SMP HSSC High Security Storage Cabinet

SMP HSSC High Security Storage Cabinet

The only key had snapped in the stiff lock of this SMP cabinet used to store controlled drugs at a hospice pharmacy in Blackpool. We received the call early on a Sunday morning as patients were waking and would require their medication within a couple of hours so we headed straight out to the job arriving on site within the hour. After fishing out the broken key bit we were able to open the cabinet without damage and replaced the lock supplying them with a new set of keys.

Dudley Harlech Keys Locked In Safe

Dudley Harlech Keys Locked In Safe

This Dudley Harlech safe at a hotel in Stockport had a very handy deposit chute for dropping money in without having to unlock it. This is a great feature but once you realise that you’ve deposited both of the safe keys then it becomes a bit of a problem. Fortunately our safe engineers are good at problem solving and were able to pick the lock open without damage so that the keys could be retrieved.

Fort Knox Safe Cracker

Fort Knox Safe Cracker

Another Fort Knox underfloor safe cracked by Paladin Safe Services. The safe was found hidden under a 1980’s newspaper where presumably it had laid undisturbed until today. We picked open the lock and provided a new set of keys so that it could start to be used again. We have opened dozens of these safes but have never seen one with a red escutcheon covering the key hole. Perhaps this was a special edition of some sort.

Floorboard Underfloor Safe Opening

Floorboard Underfloor Safe Opening

This underfloor safe was discovered after living in a property in Skelmersdale for six years. With no keys available they were intrigued as to its contents and wanted to be able to use the safe. Not quite the closest safe we have opened but being in Skelmersdale made it a very local job. We picked the lock open so as not to damage the safe and replaced the lock to provide a new set of keys.
