so how did they get the safe into the room?
Not sure. My brother's arranging this and the safe is a co-worker's (their deceased relative's)...empty (other relatives got the guns, but probably didn't want to hassle with the safe due to the weight and doorway), and they are selling the house. Brother wants the safe, can get it for a few $$ but it has to be out in the next couple of weeks or it goes with the house. Some kind of narrow closet on the first floor (which is nice...no real stairs to get it out). I'm guessing the relative (dead one) must have pulled the frame themselves.
The problem with de-framing the door is that my Brother (and I) can't 'damage' anything getting it out. Which will happen if we don't know what we're doing. Well....it was a free safe anyway, so if it has to stay, the new home-owner will have to deal with it. If we can figure it out, we'll get it, if not.....
(((I've seen the pics of where it is and the measurements.....and my Brother's the one looking at getting it out, so I've tried to relay the info completely))).
