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.
No rest for the confectionery egg filled engineers on Easter Monday with a 7am cocoa induced coma wake up call to open this Epic safe at a Gym in Manchester. Safe opened and put back into service within a couple of hours of receiving the call.
When a restaurant in Warrington needed keys for their safe they called us to sort it out. We gave the lock a good service and cut new keys by hand so they could continue using this old Milners safe.
The combination lock on this Rosengrens RS3 safe could not be dialled open by the owner. We had worked on this safe in the past so knew that the four wheel Sargent and Greenleaf lock had seen better days and it was previously advised to get this replaced. Fortunately with a bit of luck and a lot of experience we diagnosed the problem and were able to correct it to get the door open one final time without having to drill it. The owner agreed to a replacement lock which we fitted and put the safe back into service.
Despite having two keys the owner could not gain access to her Securikey Premier safe at her home in Knutsford, Cheshire. We attended her home and opened it nondestructively.
This Samuel Withers Safe at a home in Winstanley, Wigan hadn’t been opened for at least 40 years. It was inside the house when they moved there in the 70’s and potentially hadn’t been opened for a good while before that. Quite rightly the owner now realised that it was a safety risk to have a locked safe without a means to open it under duress and was also curious as to its contents.
We were not the first company to be called to this job, the previous engineer advised that the lock was seized and that the safe would need to be drilled open. After a disagreement with them the owner contacted us and we went to perform the opening. The exterior of the safe looked quite rusty from the pictures but surprisingly the interior of the lock looked remarkably clean when inspected with our optical equipment which is small enough to fit through the narrowest of key ways and give us a clear view of the inner workings. With a suitable pick selected we noted that the lock was responding well to the picking process and proceeded to pick it open in a short period of time.
With the lock open we faced the next hurdle of getting the locking boltwork to retract by turning the handle which was stiff but without too much of a fight we got the handle to move to unlock the door. The final hurdle was to get the door to open which was the hardest part of the job, with some lubrication and some gentle persuasion however we got it to swing.
The owner found some interesting old paperwork inside and we were happy to have performed another non-destructive opening as we always endeavour to do.
