A safe is only as secure as its installation. Mr. Locks installs floor safes, wall safes, gun safes, and fireproof office safes across New York City — properly mounted, correctly positioned, and tested before we leave.
We have been installing safes in NYC homes and businesses since 2003. We supply the hardware, handle the installation, and set up your combination or electronic lock — all in a single visit.
A freestanding safe that has not been anchored can be carried out of your apartment in minutes — the hardware inside it becomes irrelevant. Proper anchoring is what turns a safe into real security.

We install and anchor every major safe type for NYC homes, offices, and commercial properties. Not sure which safe is right for you? We will advise during the consultation.
Floor safes are the most secure option for NYC apartments and homes — concealed under flooring or a rug and anchored into the concrete or wood subfloor. We cut the opening, set and anchor the safe, and finish the surrounding area so the installation is not visible. Best for apartments, home offices, and residential buildings.
Wall safes are installed between wall studs, flush with the wall surface, and can be concealed behind artwork or a mirror. We locate the studs, cut the opening, mount and anchor the safe, and finish the surrounding drywall. Best for bedrooms, home offices, and spaces where floor space is limited.
Gun safes must be anchored to prevent theft — an unanchored gun safe is a liability, not a security measure. We anchor gun safes to floors or walls, configure the locking mechanism, and ensure the safe meets NYC safe storage requirements for firearms. See our Gun Safes page for the full range.
For businesses, law offices, medical practices, and other commercial properties storing important documents or cash, we install heavy-duty fireproof and office safes. We assess the best location for both security and fire resistance, and anchor the unit to the building structure.
A portable or unanchored safe can be removed from a NYC apartment in minutes. Anchoring is the difference between a safe that works and one that does not.
Wall and floor installations must work within NYC construction — concrete subfloors, plaster walls, and building regulations. We have done this hundreds of times.
We supply and install the safe in a single visit. No need to coordinate between a separate supplier and a separate installer.
Every installation includes a full test of the locking mechanism and a walkthrough of the combination or electronic access system before we leave.
Safe installation pricing depends on the type of safe, the installation surface (concrete vs wood), and any finishing work required. As a general guide: floor safe installation runs $150–$350; wall safe installation $100–$250; gun safe anchoring $75–$150.
Hardware is priced separately — see our safe pricing and full range, or call us for a specific quote before booking.
We can install safes purchased elsewhere. We carry our own inventory of trusted brands and can often supply and install on the same visit, but if you have already purchased a safe we will assess it during the booking call and confirm we can install your specific model.
We provide safe opening services for combination-locked and electronic safes. See our Safe Opening NYC page for details.
Yes — most safe installations in NYC apartments are non-destructive to building structure and do not require landlord permission beyond standard lease terms. Floor safes require cutting into flooring and may need lease review first. We advise on this during the booking call.
