Lost Safe Keys

Secure Safes (Coventry) Under Floor Safe

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

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.

Fort Knox Safes Maghull Liverpool

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

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

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.

Yale under floor safe lost keys

Yale Under Floor Safe Lost Keys

We received a very late emergency call at 10pm to open this Yale under floor safe in Crewe. The owner had lost the keys and required the cash it contained to pay for building materials at 6am the next morning. We attended and opened it up despite the time as we appreciate that problems often occur at the worst possible moment and we will always do our best to help out our customers.
