We were called by a Solicitors firm in Manchester who required this Churchill Treasurechest safety deposit box opening as part of a deceased estate. The family were unable to find the key so the bank had released the box to be opened at their leisure. Other companies had advised that the box would need to be destroyed in order to get the contents out, we were a bit more subtle and picked the lock open causing no damage whatsoever.
No rest for the confectionery egg filled engineers on Easter Monday with a 7am cocoa induced coma wake up call to open this Epic safe at a Gym in Manchester. Safe opened and put back into service within a couple of hours of receiving the call.
The combination lock on this Rosengrens RS3 safe could not be dialled open by the owner. We had worked on this safe in the past so knew that the four wheel Sargent and Greenleaf lock had seen better days and it was previously advised to get this replaced. Fortunately with a bit of luck and a lot of experience we diagnosed the problem and were able to correct it to get the door open one final time without having to drill it. The owner agreed to a replacement lock which we fitted and put the safe back into service.
Despite having two keys the owner could not gain access to her Securikey Premier safe at her home in Knutsford, Cheshire. We attended her home and opened it nondestructively.
This Samuel Withers Safe at a home in Winstanley, Wigan hadn’t been opened for at least 40 years. It was inside the house when they moved there in the 70’s and potentially hadn’t been opened for a good while before that. Quite rightly the owner now realised that it was a safety risk to have a locked safe without a means to open it under duress and was also curious as to its contents.
We were not the first company to be called to this job, the previous engineer advised that the lock was seized and that the safe would need to be drilled open. After a disagreement with them the owner contacted us and we went to perform the opening. The exterior of the safe looked quite rusty from the pictures but surprisingly the interior of the lock looked remarkably clean when inspected with our optical equipment which is small enough to fit through the narrowest of key ways and give us a clear view of the inner workings. With a suitable pick selected we noted that the lock was responding well to the picking process and proceeded to pick it open in a short period of time.
With the lock open we faced the next hurdle of getting the locking boltwork to retract by turning the handle which was stiff but without too much of a fight we got the handle to move to unlock the door. The final hurdle was to get the door to open which was the hardest part of the job, with some lubrication and some gentle persuasion however we got it to swing.
The owner found some interesting old paperwork inside and we were happy to have performed another non-destructive opening as we always endeavour to do.
The keys to this Dudley Harlech safe were stolen during a robbery at a house in Didsbury, Manchester. We opened the safe without damage, changed the lock and provided new keys.
The combination had been lost to this Chatwood-Milner Duplextra Mk2 safe at a residence in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. The combination lock had been left in the open position for many years and the safe operated with just the key so when somebody accidentally knocked the combination dial they were unable to open the safe. We attended site and manipulated the combination lock to discover the combination and opened the safe without any damage.
The keys had been lost to this Milners 212 fire resisting safe at a home in Stafford. We attended site, opened it and made new keys so that it could be used again.
The owners at an industrial unit in Manchester had recently acquired this old safe without keys and wanted to use it to store their things. We picked the outer door open and found a key for it inside which saved us having to make one. We also found the internal drawer was locked so we picked that open too so they had full access to the safe.
It was house moving day for a family in Burscough, Lancashire when they realised they had packed the safe key somewhere in the shipping container and needed to retrieve the contents of their Fort Knox Standard under floor safe. After a 7:20am wake up call we arrived and had it picked open by 8am. We don’t just advertise a 24 hour service, we genuinely offer it so if you have a lock problem anytime day or night then give us a call.
