Chubb Europa Keys Stuck In Locks
A bar in Liverpool One had used the wrong keys in each lock of this Chubb Europa safe and having tried to force the locks open the keys had become mangled and snapped off deep inside the locks. Two companies had already attended the job prior to them calling us and despite charging for their time they had only managed to add to the problem by filling the keyway with blu-tack (The mind boggles). After a lengthy battle we were able to remove all of the broken bits of keys and proceeded to pick the locks open as no spares were available. Having opened the safe with zero damage to it we changed the locks and provided new sets of keys.

A Fort Knox ‘Square door’ under floor safe opened for a customer in Liverpool after the safe keys had been lost. We routinely open the round door versions but don’t see many of these rectangular lids, nice to see something different for a change.
High Security Door Opening
This high security door had stopped opening with the known combination to the Chubb Manifoil MK IV combination lock. We were able to open the lock nondestructively utilising dialling diagnostics and knowledge of the lock operation.
Chubb Wall Safes Lost Keys
The keys had been lost to these pair of Chubb wall safes used for collecting at a Liverpool church. I’m guessing they hadn’t been opened for a while as the coins started pouring out of them once we’d picked them open and I thought it was never going to stop.
Chubb Omega Deposit Safe Lost Keys
We were called to a bar in the trendy Northern Quarter neighbourhood of Manchester when the key was lost to this Chubb Omega Deposit Safe. The bar required the change it contained for the tills so we agreed to go straight away and was expecting to be there within the hour but on this occasion the traffic was against us and it was nearly two hours before we arrived on site. At least it didn’t take us long to pick the safe open so that business could return to normal.
