The safe, the lock type and how long it takes.
Before you call
Have proof of ownership and any paperwork for the safe. Note the brand.
Good to know
Safes are built to resist entry, which makes opening one without the code or key a skilled job. Many home and office safes can be opened without damage. Some cannot, and we say so after we see the make and model. If the safe holds important documents, tell us, and we will choose the gentlest method available.
When this is not the right fix
Bank vaults, commercial vaults and some rated safes need the manufacturer or a specialist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you open any safe?
No. High-security safes and vaults can be very difficult or impossible to open without damage.
Do you need proof that the safe is mine?
Yes. We ask for ID and something that connects you to the safe or the property.
Will the safe still work afterwards?
Often yes, if non-destructive methods work. If the safe is damaged, we tell you before we start.
