Floor Safe Removal
Hi, we have a situation here that has been decades coming. We are the owners of 1 family brownstone that we having been renting since the 80’s. At some point, one of the tenants installed a floor safe in one of the closets. He left it behind when he moved, and it has been there…
Hi, we have a situation here that has been decades coming. We are the owners of 1 family brownstone that we having been renting since the 80’s. At some point, one of the tenants installed a floor safe in one of the closets. He left it behind when he moved, and it has been there ever since. No one has ever really cared much about it, but our new tenants want it out. It is a small safe, bolted to the floor, and as far as we know there’s nothing in it.
Does anyone here know of a locksmith or Safe company that can open this thing and get the bolts out of the floor? We know nothing about safes, and from what we have read online, it looks like the only option would be to destroy the floor in order to get it out, which, of course, we would like to avoid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello there
you can try Express Locksmith Las Vegas they helped me in Denver although they don’t have nobody there of their own.
As a former renter that’s the sort of thing I would have negotiated prior to signing the lease. I’d get it functional as denton said above and offer them the use of it without any additional rent increase (I kid about the increase).
I’d have loved to have had a floor safe in my rentals.
Steve when you said “tools”, you did not mean TNT by any chance? 🙂
call Phil at Greenwich lock and key. 212-645-2858. he has drilled safes before and has the boroscope, etc to do this. tell him Steve Cymbalsky told you to call.
If that is too much $$, I may have the tools to cut it open but it might be messy.

No, don’t destroy the floor. I had one myself. The bolts are on the inside, so the best thing would be to get it open, then unjack the bolts. A small safe like that, any competent locksmith can get it open either by scope or by drilling.
I agree w cmu, the best thing would be to get it open without drilling and give the tenants the combo. Then it’s a feature, not a bug.
I always post on the tenant side of things but this is weird. Your tenants “want it out” and you have to spend good money to do it? And it’s small so presumably not very intrusive? Why? I’d tell them (nicely) to suck it up, or be willing to pay to move it.
