This Fort Knox under floor safe was discovered by the new owners of a commercial premise in Chorley, Lancashire. Unfortunately the previous owners hadn’t left the keys so we were asked to open it and put it back in to service. We have opened a lot of these safes and this was the second one this week. We picked the lock open and provided two new keys as requested.
We were asked to open this Fort Knox safe after a key had been forced and snapped in the lock at a private residence near Richmond in North Yorkshire. Having removed the offending key we identified that it was a five lever mortice lock key and not the correct key for this safe. With the offending key removed we picked the safe open to reveal it’s contents for the owner.
We were asked to open and supply new keys to this Fort Knox underfloor safe in Oldham, Manchester. Upon arrival we identified that the safe lock was open but the lid would not move. There are a number of things that can cause this but after further discussion with the owner we found out that the safe hadn’t been used for fifteen years. The mostly likely cause then judging by the visible rust was that it had seized up. After much persuasion we got the lid out and was able to replace the lock and put the safe back in to service.
This particular safe was supplied by Withy Grove Stores in Manchester which we often see on safes that we open and previous research showed that they were established way back in 1850 and were still trading. Quite by chance yesterday whilst returning from another opening we passed their store for the first time and saw their impressive large display of safes in the window. We must drop by and have a proper look one day.
The keys had been lost for this Chubb Commerce EDR Isolator safe at a hotel in Warrington. We picked the lock open and supplied two new keys.
This under floor safe was discovered by the builder hired by the new owners of a property in East Yorkshire. The safe had been concealed further with a layer of laminate flooring and carpet so it was obvious that it had not been used for a good number of years. We had hoped to manipulate the combination lock but the years had not been kind and the dial was too stiff to give accurate readings. With a single small hole into the lock case we were able to observe the combination wheels and open it to reveal the contents and satisfy the owners curiosity.
The electronics on this B&Q safe had failed and the owner was just using the override key until it got lost. With a plane to catch and the passports safely locked in it we were asked to attend the private residence in Manchester to get it open. Once on site we quickly picked the lock open and locked the safe open so that it couldn’t accidentally be locked shut again. The owner was in the process of moving home and believed the key would be found so did not require us to replace the lock.
Keys were lost to this Cathedral safe at a home in Liverpool. We picked the lock open so that the owners could retrieve their valuables and the spare key from inside.
The battery compartment and the connecting leads had been ripped out of the LA GARD keypad on this SMP Community safe in Preston. We were able to supply temporary power to the keypad and open the safe with the combination once the penalty time period had elapsed.
The operator failed to secure the key bit correctly to the stem when attempting to unlock this Rosengrens European Grade 5 safe at a furniture and home furnishings store in Warrington. Without the bit being correctly attached it got jammed in the lock and they could not remove it or open the safe to recover the money that they had come to collect. Using medical grade optical equipment we were able to perform key hole surgery to both identify and remedy the situation with no damage to the safe or key.
We received a very late emergency call at 10pm to open this Yale under floor safe in Crewe. The owner had lost the keys and required the cash it contained to pay for building materials at 6am the next morning. We attended and opened it up despite the time as we appreciate that problems often occur at the worst possible moment and we will always do our best to help out our customers.
