Despite having two perfectly good keys this Brittannia under floor safe would not open. We were called to this job in Chorley as the owner could not open his safe. With a lot of patience we eventually got the heavily corroded safe lock to open without having to drill the lid. With the lid cleaned up and a new lock fitted we had it back in working order for the client.

Anjiu Chinese Safe Lost Keys Safecracker Manchester
We were called to open this double locked safe after a family bereavement. An unbranded safe and the closest match we could find is from Anjiu in China. Two locks to open on the main door of a type we haven’t dealt with before but with a bit of persistance we were able to pick them both open to swing the main door. We then found a locked internal safe which we also picked open for the client.
T. Withers & Son Safe Lost Keys Staffordshire
We took a trip to Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire to open this old T. Withers double door safe. The keys had been lost a long time ago and they wanted to check the contents and to use it again. The locks on both doors were picked open and new keys made. Plenty of life left in this old safe yet.
Phoenix Firechief 1611 Broken Key
The Phoenix 1610 Series Firechief safes offer 30 minutes fire protection and are recommended for a cash risk of £2,000 or valuables risk of £20,000. This is the 1611 model which the owner had broken the only key for and called us to resolve. We picked the safe open and provided a new set of keys for the client in Preston.
Secureline Secure Data Fire Safe Lost Combination
This is a Secureline Secure Data safe, certified to NT Fire 017 120 Diskette – effective
protection for all computer media for two hours. Perfect for protecting your computer data but not so useful if you can’t remember the combination to retrieve it. We attended this job in Droylsden, Manchester as the business could not recall the combination code. Fortunately we were able to open and reset the combination to the La Gard lock without damaging or affecting the fire rating of the safe.
Dudley Safe Lost Keys Wigan
When the keys to a pub safe in Wigan got lost on Christmas Eve we were called in to save the day. The lock on the Dudley Europa safe was picked open just before the key was found in the cat litter tray. You really do need to watch out for those cat burglars!
D Mathews & Son Ltd Safecracker Burscough
A business in Burscough called us to open their safe as they had lost the key so we booked it in for 9am the next day. At 07:30 in the morning we received a call from them saying that a delivery driver had snapped a key in the gate lock overnight and they couldn’t get into their building and could we help. We were happy to oblige and headed out earlier than expected to find a queue of staff waiting to begin work. It was very frosty and cold so working on a metal gate at that time of morning wasn’t fun but we got it open for them. There was no point in returning at 9 o’clock to do the safe so we opened it for them whilst we were there and was done and dusted by 9am.
Chubb Stafford Safe – Safecracker Ormskirk
