⏱ Queens is large, so ETAs vary by neighborhood: same-day for booked work and fast for emergencies from our Manhattan base via the Queensboro Bridge or Midtown Tunnel — we'll give you an honest time when you call.
Safe & vault work across Queens
Queens is the most varied borough we serve, and the safe work varies with it. In the dense western and central neighborhoods — Astoria, Jackson Heights, Flushing, Elmhurst — it's apartment and co-op home safes and a heavy load of business and cash safes for some of the busiest commercial districts in the city. Out east and south — Bayside, Whitestone, Little Neck, Howard Beach and the southeast Queens neighborhoods — it's single-family homes with driveways, where larger home and gun safes go into basements and garages.
Downtown Flushing deserves its own mention: its enormous Asian commercial district, with jewelers, banks and cash businesses, gives us high-security and jewelry-safe work on a par with Manhattan's Diamond District. And the Rockaway peninsula brings beachfront homes and flood-aware installs of their own.
We come into Queens from our Manhattan base over the Queensboro Bridge or through the Midtown Tunnel and along the LIE, BQE and Grand Central. That means same-day service for booked work and a fast emergency response, with an honest ETA depending on which end of this large borough you're in. Every job is licensed, insured, non-destructive where possible, and quoted up front.

“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!”
