Churchill Banker Under Floor Safecracker

Churchill Banker Under Floor Safecracker

The key to this Churchill Banker under floor safe had been lost a long time ago but was still being used to store cash. All of a sudden the safe lid failed to open for the owner despite repeated hammer blows. Even knocking off the bolt control knob didn’t seem to help them so they called us. The initial photograph didn’t include the raised flooring surrounding it which meant the safe was far deeper down than was comfortable but we set to work on it. The first thing we noticed was that the lock had somehow been locked and secondly it was very loose meaning that extra security devices in the safe had likely been activated.

The first thing we did was to pick the lock open which would have been enough under normal circumstances to remove the lid but our suspicion of an activated relocker was confirmed. This was looking like a very long job and having to drill the lid in several places to release the spring loaded relockers. We got really lucky with it though and managed to get it open without any drilling or further damage than had already been caused before we arrived.

The keys to this John Port safe had been lost during building renovation work and the owner needed access to the contents. The safe originally belonged to his grandfather so had sentimental value meaning he didn’t want the safe drilling or damaged in any way. Luckily he contacted us and we were able to pick the lock open and provide a new set of keys.

Cathedral Safe Safecracker Manchester

A bit of a mess this one. The battery compartment had been broken some time ago so the batteries had been taped in place. The batteries had come loose which meant the code would no longer open the safe. The owner didn’t have the key to the override lock so couldn’t open it despite attempts at breaking the keypad off. We attended the job in Manchester and picked open the key lock to gain access to the safe, it was too late to save the safe but the owner already had plans to replace it.

Phoenix Hotel Safe Safecracker Chorley

Phoenix Hotel Safe Safecracker Chorley

Safecracking in Chorley when a museum gift shop couldn’t open their Phoenix safe. The opening code is set each time you lock these hotel safes and the last person to set it must have made a mistake. With nobody knowing what code was set we were called to sort it out. The safe was opened without damage allowing them to continue using it although it was advised that this was probably not the best style or security rating for their purposes.
