An unusually branded safe this one but it looked all too familiar. This Cock safe in a college in Bolton had been re-sited by some building contractors and they could no longer get in to it. After some initial diagnostic work with the combination lock we were able to open the safe without any damage and put it back in to service.
This Sentry OA5835 safe in Winwick would not open with the correct key and combination. The electronic lock said that the safe was open but the handle would still not push down to open the safe. We opened the safe without any damage so that the owner could withdraw their important documents prior to a house move.
This antique J Grove safe at a church in Cumbria would not open as the key could not be inserted into the lock. We quickly diagnosed and corrected the problem leaving the safe in working order.
We were asked to open this Hobbs vault door in an ex high street bank building in Birkenhead after it was taken over by the new owners. They had been using the door with twin Chubb four wheel combination locks for several weeks but were told that the locks had been disabled, this turned out not to be the case when someone turned one of the dials and the door was locked shut. We attended the job the same day and had it open without any damage in just over an hour.
This Stratford Stronghold safe at a bar in Manchester was locked and neither of the keys would open it. We were told that they had always had to jiggle the keys in the lock to get it to work. We picked the lock open and identified that the keys were so badly cut that they had caused the lockout. We provided new keys to the lock which work every time without the need to shake it about in the lock and hope that it opens. If a safe is difficult to open then always get it checked out by a safe engineer before it becomes a major problem.
This Churchill Domestic under floor safe in Sandbach, Cheshire would not open for the owners and the key was stuck in the lock. Initial diagnostics suggested that the lock was open but there was something blocking the rotation of the lid to both the open and the closed positions. We were able to rectify the situation without damaging the lid on this occasion but it’s important to never over-fill any safe. This is particularly important for this style of safe as the lock and bolt work are exposed underneath the lid so that anything touching it can block it and cause a lock out.
The new owners of a tanning salon in Wigan had not been given the keys to this locked Fort Knox under floor safe and wished to use it. We picked the safe open and were amazed to find it contained bags which appeared to be full of coins. On closer inspection they turned out to be tokens for the old tanning beds so not the great fortune that we were hoping for but it certainly added a bit of excitement to the safe opening. A new key was made by hand to the existing lock and the safe was put back in to service. The excitement must have been too much for the safe engineer who managed to leave one of his big toolboxes in the Salon and had to make a return trip to retrieve it.
The owner of this Yale YSB digital safe in Mossley, Ashton-under-Lyne, had lost the double bitted override keys and the batteries were flat. We picked the lock open so he could access the contents.
The keys had been lost to this Eagle Safes safe in Hoylake, Wirral. We opened the safe by picking the lock and made new keys for the owner.
The owners of this Phoenix 1220 Centurion Fire Safe had never used the combination lock and had only used the key as it was stored inside a much larger burglary resistant safe. They could not now open the safe with the key and initial diagnostics suggested that the dial must have been moved and scrambled the combination. We recovered the combination to unlock the safe and they now have the combination should it ever happen again.
