Securikey Protector Under Floor Safe

Securikey Protector Under Floor Safe

This Securikey Protector safe had seen a lot of action at a petrol station in Cheshire. The handle was loose the boltwork sloppy and the key would only work if the wind was blowing in a certain direction. The owner saw sense and contacted us before it became locked shut and we agreed to give it a service. With a new set of keys and everything working as it should it can go back to work for plenty more years to come.

The key to this Churchill Banker under floor safe had been lost a long time ago but was still being used to store cash. All of a sudden the safe lid failed to open for the owner despite repeated hammer blows. Even knocking off the bolt control knob didn’t seem to help them so they called us. The initial photograph didn’t include the raised flooring surrounding it which meant the safe was far deeper down than was comfortable but we set to work on it. The first thing we noticed was that the lock had somehow been locked and secondly it was very loose meaning that extra security devices in the safe had likely been activated.

The first thing we did was to pick the lock open which would have been enough under normal circumstances to remove the lid but our suspicion of an activated relocker was confirmed. This was looking like a very long job and having to drill the lid in several places to release the spring loaded relockers. We got really lucky with it though and managed to get it open without any drilling or further damage than had already been caused before we arrived.

This Dreadnought under floor safe was aquired with a new house purchase several years ago, locked and without a key. During recent renovation works the key was found but the safe would still not open once it had been used. After troubleshooting over the phone we suspected a boltwork failure which the owner would not be able to resolve themselves. We therefore went out and opened it up for them confirming our initial diagnosis of the issue.
