Depends is it your safe or someone else'sAnyone know if the door would come off a liberty centurion (I believe 23 gun) safe?
If you are just trying to remove the door for transportation, which I've done MANY times, it could be relatively easy.
If you have external hinges, simply(ha, ha) open the door past 90 degrees, then lift straight up off the hinges.
Do NOT try this alone!
Even if you can lift the door by yourself, it will be extremely awkward and heavy. You will want help to remove it, or at least someone to call 911 if you drop it on yourself.
You'll need at LEAST one extra pair of hands to reset the door too. Lifting it is bad enough, but trying to lift and align the hinges at the same time is really hard by yourself.
My mother in law has a safe she needed the combo lock changed on..she called a local company and they told her just remove the door and bring it in. I thought this to be a little strange so I contacted the company and they told me that under no circumstances should the door be removed...they say that it can affect the alignment due to the weight. That being said as you can see from above posts that it can be done...I just dont think I would do it myself.
I have a safe to move too. Are you volunteering? it only needs to go 30 miles north and down into the basement!
I'm up for most ANYTHING, if the price is right.
i see what you did thereI guess I should have given the rules up front. I have homebrew in a kegerator in the room where this is going. I have a 1500 lb lift gate that will do the lifting. So, really I'm not asking for more than a few warm bodies who enjoy drinking beer.
Either that, or I'll move it around the house with a bobcat when I do the patio this spring.
Either way, I'm drinking beer.
