Expert Safe Moving Services in Chicago and the Surrounding Suburbs
Quick Key Locksmith & Security provides professional safe moving services across Chicago and surrounding Illinois counties. We move a wide range of safes, including gun, fire-rated, wall, and floor safes. Whether you’re relocating within the same home or to a new property, our team uses proper equipment to move your safe securely and protect surrounding floors, walls, and entryways.
Full-Service Safe Relocation for Homes and Businesses
Our safe locksmiths move both residential and commercial safes. Before moving your safe, we assess your safe’s weight, dimensions, mounting type, and the layout of your space. This careful prep work ensures a quick and damage-free moving experience. Here are just a few of the types of safes we can move for you:
- Large floor-mounted gun safes
- Data safes for businesses
- Commercial depository safes
- Wall and floor jewelry safes
- Fireproof safes
At the new location, we reinstall the safe, verify door clearance, and test the locking mechanism. For businesses, we also coordinate after-hours moves to avoid disrupting normal operations. Whether you’re relocating an office, clinic, or retail space, we handle the logistics with care.
Safe Relocation During Property Transfers
When a property changes ownership, the safe often needs to be moved or removed. We assist homeowners, agents, and property managers by relocating or uninstalling safes before or after closing. We ensure the safe is transferred safely without structural damage to the home.
Lock Reset Options After a Safe Move
If you buy a used safe or move to a new address, we recommend you change your combination. Our technicians can reset keypads, change mechanical combinations, or install replacement locks where applicable. This gives you complete control over access and ensures your valuables remain protected.
We serve the entire Chicago area and nearby counties, including Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, and Will. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, contact us directly to confirm.

FAQs About Our Safe Moving Services in Chicago
How much does it cost to move a safe in Chicago?
The cost of safe moving services depends on several key factors, including the safe’s weight, dimensions, current and destination locations, and how easy it is to access both properties. Safes located in basements or upper floors may increase labor time. Additional considerations include staircases, narrow hallways, tile, and hardwood floor protection.
Can you move a safe from a second floor or basement?
We move safes from basements, second floors, or other difficult-to-access spaces. Our team uses stair-rated equipment, padded dollies, and lifting tools to transport safes without damaging walls, doorways, or flooring. We plan safe exit routes in advance and protect your property throughout the move.
Do you reinstall the safe at the new property?
Yes. After relocating your safe, we reinstall it at your new location. We anchor wall safes into studs and bolt floor safes into concrete or other solid surfaces. Our locksmiths test the lock mechanism, verify the door alignment, and ensure full access to the safe.
Can I move a gun safe on my own?
Moving a gun safe without the proper tools or experience is risky. Gun safes are heavy and often contain fire-rated steel and locking bolts, making them difficult to maneuver. Attempting to move one without the correct equipment can damage the safe or property and cause serious injury.
What types of properties do you work in?
Quick Key Locksmith & Security provides safe moving services in many types of properties, including single-family homes, condos, apartments, medical offices, financial institutions, and retail stores. Whether you’re relocating a home wall safe or removing a commercial-grade fireproof safe, our team adapts to each building layout.
Can you reset the lock combination or update the keypad after moving the safe?
Yes. After your safe has been moved, we offer full support for combination changes, digital keypad resets, and key lock replacements (where applicable). If you’ve acquired a used safe or moved into a new property, changing the access code or keys helps keep your valuables protected.
Do you provide safe moving service outside of Chicago?
Yes. In addition to serving Chicago and its suburbs, we provide safe moving services across many Illinois counties. Our extended service area includes DuPage County, Lake County, Cook County, Kane County, and Will County. If you are located in a nearby city or county and are unsure if we serve your area, call us directly to check availability.
