Churchill Safe Opening Attempted Burglary

Churchill Safe Opening Attempted Burglary

Here is a perfect example of a quality safe doing what it is supposed to do. Thieves had pounded on this Churchill safe lid with sledges, tried to dig it out and even attempted to cut through it with a disc cutter with no luck. All they had managed to do was make it more difficult for us to open when we were called to this job at a petrol station in Ormskirk.

The owners keys would no longer open the lock and the bashed lid without a handle was going to be a bit more difficult to open than a simple lost key job. Despite the extra work, we were able to get the lid off to find the contents still safely inside.

Given the extent of the damage we advised a replacement safe was required in this instance but it had more than paid for itself keeping the bad guys out.

We were asked to open this Chatwood-Milner safe at a residence in Cheshire. The safe had not been opened for about twenty years and had been left outside for a number of years during refurbishment. With the odds against us we still managed to get it open and back into service non-destructively.
