The keys had been lost to this possibly antique safe at a pub in Hyde, Manchester. The name plate had been removed and we have so far been unable to identify the make of safe. This didn’t stop us from picking the lock open however and making new keys for the owner.
When an Ormskirk care home lost the keys to their Denward CDC335 controlled drug cabinet they called us to get it open. We picked the lock, re-levered it and provided new keys so that the old keys could no longer be used.
Denward manufacture these cabinets in the UK and they adhere to the requirements of “The Misuse of Drugs Safe Custody Regulations 1973”
We received a call at midnight from a residential care home in Ormskirk who had lost the keys to their Nomad medication trolley. The residents were in urgent need of the medication inside so we headed off immediately. Once on site we opened the trolley without causing any damage and replaced the lock supplying them with two new keys.
The electronics had failed on this Kamasa Tools digital safe on the Wirral some time ago and the customer had been using the override key lock to secure it. The keys were now lost and the customer had attempted to break into it himself without any luck. The damage you see is from from his attempts and not from our professional opening which caused no further damage to the safe.
After opening the safe we advised that it would be more cost effective to replace it than to have it repaired due to the damage that had been caused. Most safes require specialist tools and expert knowledge to open them without damage, attempting to open a safe without the key or combination is likely to not end up well and will often be more expensive than calling a professional from the start.
The combination had been lost to this Fort Knox Chancellor under floor safe at a private residence in Maghull, Merseyside. We attended the customers home and identified the lock as a La Gard Group two, three wheel combination lock, initial diagnostics suggested that the lock was working correctly so we began the process of manipulating it open.
Manipulation is a process of discovering the combination of the lock and is often depicted in movies with the safe cracker using a stethoscope or an upturned glass tumbler to listen to the lock. Whilst we carry high tech listening devices they are not always necessary and with this lock we didn’t need anything but our un-sanded fingers to identify what the lock was ‘saying’ to us. Within a short space of time the lock had given up its first number of the combination shortly followed by the second and the third at which point the lid could be removed to reveal the safes contents. We then reset the combination to one of the owners choosing and gave instructions on how to dial the lock and how to insert and remove the lid.
Fort Knox safes are unfortunately no longer trading but they were based in Maghull so this one didn’t have to travel far from the factory where it was made.
The keys had been lost to this mobile cabinet at a shop in Salford, Manchester. We attended site, picked the lock open and supplied a new lock and keys.
The key had been accidentally locked inside this Sentry safe at a Solicitors office in Liverpool. The contents were required for them to start their business first thing in the morning so we agreed to go out immediately and open it for them ready for the next day. Once on site we picked the lock open so that the safe could be put straight back into service once the keys were retrieved from inside. The whole thing from the initial call to the safe being opened took less than an hour, now how’s that for service!
The batteries had run out and there was no override key for this Sentry X075 safe at a pub in Oldham. They had been told by another company that the safe would need to be drilled open and replaced. We disagreed and advised that we could pick the lock open without damage to the lock or safe. This is exactly what we did and had the safe back in service within five minutes of arriving on site.
Whilst it’s true that some locks and safes may require the use of a drill to open it is always our mission to open them non-destructively wherever possible. We train hard and have all the latest safe opening equipment to ensure that we can repeatedly provide the best service to our clients.
If you have been told that your safe requires drilling in order to open it then please give us a call for a second opinion.
The combination had been lost to this Phoenix 2500 Datacombi safe at an office in Manchester. We attended site and opened it, reset the combination and put it back in to service.
The Phoenix 2500 Datacombi safe provides fire protection for paper documents, computer diskettes, tapes and all forms of data storage and security for cash and valuables all in one unit and is suitable for use in residential or business premises.
Due to a family bereavement the code to this Fire Fyter FF1500 was lost and the relatives required access to it’s contents. We attended the private residence in Manchester and opened the safe as requested.
