I'm hoping that CB900F will chime in here since he's a Graffunder dealer.
I just bought a B7240 from Graffunder direct, there are no dealers in my area. I'm going to have it shipped to a local safe dealer who will move it for me. My question is this, will the 2100 lbs weight be supported by my floor? I'm sure you have other customers w/ this safe with similar floor constructions. What was their solution to the weight problem posed by these safes? How the heck to people handle heavier safes in their homes? I don't have room on my garage (otherwise I would have sprung for the C rate).
I will locate it over (3) 2x10 joists 16" on center, the home was built in 1952 and the subfloor is 45° laid 1x4 vs. plywood. I will be locating this safe in a corner of a room which is adjacent to the main steel I-beam and the other wall is an exterior wall. I was having trouble deciding between the C7240 and the B7240 but went w/ the B rate b/c I was concerned about weight and I can't get the safe into the basement so the main floor is the only option. Talked to my architect who said to put a beam under the floor to shorten the span but this will look funny in the end of my finished basement, but if it is needed I will do it.
I appreciate input from any of the security experts on this forum.
Regards,
Brian
