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.

T Withers and Sons Lost Keys

T Withers and Sons Lost Keys

The Sandwell Security safe by T. Withers & Sons Ltd West Bromwich, in very good condition but the keys had been lost. We attended this job in Poulton-le-Fylde and picked open both the main door and the internal drawer locks.

T. Withers & Sons Ltd were established in 1856 and were makers to His Majesty’s Post Office and leading banks of Great Britain.

Chubb Europa Keys Stuck In Locks

Chubb Europa Keys Stuck In Locks

A bar in Liverpool One had used the wrong keys in each lock of this Chubb Europa safe and having tried to force the locks open the keys had become mangled and snapped off deep inside the locks. Two companies had already attended the job prior to them calling us and despite charging for their time they had only managed to add to the problem by filling the keyway with blu-tack (The mind boggles). After a lengthy battle we were able to remove all of the broken bits of keys and proceeded to pick the locks open as no spares were available. Having opened the safe with zero damage to it we changed the locks and provided new sets of keys.
