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.

B&Q Digital Safe Lost Key

The electronics on this B&Q safe had failed and the owner was just using the override key until it got lost. With a plane to catch and the passports safely locked in it we were asked to attend the private residence in Manchester to get it open. Once on site we quickly picked the lock open and locked the safe open so that it couldn’t accidentally be locked shut again. The owner was in the process of moving home and believed the key would be found so did not require us to replace the lock.

The key to this Withy Grove Stores safe at a home in Poynton had been put somewhere safe along with another couple of bunches of keys which were hoped to be locked in the safe.

We were told that there was no key or combination for this Phoenix 1220 Centurion safe at a farm near Macclesfield in Cheshire. Once we arrived on site the combination had been discovered by the owner but the key was still missing. We dialled in the given combination and picked the key lock to open the safe. We offered to make new keys but the owner was confident that the original key would turn up eventually.
