This Securikey Safeguard under floor safe was discovered by the owner after ten years of living at the house. This meant that it hadn’t been opened for over ten years, it was missing it’s handle and it had a snapped key jammed in the keyway so this was never going to be an easy opening.
With very little of the key to grab on to and it being rusted in the key guide we had a big fight just to get it out. Once extracted we could take a good look into the lock but what we saw was rust and slime, we tried to pick it but nothing at all was moving so not even the correct key would have opened it. With a lot of persuasion we got it open to discover that it was completely full of water so no wonder it had seized up so badly.
