FAQ
How is the MAX723028 delivered, and do I need to be home?
Yes, you should absolutely be home for delivery. This safe weighs 1,226 lb and ships via freight carrier on a pallet with lift gate service included. The lift gate lowers the safe to ground level at the curb. From there, moving it inside is the customer's responsibility - you may want to arrange a moving crew or appliance dolly in advance. The carrier will typically call ahead to schedule a delivery window. We recommend calling before purchase to confirm delivery eligibility in your area: 866-278-8022.
What does "EMP-proof" mean for the keypad?
An EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) is a burst of energy that can disable or destroy electronic devices. Standard digital keypads on gun safes can be rendered inoperable by an EMP event - whether from a natural source, a high-altitude nuclear detonation, or even a targeted EMP device. The Steelwater EMP-proof keypad is designed to withstand such events and continue functioning. Additionally, every safe includes a double-bitted mechanical emergency bypass key, so even in a worst-case scenario you can still access your firearms.
What is the difference between maximum capacity (30) and average recommended capacity (16-20)?
The maximum capacity of 30 long guns assumes rifles or shotguns with no scopes, no large stocks, and arranged tightly in both sections of the three-part gun rack. In real-world use, most firearms have optics, tactical stocks, or accessories that take up more space. The average recommended capacity of 16-20 reflects a more practical, comfortable arrangement that leaves room for each firearm and reduces the risk of scratches or damage. If your collection is primarily scoped rifles or AR-style platforms, planning around the 16-20 figure is wise.
Can I upgrade the keypad to a biometric lock?
Yes - Steelwater offers an optional BioMax Biometric EMP-Proof Keypad upgrade. This upgrade replaces the standard digital keypad with a fingerprint-reading biometric unit that also retains EMP-proof protection. The upgrade is available as an add-on at the time of purchase. Contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com or call before ordering to arrange this upgrade.
Is assembly required, and how do I anchor the safe?
No assembly is required - the safe arrives fully assembled. It includes four pre-drilled 1/2" anchor holes reinforced with 1/4" steel plate for secure floor anchoring. Wood anchor kits and concrete anchor kits are available as separate purchases. Anchoring your safe is strongly recommended to prevent tipping and to significantly increase resistance to theft - an unanchored safe, even at 1,226 lb, can potentially be tipped or leveraged by multiple intruders.
What shelves and interior storage options come with the safe?
The MAX723028 includes 8 adjustable and removable shelves: two full-length shelves (24 3/4" W x 17 1/2" D) reinforced with steel u-channel plates, and three smaller shelves (11 3/4" W x 17 1/2" D) that can be repositioned in any section of the gun rack. The safe also includes a heavy-duty door organizer for pistols and valuables, plus a UL Listed power strip with three AC outlets and two USB ports built into the interior.
