The Showroom Floor
We don't sell firearms. We sell safes and vault doors. That's the whole business, and it has been for three generations.
The difference shows the minute you walk in. A gun shop keeps a few safes locked along one wall, and the person behind the counter spends most of the day selling rifles. Our floor has hundreds of safes and vault doors standing open, from a $599 Liberty Centurion to a TL-30x6 AMSEC, and the people on it have one job (telling you how they differ).
We don't believe in selling. We believe in educating. If we can't clearly explain why a specific safe is right for your situation, we haven't done our job.
Norcal Safe & Vault
So bring your questions. Bring a couple of your own long guns, too, if you want to check fit. The gun count on the box assumes slim .22s with no scopes, and most people should plan on 50 to 70% of the advertised number. Stand your own rifles inside the door and you'll know in a minute.
Brands on the Floor
| Brand | Why it's here |
|---|---|
| Liberty Safe | Made in Utah, the most domestically built gun safes of any maker, and the best all-around value across its lineup. |
| Fort Knox | Premium domestic build. The largest standard safe we've ever installed was a 4,500 lb Fort Knox Legend. |
| American Security (AMSEC) | Residential, commercial and TL-rated. It's our go-to for high-security homes and businesses. |
| Browning | Fire ratings and door-storage interiors on a ProSteel build. |
| Rhino Metals | Value-priced residential coverage, made in Idaho. |
| Champion | Competitive mid-tier residential. |
| Vaultek and Stealth | Compact, biometric and quick-access vaults for discreet storage. |
Between the two showrooms we keep up to 1,000 safes in stock. Not pictures. Real safes you can open, shut and walk around. When you open two safes side by side, the right one becomes obvious.

Delivery, Installation and Moving
Our crews are employees, not a moving company we hired this morning. Doug, our lead installer, has placed close to 50,000 safes himself. We deliver up to 6,000 pounds, and we once moved a 5,632-pound, 120-year-old cannonball safe down 40 marble stairs by crane. A 700-pound gun safe into a Los Gatos garage is a normal Tuesday.

What Delivery Costs
We publish it by weight, so you know before you buy. Mileage may apply outside our core area, and the exact figure shows at checkout once you enter the address.
| Safe weight | Curbside drop-offGarage or driveway, boxed and palletized | In-home installationFirst floor, 0 to 4 steps, bolt-down included* | Upstairs or downstairs4 to 15 steps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 to 732 lb | $225 | $325 | $475 |
| 733 to 817 lb | $250 | $375 | $575 |
| 818 to 1,020 lb | $275 | $450 | Not available |
| 1,021 lb and up | $425 | $575 | Not available |
*Bolt-down isn't available on post-tension slabs. We don't drill into, anchor to or test them.
Before Delivery Day
Up to 817 pounds goes upstairs at the published rate. That ceiling is our crew's safety limit, not the floor's. A 500-pound safe spread across its footprint puts less load per square inch on a second floor than an adult standing in one spot.
Send us photos of the staircase and we'll tell you whether your safe can make the turn before we schedule anything.
It's included with in-home installation. The exception is a post-tension slab, common in homes built after about 2000. We don't drill into, anchor to or test post-tension slabs.
If you think your home has one, let us know before delivery day, not at your door.
We unbolt, move and re-anchor safes anywhere in the South Bay, and we coordinate out-of-area pickups. Most residential moves take one to three hours. You'll have a quote within 24 hours.

Pricing, and Buying in Person
Floor prices match the prices on this website. There's no showroom markup. Every safe is tagged with its security level on our 1 to 10 scale, its fire rating in minutes and its starting price. Financing is available. Store pickup is free if you'd rather load it yourself; call a day ahead, bring a truck and take your tailgate off.
What we see time and time again is this. People walk in with a size, a budget and a brand in mind, and all three change once they open two safes side by side. Usually the safe gets bigger. Nobody pushed. They saw the difference.
Don't start with a price. Start with protection.

Reviews
“I came on lunch break from work to look at their selection of safes. I fell in love with one of their safes on display… The safe I chose was also on sale, so I was able to get it at a very reasonable price… I can safely recommend NorCal vault & safe to anyone looking for any kind of safe!”
“Came in to buy a safe for the Black Friday sale… Zach was able to walk me through a few other options that fit what I wanted. Zach spent a lot of time walking through the other safes. Great customer service. If you're in the market for a safe come check them out. Especially the Fort Knox. It'll knock your socks off.”
“…Zack recommended a different one, similar price but a much better safe.”
Frequently Asked Questions
At Norcal Safe and Vault's San Jose showroom, 2897 S Bascom Ave in Campbell. Liberty, Fort Knox, American Security, Browning, Rhino and Champion safes and vault doors stand open on the floor Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm, and our crews deliver and install across the South Bay and Peninsula.
Yes. We move safes we sold and safes we didn't, anywhere in the greater San Jose and Sacramento areas. Our crews are insured and bring the stair-climbing equipment a 1,000-pound safe needs. Quotes from the online form come back within 24 hours, and most residential moves take one to three hours.
On our floor, a Liberty Centurion starts at $599. The midrange most families buy runs about $2,000 to $4,500, and 150-minute fire-rated safes like the Liberty Magnum start at $7,349. Delivery is published by weight, from $225 curbside to $575 for an upstairs installation.
It depends on size and build. Most 25-size gun safes, about 60 inches tall, weigh roughly 400 to 1,500 pounds, depending on steel thickness, door construction and fire rating. That weight is a good reason to let a crew handle the move.
Yes, up to 817 pounds on 4 to 15 steps at our published upstairs rate. Safes over 817 pounds can't go upstairs. Send photos of the stairs and the landing. A tight turn can rule out an upstairs placement for a wide safe, and we'd rather you know that before you buy.
With up to 1,000 safes between the two showrooms, usually yes. Call (408) 559-5004 with the model and we'll check the Campbell floor and the Sacramento warehouse before you drive over.
Yes. Our delivery and installation crews are Norcal employees, and several have been here more than 15 years. We don't hand your safe to a third-party mover.
