The owners of this Chubb TDR at a supermarket in Burnley were unable to open their safe. We attended site within the hour of the call and with a bit of lateral thinking had it open within five minutes.
Lost Safe Combination
Ministry Cabinet Mark IV Manifoil
The combination to a Manifoil Mark 4 combination lock on a ministry cabinet in North Wales had been lost. We were asked to open the unit as they were disposing of it and needed it emptied prior to it being let off site. Due to the nature of the facility we were not allowed to take photographs and had to be escorted at all times but we got the job done.
Stratford Service Safe Lost Combination
The combination had been lost to this Stratford Service safe at a private residence in Liverpool. The safe lock is an S&G 6700 series Group 2, 3 wheel combination lock which the owners did not use to lock the safe and the dial got turned during a party some years ago which locked the safe up with no way for them to open it. As they were now moving home they needed access to retrieve the house deeds and other important documents so they called us to recover the combination as they did not want the safe to be damaged in any way. By a process of manipulation we discovered the safe lock combination and opened the safe without any fuss or damage. Another satisfied customer in what is possibly our final safe opening of 2015.
Polifer MC-530 (Diplomat) Safe Lost combination
The owners of this Polifer MC-530 safe at a wholesale clothing company in Manchester had lost the combination to the safe and needed to check it’s contents. This safe requires both the combination to be dialled and the key to then retract the boltwork, in this case they had the keys so we did not need to pick the key lock. By a process of manipulation we discovered the combination and were then able to open the safe with the key. Our opening technique did not damage the safe in any way so it could be immediately put back in to service.
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.
