Safe Installation & Moving in New York City
At City Safe, we carry out our safe moving and installations using our safe experts. Transporting a safe is not the same as moving a heavy item in other industries. Before our safe moving techs start the job, we analyze and consider the following:
- Weight
- Safety
- Property Type
- Safe Type
- Distance
- Method of Transporation
- Installation
- Budget
The Weight
During the initial consultation, we will determine if the surface can hold the safe or vault’s weight. Just because you fell in love with that High-Security TL-30 safe doesn’t mean that your wooden floor will hold it. It has happened more than once where we saved a customer from buying a safe that is way too heavy.
Another item to consider, the weight affects the price. Sometimes you can buy a safe or vault with the same level of security — but lighter. Give us a call at (212) 729-1375 for a free consultation on the safe type that works best for you.
Most important, it is the personal safety of the client and safe tech. Lifting a cheap 20lbs safe you bought online from Amazon is not the same as a 2,000lbs vault door falling on your foot. Our safe techs are trained to handle the weight of the safe being transported, being carried out the right way. With the right tools and proper knowledge, moving and installing a safe comes to a safe locksmith at the same easiness as using a screwdriver.
The Property
Different locations have different surfaces and obstacles moving a safe or vault to the desired location. There may be a freight elevator in an NYC office building that is wide enough to carry the vault. Yet, what happens when you have to take a 1,500lbs safe or vault up the stairs?
For that, our safe moving experts have custom-designed tools used in the industry, e.g., a stairclimber. A stairclimber will carry the safe or vault up the stairs while our technicians give it reinforcement from both sides.
Another challenge that arises is the type of surface we are transporting on. Commercial-grade steel stairs are not the same as 18th-century wooden ones in a home (yes, we carried a safe up 100+ years old stairs. Our experts analyze the ground and surface before transporting the safe to make sure it can handle the safe and vault.
Frequently, especially on residential properties, the client wants the safe to fit in a very tight dedicated location. Before the safe installation, we will guide you through the right way to measure the space needed for the safe. City Safe will help you be 100% confident that the beautiful AMSEC3020 you saw online will fit in the right spot. If it doesn’t, we’ll help you figure out another option for the best safe to buy.

Type of Safe
The procedure for installing, mounting and bolting standing safes have the same general rules. However, if the choice is between the two, we recommend a floor safe. Wall safes yet secure they are cannot be mounting by bolts as the back end of the safe hangs behind the wall.
That means that if the burglar tears down the wall, eventually they will be able to remove the safe. However, the biggest advantage with a wall safe is that it can be concealed behind a hanging object. If you are interested in purchasing a wall safe, take a look at our collection or give us a call. We would be happy to find the best fit, and install it for you.
Upright safes: bolted and mounted
Floor Safes: concealed, bolted
Wall Safes: no bolting, but concealed
Low Quality Safes: don’t even try
- Maximum Security
- High Security
- Medium Security
- Low Security

Safe Installation And Bolting in New York
The most significant difference between safe installers and safe movers as opposed to regular moving companies is the special tools and the capability to install and uninstall a safe.
Safe and vaults are bought for security. For maximum, security a safe should be bolted and mounted. Some safes have predrilled holes, and some need to be custom made.
The biggest challenge in bolting a safe is knowing the type of surface and what type of mounting accessory is right. We’ve seen people try to mount a burglary safe with self-tapping wood screws.
Anyone who knows a bit about handyman work right away would realize that the safe can be simply ripped out of its place. They may not be able to open it on the spot, but if the burglar takes the safe back to their home, you can be sure it will be a lot easier for them to get that safe open.
Every ground has the right bolts that will fit. Bolting a safe the right way can only be done by a safe expert, ensuring the installation is carried out correctly.
