Secure Safes Coventry Safe Cracking
This Secure Safes Coventry under floor safe was found whilst renovating a property in St Helens, Merseyside. Given the condition of it from the picture we had received we thought this may have been a tricky one. The handle was missing and the lid was largely covered in rubble and dust which are not good for safe locks. We started by vaccuuming around the lid to clean it and prevent any further stones from getting into the lock and causing us problems. Looking at the lock with our optical tools showed that several larger stones had fallen inside and were going to cause issues so we had to deal with those prior to attempting to pick it. Once they were out of the way we found the lock to be very gritty and needed a bit of lubrication in order to get it moving and to finally allow us to pick it open.
Chubb Eurosafe Grade 2 Keys Not Working
We were called to this Chubb Eurosafe at a pub in Bootle, Merseyside as they could not get it open despite having the key. They had been struggling to lock and unlock it for some time and today it had completely jammed up. After a good fight we got it open one last time and decided that the lock was long overdue retirement so we changed it for a newer model.
Dreadnought E Series II Safe Opening
This Dreadnought E Series II Safe was found by the new owners of a home in Preston and was initially thought to be a sewer pipe. We would normally pick the locks open on these but initial signs were not good, the handle was missing and we could see water in the keyhole which could only mean that the safe lid was sitting in water and probably had been for a number of years. With everything seized we had no option but to drill this one open and unsurprisingly found the entire safe to be filled with water.
Electronic Digital Safe Flat Batteries
Flat batteries on this safe in St Helens meant that the owner could not gain access to a room in the house as the key was locked inside the safe. We attended and had the safe open within thirty minutes of receiving the call. If you need a safe locksmith urgently then give us a call.
Dudley Europa Grade 0 Broken Handle
The handle on this Dudley Europa grade 0 safe had been broken off during a robbery at a hotel near Kirkham in Lancashire. Their local locksmith was called to help but knowing that a safe engineer was needed for the job he called us to get it open. Despite them having the key for the safe it will not open without a turn of the handle which was now laying on the floor. Once we were given the go ahead to open it from the crime scene investigation team we were able to open it around them whilst they continued collecting evidence. It wasn’t known for sure until we got it open but they were relieved to find the contents of the safe were still safely inside.
Securikey Under Floor Safe No Keys
The new owners of a home in Goostrey, Cheshire found this locked Securikey under floor safe and wanted to put it to use. We picked it open and fitted a replacement lock with a new set of keys.
Dudley Safe Opening Stolen Keys
We were called to open this Grade 1 Dudley safe at a shop in Manchester after the keys had been stolen in a robbery. The lock was picked open and replaced providing them with a new set of keys.
The advantage of picking the lock rather than drilling is that there is no mess to clean up, no repairs required and the safes integrity is not compromised. If you need a professional safe locksmith in Manchester or anywhere else in the North West of England then please get in touch.
Chubb Internal Coffer Opening
The staff at a store in Liverpool were unable to open this internal coffer of a grade 3 safe as the La Gard keypad had detached from the safe. We were able to open the coffer nondestructively and replaced the keypad.
Rosengrens Euro Citizen Safe Lost Keys
A pub and restaurant in Halifax had lost the keys to their Rosengrens Euro Citizen Safe. They urgently needed to check the contents and retrieve coins for the tills so we headed to the job on a Sunday for them. Once open they were relieved that all of the contents were still present and we’re able to restock their tills with change.
