Safe removal for the one nobody can budge

Safe pickup typically starts around $655. Your final price depends on the size and weight of the safe, how many Loaders are needed, and whether you book curbside or in-home pickup. Access factors like stairs, a basement entry, or a tight hallway can also affect the total. You'll see the full price before confirming, so there are no surprises when your Loaders arrive.

Yes. Heavy safes are exactly the kind of job this service is built for. Your Loaders arrive with the right equipment and technique to move dense, awkward items safely, including navigating them out of basements, upstairs rooms, and tight spaces. The number of Loaders assigned is based on the size and weight of the unit, so the job gets handled properly.

Yes. The safe needs to be emptied of all contents before your Loaders arrive. They're there to haul away the safe itself, not to handle or remove anything stored inside it. Make sure it's also unlocked or that the combination is available if access to the interior is needed during removal.

Yes. Your Loaders handle stair carries and basement access as part of the in-home pickup service. They assess the safest path out before moving the safe and use proper technique to protect your floors, walls, and doorframes along the way. If you have a particularly large or heavy unit, additional Loaders may be assigned to handle the carry safely.

If the safe is bolted down, you'll need to have it unbolted before pickup day. Your Loaders can lift and carry the safe out once it's free, but they don't cut into concrete or remove permanently embedded anchors. A safe that's still anchored to the floor can't be picked up as scheduled, so it's worth handling that step in advance.

Safes are largely steel, so your Loaders prioritize metal recycling where local facility options allow. Disposal outcomes depend on the unit's condition and what recycling or salvage resources exist in your area. A specific outcome can't be guaranteed, but responsible disposal is always the first priority.

It's almost entirely a weight problem. Even a modest home safe can weigh 300 pounds or more, and larger commercial or gun safes can run well into the thousands, far past what one or two people can lift safely without equipment like a dolly, ramp, or appliance straps. That combination of dead weight and awkward shape is exactly why safes are one of the more common reasons people finally call for a pickup instead of continuing to work around it.

Sometimes, particularly for gun safes and higher-end commercial models, which tend to hold resale value better than basic home safes. The challenge is the same one that makes removal appealing in the first place: whoever buys it still needs a way to move several hundred pounds out of your home. That logistics problem is often what causes safe listings to sit unsold longer than lighter furniture or electronics.

If it's a dial or electronic lock, a locksmith who specializes in safes can often open it without damage, and it's worth doing that before scheduling pickup, since a locked safe with no combination or key available can't be picked up as-is. If the safe turns out to be empty or you no longer need it after opening it, you can book removal once it's accessible.
