Secure Safes Coventry Safe Cracking

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.

Dreadnought E Series II

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.

Dudley Europa Grade 0 Broken Handle

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.
