We were recently called to an ex-council office in Conwy, North Wales, where a large Chubb Commerce Quality safe had been left behind following a change in building ownership. With no keys available and no knowledge of the contents, the new occupants needed access to the safe — but wanted to avoid any damage in case they chose to reuse it.
The Chubb Commerce Quality range is built to a very high standard, offering reliable protection against theft. As with all Chubb safes, the locking mechanisms are precise and secure, designed to resist tampering and forced entry — which is great when you’re locking it, but a challenge when the keys are long gone.
Using our specialist skills and tools, we were able to pick the lock open non-destructively, preserving the integrity of the safe and making it fully serviceable again. Once open, we inspected the locking mechanism and confirmed it was in excellent working condition, despite years of disuse.
Jobs like this demonstrate how important it is to use a professional safe engineer when dealing with legacy safes. With the lock intact, the client now has the option to have new keys made if they decide to keep the safe in use.
Another high-quality safe expertly opened by Paladin Safe Services in Conwy, North Wales — preserving security, functionality, and peace of mind without any damage. If you’ve got a safe without keys or combination, modern or vintage, we’re just a call away.
