SLS 1000 Safe Opening

SLS 1000 Safe Opening Lancashire

The door of this SLS 1000 safe at a pub in Skelmersdale, Lancashire would not open when the correct combination had been dialled. Unfortunately a lot of brute force had been attempted prior to calling us out causing much more damage by breaking the handle and damaging the combination lock dial. Once the door was open we repaired the handle and lock and put the safe back in to service.

Manifoil Mk IV Opening

Security Door Manifoil MK IV Comination Lock

When an international IT company could not open their secure comms room door at their office in Cheshire they called us for assistance. The door was locked with a Manifoil Mark IV combination lock which are secure enough to have been the UK government’s security standard for many years. We quickly identified the issue and was able to get the door open by giving instructions over the phone.

Fort Knox Underfloor Safe Opening

Fort Knox Underfloor Safe Opening

When a new publican took over a local public house in Skelmersdale, Lancashire he found a Fort Knox underfloor safe which was locked and no keys had been left for it. We were asked to open the safe and to provide new keys so that it could be used. We have opened many of these safes in the past and on first impressions we didn’t expect to have any problem picking the lock but we soon found that the mechanism had seized. We eventually got it moving again and was able to pick it open to find a rather unusual amount of carpet fibres in the lock which had been causing the issue. With new keys provided the safe was put back into service and another non-destructive safe opening was completed.

Alpha Hotel Safe Opening

Alpha Hotel Safe Opening

We were called to open this Alpha hotel safe at an international hotel chain site in Manchester. The members of staff who knew the supervisor codes had left and a guest had omitted to open the safe with his code prior to checking out.

Upon arrival there was still a guest in the room where the safe was so we were taken on a tour of other rooms where they were having difficulties, during this time we took the opportunity to work out the supervisor code and coach the staff on how to change it should they wish to do so. Once the guest had left the room with the locked safe it was a simple case of putting in the master code and it opened up straight away.

Sentry T2-330 Lost Keys

Sentry T2-330 Safe Lost Keys

We received a call to open this Sentry safe with lost keys in Denbigh, Wales. The picture shows how we found the safe with a broken electronic lock and handle. We picked the lock open but with no handle to retract the boltwork we had to deal with that a different way but the owner was upgrading to a newer safe anyway and only required it opening so no repairs were necessary.
