It's a Elite Stack On 36 gun safe. Trying to decide if I should leave in the living room or move it down to the basement. I started to see if I could take the door off as it would make life a lot easier getting it down the stairs. I removed the allen screw from the bottom of the hinges, then tried tapping the pin out from the top. The pin will only drop some because it stops on threads that held the allen screw in. Tried lifting the door with the pins pushed down as far as they would go but doesn't seem like it's going anywhere. Any ideas?

Leave it in place and get more friends to help you move it.

Already have done that twice. Taking door off would remove half the weight. I think just a buddy and I could handle gettng it down my steep basement stairs that way.

To remove one of mine, I used a flat floor jack and put it at the corner near the lowest pin and raised it right up. Worked like a charm and I was about to give up trying to lift it off by hand.
Not sure about your specific safe though.

Thanks rdblan2, gave it another shot and it came right off, the pins just float inside the hinges. I thought about doing that a first but when I tired pulling hard by hand it would start to tip. I was worried that jack would tip it over, but once it started to lift the door came right off.
