Why You Might Need a Safe Lock Specialist

Dealing with a locked safe requires highly specialised knowledge and tools. Unlike standard door locks, safes are designed to resist forced entry, making DIY attempts not only futile but potentially damaging to the safe and its contents.

Lost Combination or Key

This is the most common reason clients call us. Whether you’ve forgotten the digital code, misplaced the physical key, or inherited a safe without its access details, we have the expertise to regain entry without causing damage to the safe’s structure.

Mechanical or Electronic Failure

Safe locks, like any precision mechanism, can suffer from wear and tear, internal component failure, or electronic glitches. A dial that won’t turn, a keypad that’s unresponsive, or a bolt that’s jammed can all prevent access. Our technicians are skilled in diagnosing these complex issues.

Damaged Safe or Lock

If your safe has been tampered with, subjected to a break-in attempt, or has suffered impact damage, the lock mechanism can be compromised, preventing legitimate access. We can assess the damage and provide solutions for repair or replacement.

Changing Access After Ownership Change

When a business changes hands, or a property with an existing safe is sold, changing the safe’s combination or lock is crucial for security. This ensures that previous owners or employees no longer have access.

Our Comprehensive Safe Lock Services

Our range of safe services is designed to meet all your needs, from emergency access to long-term security solutions.

Non-Destructive Safe Opening

Our primary goal is always to open your safe without causing any damage to its integrity. We employ advanced techniques such as manipulation (listening to the tumblers), scope access (using a borescope to view internal components), and precise drilling (a last resort, done with minimal impact and repairable afterwards). Our methods aim to preserve the safe, allowing it to be used again.

Safe Lock Repair

If your safe lock is faulty but not severely damaged, we can often carry out expert repairs. This includes fixing sticky dials, repairing or replacing worn tumblers, addressing issues with digital keypads, and resolving problems with the boltwork mechanism. We stock a range of common safe lock parts to ensure efficient service.

Safe Lock Change and Combination Reset

For security reasons, especially after a lost key, a change in ownership, or if you simply want a new combination, we offer safe lock changes and combination resets. We can install a brand new lock, re-key existing mechanical locks, or reprogram digital keypads with a new, secure combination, ensuring only authorised individuals have access.

Supply and Installation of New Safes

If you don’t yet have a safe, or if your current safe no longer meets your security needs or insurance requirements, we can assist with the supply and professional installation of new safes. We offer a range of domestic and commercial safes, including fireproof, data, and cash safes, from leading manufacturers. We’ll help you choose the right rating (e.g., cash rating, fire rating) and securely bolt it down if necessary.

Key Duplication for Safes

For safes that operate with a physical key, we offer precise key duplication services. It’s always advisable to have a spare key securely stored in a separate location to prevent lockouts. We can cut new keys to code or by impression, ensuring perfect functionality.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our services? You’ll find answers here.

Absolutely. For security reasons, it's highly recommended to change a safe's combination or lock, especially if you've recently acquired the safe, lost a key, or had a staff change. We can easily reset digital combinations, re-key mechanical locks, or install a completely new, secure lock mechanism, ensuring only authorised individuals have access to your valuables.

The time required to open a locked safe varies significantly depending on the safe's type, security rating, the reason for the lockout (e.g., lost key vs. mechanical failure), and whether it's a destructive or non-destructive entry. Simple key issues might be quick, while complex manipulation of a high-security safe could take several hours of skilled work. We can provide a more accurate estimate once we assess the situation on-site.
