An unusually branded safe this one but it looked all too familiar. This Cock safe in a college in Bolton had been re-sited by some building contractors and they could no longer get in to it. After some initial diagnostic work with the combination lock we were able to open the safe without any damage and put it back in to service.
Combination Lock
Hobbs Bank Vault Opening
We were asked to open this Hobbs vault door in an ex high street bank building in Birkenhead after it was taken over by the new owners. They had been using the door with twin Chubb four wheel combination locks for several weeks but were told that the locks had been disabled, this turned out not to be the case when someone turned one of the dials and the door was locked shut. We attended the job the same day and had it open without any damage in just over an hour.
Phoenix 1220 Centurion Opening
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.
Leabank Royal Lost Combination
The owners of this Leabank Royal safe in Northwich had been using just the key to open and lock it for many years and had long since lost the code for the combination lock. The dial had accidentally got moved and caused a lock out, we attended the site of the holiday company and recovered the combination for them.
Rosengrens Safe Opening
The owner of this Rosengrens RS3 safe in Skelmersdale which was originally from a petrol station was having problems opening the four wheel combination lock. Having had twenty plus years of use since acquiring it the lock was starting to show it’s age. With a bit of servicing and resetting of the combination the safe was able to be reliably opened and put back in to service again.
