What this covers

Safes come to us in a handful of familiar states: the combination was lost with the person who set it, the electronic keypad has gone dead or erratic, the dial turns but nothing happens, or the door opens but will not relock. We open them, diagnose the lock, and repair or replace it. Where possible we manipulate or drill to a scope point and repair the hole properly afterward, so the safe keeps its rating and its resale value.

We also change combinations, retrofit mechanical dials to electronic locks when a family or a business needs several users, and service safe locks on a schedule for commercial customers.

  • Safe opening and lockouts

What to expect

No surprises when we pull up.

We ask about the safe, not just the problemMake, model, size, and whether it is a dial or a keypad. A photo of the door and the label helps.
We verify ownershipFor any safe opening, we confirm the safe is yours before we touch it. Estate and inherited safes need documentation.
We open the least invasive way that worksManipulation or a scope hole in a known location, not a cutting torch. Drill points are repaired to keep the rating.
We leave it workingNew combination set with you present, and written instructions on how to change it yourself.

What it costs

Safe openings are quoted on the phone as a range, then confirmed once we see the safe. The variables:

Type and ratingA home fire safe, a gun safe, and a TL-rated commercial safe are three different jobs.
Lock typeMechanical dial, electronic keypad, or a redundant lock each open differently.
Whether it must be drilledManipulation costs less than drilling. Drilling includes repairing the hole and the hard plate.

Ranges are quoted on the phone before we come out. Cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express.

Safes & Vaults questions

I inherited a safe and nobody knows the combination.

Common call. Bring or show ownership documentation and we will open it and set a combination you choose.

Will you have to drill it?

Not always. We try manipulation first. If drilling is required, we drill a known scope point and repair it.

My electronic keypad is dead.

Start with fresh batteries in the right orientation. If it still will not respond, the lock body or the wiring is at fault and we can replace it.

Can you convert my dial to a keypad?

Yes. Electronic retrofit is routine and useful when several people need access.

Ready when you are
