This is the second time we’ve worked on this Milners’ door in the past six months. This time a set of keys had been stolen from the pub in Southport and they required the lock to be changed. We rekeyed the lock for them and provided new keys to prevent the old ones from working.
We were called to rekey this Milners Holdfast safe at a church in Shrewsbury, Shropshire after a set of keys were stolen. The job was a bit further afield than we regularly travel but the customer had been unable to find anybody closer who was willing or able to do the job so we were happy to help them out. We changed the lock to prevent the previous keys from working and cut a large number of extra keys to be redistributed to the autorised keyholders.
When a restaurant in Warrington needed keys for their safe they called us to sort it out. We gave the lock a good service and cut new keys by hand so they could continue using this old Milners safe.

We were called to a church in Wallasey after thieves had broken in through a stained glass window causing thousands of pounds worth of damage but fortunately got away with nothing of any value. They did however attempt to break in to a couple of safes preventing one of them from being opened with the key and stealing the keys to a smaller safe. The larger safe in the main picture was quickly fixed so that the key could enter the lock and open it up. The smaller safe shown below was picked open and re-keyed so that the stolen keys will no longer operate the lock.
We were also asked to open the lovely old warded rim lock on the church door shown below for which they key had been taken. As professional locksmiths we were pleased to oblige and after making a tool on site to operate the mechanism we opened it without any damage.
The owners of this Milners safe in Warrington had the key but the safe would not open. We opened the safe without any damage and returned it to service.
