The owner could not open this Fort Knox underfloor safe at a motor parts shop in Leigh, Greater Manchester despite having two keys for it. The safe hadn’t been opened for a number of years and a look inside the lock with our specialised optical equipment showed that it was full of rust. It took a while but eventually we got it open to find it was full of water so hardly surprising that the lock had seized after being submerged for so long.
This is the second time that we’ve been to open this antique safe at a pub in Manchester. The first time the owner had broken the handle off trying to force his safe open with a hammer and was going to get a friend to make him a new handle after we had opened it. This hadn’t happened so when the safe became difficult to open after redecorating the room we were called to open it and once again we did so without any further damage. We have agreed to help source a replacement handle to make it easier to use in the future.
This Dudley D2 safe at a National Gym chain in Bromborough, Wirral was looking a bit sorry for itself. The hinge pins were missing and the keys had been lost. We replaced the hinge pins, swapped the lock and cut extra keys so that they could reuse the safe which had been out of service for a number of years.
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.
The staff at a pawnbrokers in Liverpool could not open this Chubb Sovereign safe as the electronic lock was not responding to the code entered. We attended site and had the safe open within a couple of minutes.
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.

The lock had failed on this Bristol Maid medicine cabinet at a care facility in Burscough, Lancashire. We were asked to attend to remedy the problem which we duly did by changing the lock and supplying new keys.
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.
