With over 55 distribution warehouses and some 3500 retail dealers, Gardall Safe Corporation has made its presence known in the ever increasing, fiercely competitive field of safe manufacturing.
The evolution of Gardall can be traced all the way back to the 1930's when a successful Syracuse retailer named George Bloch began a safe manufacturing plant by the name of Protectall. With Bloch's sharp wit and business savy Protectall was soon doing a very respectable business. All of this fame and prosperity soon attracted the attention of a major competitive manufacturing rival Mosler Safe Company, who eventually bought the company for a sum of $1 million.
After the acquisition, Edward Mosler was appointed to head the company in Syracuse. With the help of Henry Bluestone, who ran the sales department when Bloch owned Protectall, Mosler successfully ran the company until 1949. At that time, Mr. Mosler Sr. decided to close the Syracuse plant and consolidate it into the main Mosler facility in Hamilton, Ohio.
At that point, Bluestone decided to start a safe manufacturing company of his own and named it Gardall Safe Corporation. After soliciting and eventually recieving some badly needed financial aid, Bluestone set up a crude, modest and mostly under-capitalized manufacturing plant.
During that time, Gardall was located in a building that was owned by the Falso family, also owners of Thor Metal Products. Gardall was experiencig severe cash flow problems and Bluestone was needing some help to stay alive. Bluestone approached the Falso's with an offer to purchase the controlling share of the company. He knew that with their sheet metal fabricating knowledge and ability to invest much needed liquidity into the business, he could turn Gardall into a profitable business.
Adolph and Raymond Falso accepted Bluestone's offer in 1970 and purchased Gardall Safe Corporation. Bluestone remained with the company doing what he did best, sales.
In 1978, Adolph Falso became a full-time employee of Gardall as its president. Under his leadership, Gardall continued to improve the quality of its products and introduced many offerings to the line. After almost 30 years of selling directly to dealers, Mr. Falso decided that the proper selling channel for safes was through regional distribution. In 1985 he began the process of converting his dealer business into a distribution-based business.
In 1986, Gardall was purchased by David Patton and Ed Baroody. At the time Baroody, a corporate accountant, was vice president of finance for a division of Shell Oil. Mr. Baroody assumed the role of President of Gardall.
Today Gardall Safe Corporation sells products in all fifty states and around the world. Gardall has become a recognized leader in residential, small business, and commercial grade safes. The quality and integrity established by George Bloch continue today. Modern manufacturing designs allow Gardall to continue to be recognized for it's security and functionality.

Comments about Gardall Safe Corporation Quick Ship: Heavy Duty Concealed Wall Safe:
This is a heavy duty, practical safe. Mine has the digital keypad, and I worried about battery failure. They solved this worry by designing 2 small external termals on the keypad so that in the event of battery failure, an external 9v battery could be touched to the terminals to power the until until the combination is entered. I am very pleased with the quality of this product. From quick access to a firearm to jewelry to cash, the safe is versatile for multiple needs.

Comments about Gardall Safe Corporation Quick Ship: Heavy Duty Concealed Wall Safe:
Easy to install, yet installation instructions were sorely lacking. Instructions didn't mention diameter of screw/bolt necessary. And instructions assumed use of lag bolt when lag screw is more appropriate. Had to make two trips to hardware store when better instructions could have precluded that. Otherwise, install quite do-able, even for a non-handy person.

Comments about Gardall Safe Corporation Quick Ship: Heavy Duty Concealed Wall Safe:
Great safe! Very simple to install and highly concealable. You can hide it behind a painting or in your closet behind clothes. I regret not purchasing the push button key pad, which is necessary for quick access. Spend the extra bucks and purchase this safe w/the key pad option. Oh by the way everysafe got my safe home very quickly, i was very impressed how fast i received this safe.

Comments about Gardall Safe Corporation Quick Ship: Heavy Duty Concealed Wall Safe:
A REAL no-nonsense safe. Quality S&G mechanism. I'm resourceful, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't open it without ripping away the wall AND safe. Only then can it be opened with power tools. No standard chistles or prybars will work here. Custom tools could do the job efficiently, but hopefully you secured your Nuclear Reactor Top Secret Documents in a plastic bag in the attic.
Comments about Gardall Safe Corporation Quick Ship: Heavy Duty Concealed Wall Safe:
Very easy to install. Took less than 20 minutes.\nYou just need a sheetrock knife or saw, a drill and bit, 4 lag bolts - not supplied- (3/8 X 2 1/2) and a wrench (ratchet is best).\nIt is a very sturdy safe suitable for small items. I purchased this safe to supplement the primary safe. The wall safe is more accessible, making jewelry change a snap. Buy it, you'll love it.\nCCT- Long Island NY
