Safe Opening and Repair Services
As professional locksmiths, we don’t just deal with doors and windows – we can also assist you with damaged or locked safes that you are unable to open. There can be many reasons why a safe no longer operates as it should: the tumblers can slip in the locking mechanism, a key can get stuck or broken in the lock, it can be damaged during a failed break-in attempt, and more.

Professional Safe Opening: Regaining Access to Your Valuables
As expert locksmiths, we offer specialised services beyond typical doors and windows. We are fully equipped to assist you with damaged, locked, or inaccessible mechanical lock safes and vaults. A safe failing to open is typically due to mechanical malfunction or human error.
Reasons you may require our professional safe opening service include:
Mechanical Failure: Tumblers slipping in the locking mechanism, internal parts breaking, or the locking bolt jamming.
Key Issues: A double-bit key getting stuck, broken in the lock, or completely lost.
Code Issues: Forgotten or incorrect mechanical combination entry on the dial.
Forced Entry Damage: Damage sustained during a failed break-in attempt, resulting in the lock seizing up.
Whatever the situation – whether it’s an inherited safe with no documentation or a long-serving safe that’s simply seized – our trained locksmiths are here to help you regain access with minimal intrusion.
Safe Opening Techniques and Expertise
We understand the inherent security of safes and employ a variety of professional, non-destructive, and precise methods tailored to the safe’s construction and security rating.
Our skilled safe opening technicians specialise in traditional key lock safes and mechanical combination safes. We pride ourselves on using non-invasive techniques where possible, such as lock manipulation or scoping, to gain access without compromising the safe’s integrity. For high-security or damaged safes, controlled drilling may be necessary, which is always performed precisely to bypass internal relockers and facilitate subsequent repair.
