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.
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.

We were called to this NoveTek digital deposit safe at a shop in Manchester as the owner could not get it to open. It’s not a brand we have come across before and appears to be of Italian origin, despite not being familiar with it we got it opened and working again for them.
The owners of this Fort Knox under floor safe had been aware of it since they moved into the property many years ago but had only just decided to get it opened. We attended the job in Rochdale, Greater Manchester and picked the lock open for them revealing that it contained a small sum of money. We have opened many of these Fort Knox safes but this is the first one we have seen with “Russell Hare Ltd 159 Islington Liverpool” on the escutcheon. The best we can tell is that this company sold typewriters and must have had a sideline selling safes which they had their name added to.
The staff at a Liverpool city centre store had attempted to change the combination on this Chubb Lichfield safe and could no longer open the door. The safe was fitted with a La Gard digital lock which would not open with the new or old code and having tried various permutations we had to drill into the lock to get it open. With the small hole repaired the lock was replaced and the safe put back in to service.
The owner had the key but didn’t know the combination to this Eagle safe. We attended the self storage facility in Warrington where the safe was stored and determined the combination to open it up for him.
The detachable key bit for this Chubb Vanguard Safe at a bar in Manchester had fallen out in the keyway and they were unable to open the safe. When we arrived to the job and looked down the keyway the key bit was nowhere to be seen until we looked harder and could see that it had somehow managed to fall down in to the bottom of the door. With it being the only key on site we had to pick the lock open to retrieve it.
We were called to open this room safe by a Lancashire hotel whose guest had locked their valuables inside and couldn’t retrieve them. The electronic code would not open the door and when the staff tried to open it the master key became stuck and wouldn’t open the safe or come out. We attended the hotel and had the safe open within an hour of the call which isn’t bad for a Saturday afternoon.
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.
