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.

It's a shame it can't be used. A machinist I used to know kept all his
expensive tooling such as gear shaping cutters, hobs, and broaches in a
similar fire safe so in the event of a fire they wouldn't be damaged. An
old boss of mine kept some company hard drives in a fire safe but he
didn't know the difference between a fire safe and a data safe, a fire
safe is good for paper material but a data safe has to keep the digital
media at a much lower maximum temperature, IIRC below 40C for at least
an hour.
