Arfe Safe Lost Key

Arfe Safe Lost Key

An unusual Spanish Arfe safe to open in North Wales. We were told they had no key or combination but managed to figure out the combination part from an old note they had. All that remained was to open the double throw key lock which was done by picking the lock so as not to cause any damage to the safe.

The key to this Churchill Banker under floor safe had been lost a long time ago but was still being used to store cash. All of a sudden the safe lid failed to open for the owner despite repeated hammer blows. Even knocking off the bolt control knob didn’t seem to help them so they called us. The initial photograph didn’t include the raised flooring surrounding it which meant the safe was far deeper down than was comfortable but we set to work on it. The first thing we noticed was that the lock had somehow been locked and secondly it was very loose meaning that extra security devices in the safe had likely been activated.

The first thing we did was to pick the lock open which would have been enough under normal circumstances to remove the lid but our suspicion of an activated relocker was confirmed. This was looking like a very long job and having to drill the lid in several places to release the spring loaded relockers. We got really lucky with it though and managed to get it open without any drilling or further damage than had already been caused before we arrived.

The keys to this John Port safe had been lost during building renovation work and the owner needed access to the contents. The safe originally belonged to his grandfather so had sentimental value meaning he didn’t want the safe drilling or damaged in any way. Luckily he contacted us and we were able to pick the lock open and provide a new set of keys.
