Safe Opening

If you can’t access your home or business safe, it can be stressful – especially when important documents, cash, jewellery, or digital media are locked inside. Our safe opening service is designed to give you fast, discreet, and professional access with minimal damage to the safe wherever possible.

We work with a wide range of domestic and commercial safes, including key-operated, digital keypad, combination, and biometric models. Whether you’ve lost the key or code, the lock has failed, or the safe has been damaged, our locksmiths use specialist tools and techniques to get it open.

Common safe issues we help with:

• 🔑 Lost safe keys or broken key inside the lock
• 🔢 Forgotten or locked-out digital / mechanical combination codes
• ⚙️ Jammed bolt work or failed locking mechanism
• 🔋 Flat batteries on digital safes with no override key available
• 🧱 Safes that have been moved, dropped, or tampered with

Here’s how our safe opening process typically works:

1. 🔍 Safe Identification: We assess the safe type, make, model, and locking system to choose the safest and least intrusive opening method.
2. 🧰 Non-Destructive Techniques First: Where possible, we use manipulation, decoding, and specialist safe-opening tools to avoid drilling or permanent damage.
3. 🛠️ Controlled Entry: If drilling is required, we use precise drilling patterns and scopes to target the mechanism, keeping damage to an absolute minimum.
4. ♻️ Repair & Re-secure: Once open, we can often repair and re-lock the safe, or advise on replacing the lock or the unit if it’s beyond economic repair.
5. ✅ Security Check & Advice: We make sure the safe closes and locks correctly (where repairable) and advise on better access and security going forward.
