I wanted the safe in my closet. Fortunately the MB has a door and small patio to the backyard. Hardest part was getting it into and out of the truck by myself.

There are safes and there are SAFES and we have moved three within the past year - 250 miles. Two of those are SAFES and no "hand truck" of the usual sort would work - at all. Create low angle ramps. I always have used pieces of pipe - if workable cut 2 or so inches longer than the narrower dimension of the safe, and roll with forethought. This time found out that 1" sched 40 pvc (or whatever) pipe works great. The first and last few inches seem to be the most challenging..

My safe is 780 lbs empty.
I had done a dry run int the living room attempting to do the 90* left turn in a very confined space. The doorway to the guest bedroom has a closet wall 39” straight in from the door. The safe is 36” across. My attempts to use broom handle pieces as rollers wouldn’t work in that confined space.
The golf balls worked so well that my petite wife was able to push the safe across the room easily by herself.

Good planing - good result.
