An underfloor safe in Burscough became the focus of a sensitive job when a family, dealing with a deceased relative’s estate, needed access to a Securikey Strongbox. With no key available and the possibility that important documents—such as a will—could be stored inside, gaining access was a priority.
Underfloor safes like the Securikey Strongbox are designed to be both discreet and secure, often hidden beneath carpets or flooring and built to resist tampering. While this makes them excellent for protecting valuables, it can also make access difficult when keys are lost—especially in situations where time and sensitivity are important.
Understanding the circumstances, we approached the job with care and professionalism. Using our specialist tools and techniques, we were able to pick the lock open non-destructively, ensuring the safe remained intact and fully usable.
Once opened, the family were able to check the contents and rule out the safe as the location of any important legal documents. While nothing of that nature was found inside, it provided clarity and allowed them to continue managing the estate with one less uncertainty.
We also advised that the safe could be reused or have new keys made if the family chose to keep it in service.
Jobs like this require not just technical skill, but also discretion and respect for the situation. Another careful and professional safe opening carried out in Burscough by Paladin Safe Services.
