Safe & vault work across Manhattan
Manhattan is where we're based — our shop is at 360 1st Avenue in Kips Bay — so this is the borough we reach fastest and know best. The housing and business stock here is unlike anywhere else: pre-war co-ops and townhouses on the Upper East and Upper West Sides, glass condo towers through Midtown and Downtown, cast-iron lofts in SoHo and Tribeca, and tenement walk-ups across the Village, the Lower East Side and Harlem. Each one changes how a safe is delivered, installed or opened.
That variety is the job. We anchor home, fire and document safes into co-ops and condos (coordinating doormen, service elevators and the occasional board approval), open inherited and estate safes in townhouses and pre-war apartments, and install and service high-security, jewelry and depository safes for the businesses that define Manhattan — the 47th Street Diamond District above all, plus Midtown offices, downtown banks and retail across the island.
Because we're in the middle of it, same-day service for booked work is straightforward and emergency response is quick. Every job is licensed and insured, openings are non-destructive wherever possible, and you get a clear, upfront quote — the no-surprises pricing our Manhattan clients mention most.

“We were desperate to get our safe open after two companies tried and failed. Sherlock replied right away and was on site immediately with no notice on a Saturday. They got the job done fast and honestly. Thank you so much.”

Emergency Safe Opening · 2025
“I was looking to move a 500lb safe and had difficulty finding a mover. I called a few companies and got a run around. When I called Ari over at Sherlocks Safes he asked for some pictures of the safe and move. Within 24hrs he gave me a price and scheduled the move in a time frame that worked for me. The two men that showed up were great. They took great care in moving the safe through very narrow passages. There was no damage, they were quick and efficient at the job. If you're looking to move a safe then Sherlocks Safes is your best bet. I highly recommend them.”

“Prompt, professional, and comprehensive! We had an evening safe situation and Ari responded almost immediately. He gave us a quote (which he stuck by) and was able to arrive the next morning at 9am. Not only did he open the safe, he made it workable again. One of the most reasonable quotes and definitely the fastest service — it is hard to find those two together. Thank you, Ari!”
