Digital Home Safe Lost Key

The owner of this Digital home safe in Ormskirk, Lancashire could not open his safe. The last time it was opened it seemed that the batteries were flat so he changed them and locked it up again. Unfortunately the digital lock would no longer open the safe and the key had been lost. We arrived on site twenty minutes after receiving the call and had it open within a couple of minutes. We tested the batteries which all showed to have sufficient power and had to advise that it was beyond economical repair due to the low cost of a new unit and the lack of availability of spare parts.

Charvat Neutron Star Safe Opening

The owner of a nightclub in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire could not get his safe open to access the float required to open for business this evening. We attended on very short notice and opened the Charvat Neutron Star safe without damage and returned it to service. If you are out having a good time in Newcastle-under-Lyme this evening then you may well have a safe engineer to thank, stay safe and enjoy.

Dudley Compact 5000 Safe Opening

The staff at a shop in Ellesmere Port could not open their Dudley safe and the keypad to the La Gard AuditGard lock was dangling freely off the safe. We opened the failed lock and replaced it.

Securikey Safeguard Under Floor Safe Lost Keys

The keys had been lost to this Securikey Safeguard under floor safe in Ramsbottom. We attended the job the same evening as the call came in as it urgently required opening. Having picked the lock open we rekeyed it to provide a new set of keys.

Sentry F2300 Waterproof Fire Chest Lost Keys

The keys had been lost to this Sentry F2300 Waterproof Fire Chest in Ashton-in-Makerfield. We attended the private residence and opened it without damage so that the owners could retrieve their documents.

Epic Challenger Safe Opening

We were called to open this Epic Challenger safe at a Gym in Manchester for a second time this year. This time the Kaba Mas Auditcon lock was failing to open with the known combination. Once again we opened it up for them and put the safe back into service.

Crado Hideaway Under Floor Safe Opening

The Crado Hideaway is a rather unique under floor safe which has three separate dials which can be independently set to a number ranging from zero to nineteen. Each dial must be set correctly in order to retract the boltwork and allow the lid to be opened. The safe was made by Crado Devices Limited which were a London based company incorporated in 1975 but who unfortunately went into liquidation in 1981.

Although we were aware of this safe we haven’t to date been tasked with opening one so when this unit came up for sale we just had to have it out of professional curiosity. Safe engineers are a rather strange breed, we just love to tinker and see how things work so when this arrived in the workshop we were all over it like kids at Christmas. It didn’t take us long to set a random combination and open it using existing knowledge and techniques but it was still a great pleasure to finally see exactly how they work and to ultimately be able to use that knowledge to open them non-destructively.

So if you have a Crado Hideaway safe that you require opening then please do get in touch as it would be a pleasure to be able to open it for you.

Yale Digital Safe Flat Batteries

The batteries had run out of power on this Yale digital safe at a home in Prescot, Liverpool. The keys were also with a family member who was out of the country so they had no way of opening it. We attended and opened it for them without causing any damage so that the batteries could be changed and the key would still work when it was available again.

Brattonsound Gun Cabinet Lost Combination

After an unfortunate hospitalisation of several years the owner of this Brattonsound gun safe could no longer remember the combination to open it. With a firearms inspection due it needed opening urgently so we headed to the home in Bolton to open it up for him. It is unusual to find these with mechanical combination locks but we got it open without any damage as we would have done with the key locking versions.

Chubb Leamington Disconnected Bolt

We were called to this Chubb Leamington safe at a college in Ashton-under-Lyne as the door would not open despite the handle being in the open position. The problem we discovered was that one of the opening edge bolts had disconnected from the boltwork and therefore could not be retracted by the handle. We dealt with the problem to open the door and repaired the bolt so that the safe could be used again.
