Dreadnought E Series II

Dreadnought E Series II Safe Opening

This Dreadnought E Series II Safe was found by the new owners of a home in Preston and was initially thought to be a sewer pipe. We would normally pick the locks open on these but initial signs were not good, the handle was missing and we could see water in the keyhole which could only mean that the safe lid was sitting in water and probably had been for a number of years. With everything seized we had no option but to drill this one open and unsurprisingly found the entire safe to be filled with water.

Another Fort Knox underfloor safe cracked by Paladin Safe Services. The safe was found hidden under a 1980’s newspaper where presumably it had laid undisturbed until today. We picked open the lock and provided a new set of keys so that it could start to be used again. We have opened dozens of these safes but have never seen one with a red escutcheon covering the key hole. Perhaps this was a special edition of some sort.

Floorboard Underfloor Safe Opening

This underfloor safe was discovered after living in a property in Skelmersdale for six years. With no keys available they were intrigued as to its contents and wanted to be able to use the safe. Not quite the closest safe we have opened but being in Skelmersdale made it a very local job. We picked the lock open so as not to damage the safe and replaced the lock to provide a new set of keys.
