Milners Holdfast Safe Stolen Keys

Milners Holdfast Safe Stolen Keys

We were called to rekey this Milners Holdfast safe at a church in Shrewsbury, Shropshire after a set of keys were stolen. The job was a bit further afield than we regularly travel but the customer had been unable to find anybody closer who was willing or able to do the job so we were happy to help them out. We changed the lock to prevent the previous keys from working and cut a large number of extra keys to be redistributed to the autorised keyholders.

Chubb Lichfield Failed Combination Change

Chubb Lichfield Failed Combination Change

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.

Milners' Thief Resisting Door No.2

Milners’ Thief Resisting Door No.2

The previous owners of a pub in Southport hadn’t left the keys for this Milners Thief Resisting door and the new owner required it to be put back in to service.  We attended site and made new keys for the lock giving it a new lease of life.

The safe plaque reads: “Milners’ Patent Fire Resisting Thief Resisting Door No.2” and has the common “212” number which is the boiling point of water on the Farenheit scale. In smaller script it also reads “Improved for the government registry & courts 1857”.

The safe escutcheon reads: “Milner’s safe powderproof solid lock Liverpool & London”.

SLS 1000 Safe Opening

SLS 1000 Safe Opening Lancashire

The door of this SLS 1000 safe at a pub in Skelmersdale, Lancashire would not open when the correct combination had been dialled. Unfortunately a lot of brute force had been attempted prior to calling us out causing much more damage by breaking the handle and damaging the combination lock dial. Once the door was open we repaired the handle and lock and put the safe back in to service.
