Chubb Strongroom Lost Keys – Safecracker Newton-le-Willows

We were recently called to a job in Newton-le-Willows, where a customer needed urgent access to a Chubb strongroom door after the keys had been lost. This wasn’t just any standard safe – it was a high-security, heavy-duty strongroom door designed to protect large volumes of valuable items or sensitive documents. With no keys and no spares available, many would assume the only option was to drill or destroy the lock – but that’s where our specialist skills come in.

Chubb has long been recognised as one of the most respected names in the security industry. Their strongroom doors, in particular, are engineered to an exceptionally high standard, with robust materials, complex lockwork, and meticulous attention to detail. These doors are built to withstand brute force attacks, manipulation, fire, and more – so opening one without damage is no small task. It requires not just the right tools, but the experience and finesse that only a trained safe engineer can offer.

At Paladin Safe Services, we pride ourselves on doing things the right way. Rather than rushing in with drills and grinders, we assessed the situation carefully and set to work using non-destructive lockpicking techniques. Despite the complexity and strength of the Chubb locking system, we were able to pick the lock open cleanly, leaving the door, mechanism, and locking system fully intact.

This method of entry has several important benefits:

Preserves the value of the strongroom door.
Avoids costly repairs or replacements.
Allows us to supply new keys to the original lock if needed, since the mechanism wasn’t damaged or replaced.

The customer was delighted with the result – not only had we gained access to the strongroom quickly and professionally, but we left it in perfect working order, ready for future use.

Opening a Chubb strongroom door without damage is no easy feat, and it’s a testament to the level of skill and training we bring to every job. Whether you’re dealing with a forgotten combination, lost keys, or a lock failure, you can trust Paladin Safe Services to provide a discreet, expert solution that puts preservation and professionalism first.

Chubb Safes Safecracker Southport

We were recently called to a care home in Southport where staff were unable to open a Chubb combination safe. Despite having the correct procedure, the safe’s combination lock refused to open, preventing access to important documents and items stored inside.

With the safe still in good condition, the care home team wanted a solution that wouldn’t damage the lock or the safe itself. We attended promptly and, using our expertise with mechanical combination locks, were able to open the safe non-destructively.

Once open, we reset the lock and programmed a new combination of the staff’s choosing, ensuring they could reliably access the safe going forward without relying on outdated or unknown codes.

Understanding the request, we used our specialist skills to pick open the safe’s lock non-destructively, carefully ensuring no damage was done to the locking mechanism. This approach meant that if the original keys are ever found, they will still work perfectly, allowing the customer to use the safe as originally intended.

The owner was delighted to have the safe open without needing immediate lock replacement. We also let them know that if they decide to continue using the safe and want a new set of keys in the future, we can supply them without issue.

Burton Safe Lost Keys Safecracker Halifax

We were recently called to a property in Halifax where the owners had lost the keys to their Burton safe. The safe was fitted with two independent key locks, and without either key, it was completely inaccessible. With important items inside and no way to retrieve them, the client needed a professional solution—and fast.

Upon arrival, we assessed the situation and identified the specific lock types installed on the safe. Using precise, non-destructive lockpicking techniques, we were able to successfully pick open both locks, carefully preserving the integrity of the safe throughout the process.

Once access was regained, the client wanted to continue using the safe securely, so we removed the original locks and installed two brand-new, high-security replacements. We also supplied a new set of keys, ensuring the safe was fully functional and ready for daily use.

The owner was keen to access the contents but also wanted to preserve the integrity of the safe, which held both practical and sentimental value.

Understanding the importance of maintaining the safe’s condition—especially one with such historical significance—we used precise, non-destructive lockpicking techniques to carefully open the safe without causing any damage.

With curiosity growing—and the potential for important items inside—they got in touch with us to help unlock it.

Fort Knox underfloor safes are built for security and durability, making them a popular choice for discreet home storage. However, without the key, gaining access can be a real challenge without the right skills and tools.

Dudley Safe Lost Keys Safecracker Cheshire

We were recently called back to a familiar location—a pub in Congleton, Cheshire—to open a Dudley D1 safe for the new owners. Interestingly, we had previously opened the very same safe during the last change of ownership a few years earlier. It seems the safe has stayed put through multiple transitions, but unfortunately, the keys haven’t!

With no keys passed on this time around, the new owners couldn’t access the safe and needed a swift, professional solution. Thanks to our previous experience with this specific safe, we were able to quickly and cleanly pick open the key lock without causing any damage to the cabinet.

Once the safe was open, we supplied a brand-new set of keys, ensuring the new owners had full control and access moving forward. The Dudley D1 was once again back in service—ready to securely store cash and documents for the next chapter of the pub’s operations.

It’s always nice to revisit a job site and be the trusted go-to when safes change hands. Another reliable and professional job completed by Paladin Safe Services in Congleton, Cheshire.

Fichet Safe Lost Combination Safecracker Liverpool

We were recently contacted by a new homeowner in Liverpool who had discovered a French Fichet safe in their property. The previous owner had left behind the keys, and the safe had been working perfectly with just the key—until suddenly, it wouldn’t open.

After a bit of investigation, it became clear what had happened: although the safe had a combination lock in addition to the key lock, it hadn’t been engaged previously. At some point, someone had accidentally unset or scrambled the combination dial, reactivating the lock and effectively locking the safe with no known combination.

Fichet safes are well known for their high security and complex mechanisms, which make them excellent for protecting valuables—but also a real challenge to open without the correct access details. Fortunately, we have extensive experience working with Fichet models and were able to open the safe, preserving its full functionality.

Once open, we reset the combination and returned the safe to working order, ensuring the owner could confidently use it in the future—this time, with both key and combination working as intended.
