Rosengrens the European Grade 5

The operator failed to secure the key bit correctly to the stem when attempting to unlock this Rosengrens European Grade 5 safe at a furniture and home furnishings store in Warrington. Without the bit being correctly attached it got jammed in the lock and they could not remove it or open the safe to recover the money that they had come to collect. Using medical grade optical equipment we were able to perform key hole surgery to both identify and remedy the situation with no damage to the safe or key.

Yale Under Floor Safe Lost Keys

We received a very late emergency call at 10pm to open this Yale under floor safe in Crewe. The owner had lost the keys and required the cash it contained to pay for building materials at 6am the next morning. We attended and opened it up despite the time as we appreciate that problems often occur at the worst possible moment and we will always do our best to help out our customers.

Cock Safe FPS Made In China

The owner of this Cock safe in Bramhall had never used the combination lock and relied solely on the key to operate it. The safe would no longer open even with the correct combination entered by the owner or us.

Another company had advised that it would need to be drilled open but fortunately they then phoned us. Knowing how these locks operate enables us to account for any possible problems within the lock and still dial it open without having to breach the container.

Another successful safe opening for Paladin and another very satisfied customer.

Ministry Cabinet Mark IV Manifoil

The combination to a Manifoil Mark 4 combination lock on a ministry cabinet in North Wales had been lost. We were asked to open the unit as they were disposing of it and needed it emptied prior to it being let off site. Due to the nature of the facility we were not allowed to take photographs and had to be escorted at all times but we got the job done.

Leigh Safes Essex

We had an urgent call from a B&B in the Lake District near Ambleside to gain access to this Leigh Safes Essex safe as none of the keys they had would open it. We attended site, quickly diagnosed the issue and opened the safe for them.

Churchill Trident Safe Lost Keys

The keys to this Churchill Trident under floor safe in St. Helens had been lost and the owner needed to get his passport out of it. We dutifully attended site at the agreed time and opened it.

Fort Knox Safe Lost Keys

The keys to this Fort Knox under floor safe in St. Helens had been lost and the contents needed to be recovered. We picked the safe open as we have done with many of these, rekeyed the lock and provided two new keys.

Withy Grove Stores Safe Opening

The key to this Withy Grove Stores safe at a home in Poynton had been put somewhere safe along with another couple of bunches of keys which were hoped to be locked in the safe. Once opened the other keys were indeed found inside which saved the owner hundreds of pounds in car key programming and other lock changes.

Grade 3 Chubb Safe Broken Key

The only key had been dropped and broken for this Grade 3 Chubb safe at a pawnbrokers in Liverpool. What should have been an easy opening turned out to be a bit more troublesome than we had expected. In the end we had to resort to picking the 11 lever lock open before we could re-key it and put it back in to service.

Fort Knox Under Floor Safe Stolen Keys

We were called last night after a break in at a property in Formby in which the keys to this Fort Knox safe had been stolen. Unfortunately during the robbery the keys to another safe had also been found and the contents taken but they had been unable to locate this safe which was well concealed. We picked the safe lock open so that they could retrieve the contents to prevent the thieves from being able to return and use the stolen keys. Due to family circumstances the safe was no longer required and so we were able to keep the safe lid for refurbishing. This is always welcome as these locks are no longer in production and are very difficult to source.
