The Short Answer
Norcal's Clearance Center carries discounted safes in four grades. Used safes are previously owned and inspected in our shop. Factory seconds have a cosmetic flaw. Scratch-and-dent units were marked in shipping or on our floor, and discontinued models are new safes from lines the maker has dropped. Discounts run from $100 to more than $2,000 off new, and every unit is on the floor in West Sacramento or Campbell.
Four Grades
Many customers assume these words mean the same thing. They don't, and the difference decides what you're getting and what you pay.
| Grade | What it is | Combination |
|---|---|---|
| Factory second | A new safe the manufacturer flagged for a paint or finish flaw before it shipped. Mechanically it's identical to a first. | Factory-set, and we change it for you |
| Scratch and dent | A new safe marked in transit or on our floor, with a scuff, a ding in the body or a chip in the paint | Factory-set, and we change it for you |
| Used | A previously owned safe, inspected, serviced and reset | Reset to a new combination before it leaves |
| Discontinued | A new safe from a line the maker has dropped | Factory-set |
A dent in the side of a 12-gauge body changes nothing about what the safe does. A worn fire seal or a tired lock would, and that's why we check for both before a used safe goes back on the floor.

Our Service Shop
Every used safe goes through our service shop. We don't put a safe back on the floor because it looked fine.
01
Opened, cycled, and the combination reset. Electronic locks get a fresh 9-volt battery and a contact check. On dials we verify the combination and inspect the spindle.
02
Every bolt thrown and retracted with the door open and closed, and the handle checked for play.
03
The door should swing true and seat evenly all the way around.
04
We inspect the expanding seal around the door frame for cuts or gaps.
05
Shelving present, anchor holes clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our Clearance Center in West Sacramento and Campbell carries previously owned safes, factory seconds, scratch-and-dent units and discontinued models. All are guaranteed 100% operable, and all sit on a showroom floor where you can open them.

Often it doesn't, and some items in our Clearance Center may no longer be under warranty. Ask about the specific unit. We'll tell you what the manufacturer covers.
It depends on the flaw and the model. Recent examples run from $100 off a Premium Home 12 to more than $2,000 off a Magnum 25. The new price and our price are on every listing.
