This Smith & Locke 25BLG safe was acquired by a Skelmersdale business after the closure of one of their other offices. For GDPR data protection reasons they needed to ensure that there was nothing inside but they did not have the combination. Having called us, we were able to open it up without damage to satisfy their legal obligations and they also had a usable safe.
Flat Safe Battery
Digital Home Safe Lost Key
The owner of this Digital home safe in Ormskirk, Lancashire could not open his safe. The last time it was opened it seemed that the batteries were flat so he changed them and locked it up again. Unfortunately the digital lock would no longer open the safe and the key had been lost. We arrived on site twenty minutes after receiving the call and had it open within a couple of minutes. We tested the batteries which all showed to have sufficient power and had to advise that it was beyond economical repair due to the low cost of a new unit and the lack of availability of spare parts.
Yale Digital Safe Flat Batteries
The batteries had run out of power on this Yale digital safe at a home in Prescot, Liverpool. The keys were also with a family member who was out of the country so they had no way of opening it. We attended and opened it for them without causing any damage so that the batteries could be changed and the key would still work when it was available again.
Sentry X075 Flat Batteries No Keys
The batteries had run out and there was no override key for this Sentry X075 safe at a pub in Oldham. They had been told by another company that the safe would need to be drilled open and replaced. We disagreed and advised that we could pick the lock open without damage to the lock or safe. This is exactly what we did and had the safe back in service within five minutes of arriving on site.
Whilst it’s true that some locks and safes may require the use of a drill to open it is always our mission to open them non-destructively wherever possible. We train hard and have all the latest safe opening equipment to ensure that we can repeatedly provide the best service to our clients.
If you have been told that your safe requires drilling in order to open it then please give us a call for a second opinion.
Blackspur BB-ES100 Electronic Safe Opening
This Blackspur electronic safe had been left by the previous tenant at an apartment in Manchester. The keypad was not responding possibly due to flat batteries and no key had been left for the override lock. The new tenant just wanted to remove it to make space but it was bolted to the floor so needed to be opened in order to move it. We attended and opened it without damage despite it heading for the nearest skip.
Electronic Digital Safe Opening
We were asked to open this digital safe at a residence in Liverpool as the keypad stopped responding and the over-ride keys could not be found. We were told that the batteries had been changed recently so we suspected that the cover may not have been fitted correctly and they had fallen out. We picked the lock open to discover that the batteries had been inserted the wrong way around.
A useful tip when changing any sort of combination or batteries on a safe is to check the operation at least three times with the door open. If something does go wrong then it is always easier to resolve the issue with the door open.
We completed this job by changing the lock and providing two new keys so that the owner can get into the safe should the batteries fail in the future.
Yale YSB Safe Lost Keys
The owner of this Yale YSB digital safe in Mossley, Ashton-under-Lyne, had lost the double bitted override keys and the batteries were flat. We picked the lock open so he could access the contents.
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.
