We were recently called to a property in Newton-le-Willows to assist with a locked European Union Safe Company – Vienna model safe. The owner had unfortunately lost the keys and had no way of accessing the contents inside. With the safe securely locked and no spares available, they needed a professional solution that wouldn’t damage the safe or compromise its future usability.

The Vienna model is known for its solid construction and reliable key locking mechanism, designed to provide a high level of security. Opening one of these safes without keys is no small task—it requires a steady hand, the right tools, and detailed knowledge of the internal workings of safe locks.

Rather than taking a destructive approach, we used our specialist non-destructive entry methods and carefully picked open the lock. This allowed us to gain access without damaging the lock or the safe itself—meaning it remained fully functional and undamaged throughout the process.

One of the key benefits of this approach is that it preserves the original lock, allowing us to cut and supply a new set of keys to match the existing mechanism if required in the future. In this case, the customer didn’t need new keys immediately, but they now have the option to restore full use of the safe whenever they choose.

Another job completed professionally and cleanly by Paladin Safe Services in Newton-le-Willows—demonstrating once again that even high-security safes can be opened without damage when you have the right skills and experience.
