey gun safes and office vaults taught us what actually saves customers money. Here are 9 things worth doing before the truck pulls up, and each one shaves real minutes off your bill.
Contents can add 50 to 150 lb, and anything loose shifts when the safe tilts onto the dolly. Firearms, documents and valuables travel with you, not in the truck. Pull the shelves too if they lift free.
Check the plate on the back or the manual. A Liberty or Winchester gun safe can run anywhere from 350 to 900 lb empty depending on the series, and a 400 lb job and an 800 lb job need different crews. Can’t find it? Send us the make and model and we’ll look it up.
A safe door swinging open mid-lift is dangerous for the crew and brutal on your door frame. Lock it and keep the key or code on you. If the lock is broken, run painter’s tape around the body and tell us when you book.
Lots of gun safes are anchored to the slab or the studs. Unbolted before we arrive is fastest. If the anchors are seized or you’d rather not touch them, say so at booking so the right tools are on the truck.
How many steps, is there a landing, and how wide is the narrowest door on the route. Two minutes with a tape measure can save the crew 30 on move day.
Moving an 800 lb safe twice costs twice the hours. Decide the room, the wall and which way the door should swing before the crew arrives, and it gets set down once.
Snap the safe, the staircase or hallway it has to travel, and the spot where the truck can park. With those in hand we quote the right crew on the first call. Guessing low on movers doesn’t save money, it adds hours.
Shoe racks, runners and the bikes leaning in the garage all slow a 600 lb roll. When a doorway looks tight, mention it at booking and we’ll plan to lift that door off before the safe reaches it. A clear path at both ends is the cheapest time you’ll save.
Safe moves are short jobs, and morning crews are freshest. Weekends and month-end fill first, so call 5 to 7 days ahead. A 9 am safe move that runs long still finishes with your day intact.
Surrey’s downtown is going vertical, and safes are moving into towers now, not just basements. A vault or a heavy office safe going into a Surrey City Centre high-rise is a different job from a house move, and the elevator is the whole game. We have the strata book the service elevator ahead of time, padded and locked off, so the safe rolls from the loading bay to the suite without waiting on residents.
The sequence matters. Skid boards down in the loading bay, the safe strapped to the heavy dolly, corners and door frames padded before the first roll. Inside the suite, floor protection goes down to the exact wall the safe will live on. Concrete tower floors take the weight fine. It’s the finished flooring on top that we’re protecting, and that’s part of the job, never an extra.
Out in the rest of Surrey, the same planning applies in reverse. A gun safe leaving a Newton basement, right in our home area, is stairs, landings and driveway slope instead of elevators and loading bays. Either way the move is billed on the actual hours worked, with the breakdown in your hands before we start. Tell us both ends and we’ll plan the harder one first.
Yes, gun safes are the single most common safe move we do. We size the crew to the weight, bring skid boards and a stair-climbing dolly, and walk the route through your doorways and stairs before the lift starts.
Safe moves are billed on time, the actual hours the crew works. A minimum charge covers the truck and crew to your door, then the clock runs in 30-minute increments. You get the full breakdown up front, before anyone touches the safe. We never quote a flat rate.
Yes. Stairs are the normal case, not the exception. A stair-climbing dolly walks the safe one step at a time while the crew controls it with straps from above and below. We count your steps and check the landings when we quote, so the right gear is on the truck.
Yes, please. Contents come out, and we recommend you move firearms, documents and valuables yourself. An empty safe is lighter, the door can be secured shut, and nothing shifts inside during the tilt onto the dolly. Lighter can also mean a smaller crew and fewer hours on your bill.
Not the way we work. We lay floor protection along the whole route, pad the doorways and corners, and keep the weight on skid boards and dollies so it rolls instead of drags. Your place looks the same after the move as it did before.
Yes. We move vaults, filing safes and cash safes for Surrey businesses, including the industrial units out in Port Kells. Tell us the item, the weight and the access at both ends, and we’ll bring the crew and equipment the job calls for, after hours if that suits your business better.
Yes, in-home repositioning is a regular call for us. Main floor to basement, garage to den, wherever it needs to go. It’s billed on the same time-based model as a full move, and a short in-home job often wraps inside the minimum charge.
No. Every safe and vault is handled by our own trained crew, the same people IKEA, Cozey and Samsung trust with their biggest deliveries. The team that plans your move is the team that shows up.
Call 5 to 7 days ahead if you can. Weekends and month-end book out first. A safe move is usually a short job, so we can often fit a weekday morning much sooner. Same-week is worth asking about, just call (778) 242-2877.
