We had an urgent call from a B&B in the Lake District near Ambleside to gain access to this Leigh Safes Essex safe as none of the keys they had would open it. We attended site, quickly diagnosed the issue and opened the safe for them.
Safe Key Wont Work
Chubb Lichfield Keys Not Working
We were called to this Chubb safe at a department store in Salford after it was reported that the safe could not be locked. With the two keys on site we were unable to identify any issues as it locked and unlocked fine. Upon further inspection of the boltwork and the lock we were still unable to find anything that would prevent it from locking. Our best guess is that there was something inside the safe blocking it which had since been moved but we will never know for sure.
J Grove Safe Opening
This antique J Grove safe at a church in Cumbria would not open as the key could not be inserted into the lock. We quickly diagnosed and corrected the problem leaving the safe in working order.
Stratford Stronghold Opening
This Stratford Stronghold safe at a bar in Manchester was locked and neither of the keys would open it. We were told that they had always had to jiggle the keys in the lock to get it to work. We picked the lock open and identified that the keys were so badly cut that they had caused the lockout. We provided new keys to the lock which work every time without the need to shake it about in the lock and hope that it opens. If a safe is difficult to open then always get it checked out by a safe engineer before it becomes a major problem.
Dudley Grade 1 Safe Opening
This Dudley Grade 1 safe in Blackpool had been troublesome to operate for some time until eventually it failed and couldn’t be opened by the store staff. We successfully opened the safe and replaced the worn out lock.
