Chubb TDR Safe Key Broken In Lock

Chubb TDR Safe Key Broken In Lock

We were called to open this Chubb TDR safe for a client in Ormskirk, the story was that the key had been stuck but they had managed to get it out. Once on site we found a broken key stem and no key bit so we proceeded to open the safe none destructively. Once open we found the key bit inside the back pan. Nice to see a quality safe from the days when engineering was all about quality and not price.

B&Q Safe Broken Key

B&Q Safe Broken Key

Emergency call out today to a pharmacy in Liverpool as they could not open this B&Q safe. There was only one key available to the safe which upon inspection had a broken key bit which was the cause of the issue. We opened the door none destructively only to have the door nearly fall on us as the top hinge had broken. You can see the drag marks at the bottom of the door showing that this has been like this for quite some time. Given the low value of the safe we advised that it was beyond economical repair and a replacement should be purchased.
