The owners of this Phoenix 1220 Centurion Fire Safe had never used the combination lock and had only used the key as it was stored inside a much larger burglary resistant safe. They could not now open the safe with the key and initial diagnostics suggested that the dial must have been moved and scrambled the combination. We recovered the combination to unlock the safe and they now have the combination should it ever happen again.

Rosengrens Safe Opening

Fort Knox Lost Keys
This Fort Knox under floor safe was found by the new owners of a property in Rhyl, North Wales. They wanted the safe opened and had a great idea of using it as a time capsule for their children to open when they were older. We opened it up by picking the lock to reveal that the safe was empty. The lock was changed and new keys provided to prevent any potential existing keys from opening it.
Church Safes
We were called to a church in Wallasey after thieves had broken in through a stained glass window causing thousands of pounds worth of damage but fortunately got away with nothing of any value. They did however attempt to break in to a couple of safes preventing one of them from being opened with the key and stealing the keys to a smaller safe. The larger safe in the main picture was quickly fixed so that the key could enter the lock and open it up. The smaller safe shown below was picked open and re-keyed so that the stolen keys will no longer operate the lock.
We were also asked to open the lovely old warded rim lock on the church door shown below for which they key had been taken. As professional locksmiths we were pleased to oblige and after making a tool on site to operate the mechanism we opened it without any damage.

Clarke Safe Lost Combination
A customer from Wigan had been using this Clarke CS1055 safe for years by just using the key and not locking the combination lock. Unfortunately the dial got knocked causing a lock out as they did not know the combination and without opening the combination lock the key will not turn to open the safe. We opened the safe and provided the customer with the combination and instructions on how to dial it should the same thing happen again.
Yale Digital Safe Lost Keys
The batteries in this Yale digital safe at a hair salon in Manchester had fallen out and the owners had lost the override key. This had happened several times previously and was getting expensive for them to keep calling a locksmith to open it as each time they were told that they could not have a key provided to them for the emergency override lock. We attended the job, opened the safe and provided them with two new keys in case the batteries ever fall out or go flat again.
