About the service
Professional Safe Installation in Hollywood
A safe sitting loose in a closet is a safe a thief carries to the curb. That is the whole problem we solve in Hollywood: a 200-pound box still walks out the door in under two minutes if it is not bolted to something. We get calls from people in the old apartment buildings off Franklin and the hillside houses up toward the 90068 line, and the answer is almost always the same first question, what is under the safe.
The neighborhood is split between two worlds. A 1920s building in Whitley Heights or near Little Armenia likely has wood subfloor over joists. A newer mid-rise or a ground-floor shop on the boulevard usually sits on a concrete slab. Each one anchors differently, and getting that wrong is how a safe ends up either useless or cracking a tile floor.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Hollywood
When we show up, the first ten minutes are spent figuring out the floor, not the safe. We check whether you are over slab or over joists, where the studs run if it is a wall safe, and whether you rent or own, because that changes the hardware we use. A landlord in a Thai Town fourplex may not love four wedge anchors through their concrete, so we talk through renter-friendly options before drilling anything.
For a concrete floor we drill into the slab and set sleeve or wedge anchors through the factory holes in the safe base. Over a wood floor we run lag bolts into the joists, not just the subfloor, which means locating them first. Wall safes go between studs, flush and patchable later. A standard floor anchor runs under an hour. We bring the safe in, set it, level it, and you keep the only keys and the combination.

Common questions
FAQ
Do you bolt it to the floor, or just set it in place?
We bolt it. A freestanding safe under roughly 750 pounds is a grab-and-go target, and even heavier gun safes tip and walk surprisingly easily. We anchor through the holes the manufacturer already cast into the base, into whatever structure is under you. Setting a safe down without anchoring it is the one thing we will not do.
My building is concrete, the one next door is wood floors. Does that change the install?
Completely. Hollywood is a real mix, slab-on-grade in newer mid-rises and ground-floor storefronts, wood joists in the older Whitley Heights and Franklin-area buildings. Concrete takes wedge or sleeve anchors. Wood needs lag bolts driven into the joists themselves, so we locate those first instead of trusting the subfloor.
Can you move a heavy safe into a hillside unit with stairs?
Usually, but tell us up front. A lot of homes above the 101 toward 90068 have exterior stairs, tight landings, or street parking far from the door. We bring a stair-capable dolly and straps for most residential safes. For anything past a few hundred pounds or a long carry, we will scope it on the phone so nobody is surprised at the door.
I rent near Little Armenia. Can you anchor a safe without wrecking the floor?
Yes. For renters we lean toward options your landlord will accept, smaller-diameter anchors in concrete that patch cleanly, or a heavy floor safe whose weight does most of the work. We can also wall-mount a smaller unit between studs so the only marks are a patchable cutout. We will walk through what your lease allows before drilling.
