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.

CBS Security Company Underfloor Safe

The keys had been lost to this CBS Security Company safe in Chorley, Lancashire and the contents needed to be retrieved as the owners were moving house. We picked the lock open causing no damage which allowed the owners to proceed with their move.

Brattonsound Sentinel Plus Gun Safe Lost Keys

The keys had been lost to this Brattonsound Sentinel Plus gun safe at a residence in Warrington. The lock on the main door is a double bitted lock which needs picking twice to fully open it which we did and then we picked open the lock on the internal ammunition cabinet. Both locks were replaced and new keys supplied to the happy owner.

Post Office Safes, Lost Keys And Combination

The keys and combination had been lost to all three of these Insafe and Safetell safes at a Post Office in Scotland. The locks were all picked open and re-keyed so that they could be used again.

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.

Secure Safes (Coventry) Under Floor Safe

This Secure Safes (Coventry) safe was found by the new owners of a property in Golborne Warrington. They had a locksmith out prior to us who only managed to break the handle off. They then called us to open it as they wanted to check if there was anything in it prior to screeding over it with concrete. It took us a lot longer than expected but as always we stick to our fixed price opening quote, we were grateful for the tip though and we were able to keep the lid for our collection of spare parts.

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.

Sistec Safe Lost Keys

The keys to this Sistec safe at a pub in Warrington had been lost. We picked the safe open and re-keyed it providing the owner with two new keys.

Fort Knox Maghull Liverpool

This Fort Knox under floor safe was discovered by the new owners of a commercial premise in Chorley, Lancashire. Unfortunately the previous owners hadn’t left the keys so we were asked to open it and put it back in to service. We have opened a lot of these safes and this was the second one this week. We picked the lock open and provided two new keys as requested.

Fort Knox Safe Withy Grove Stores

We were asked to open and supply new keys to this Fort Knox underfloor safe in Oldham, Manchester. Upon arrival we identified that the safe lock was open but the lid would not move. There are a number of things that can cause this but after further discussion with the owner we found out that the safe hadn’t been used for fifteen years. The mostly likely cause then judging by the visible rust was that it had seized up. After much persuasion we got the lid out and was able to replace the lock and put the safe back in to service.

This particular safe was supplied by Withy Grove Stores in Manchester which we often see on safes that we open and previous research showed that they were established way back in 1850 and were still trading. Quite by chance yesterday whilst returning from another opening we passed their store for the first time and saw their impressive large display of safes in the window. We must drop by and have a proper look one day.
