If I saw a locked safe with the hinges removed I would assume there
might be something of value inside. I would know that unlocking it was
dangerous because the very heavy unlocked door will fall out of the
safe. Take care!

Good point. Look at this pictu

you will see that hinges are cut off on one side only. It is a bit
safer, the door with the lock will not fall.

It was a safe in their workshop, not the office, so I am hoping that
it may hold some expensive consumables like sewing needles or some
such. (it was a clothes sewing company)

We all know, of course, that cutting hinges off any half decent
fireproof safe will not open the doors.
