Emergency
Locked out of your own safe? Safe opening for owners
When a safe will not open for its owner, we come to you and open it. We ask for proof the safe is yours first.

How we work
We are a mobile locksmith. We come to you.
What this covers
Safe opening is for a safe that will not open for the person it belongs to: a forgotten combination or code, a keypad with a dead battery, a lost key, or a lock that has failed. We work on home and business safes, and we ask for proof that the safe is yours before any work starts. The aim is to open it while keeping as much of the safe usable as possible.
How we approach it
We start with the simplest explanation. A keypad safe that has gone quiet may only need power, and a safe that will not open with the right key may have a lock that has seized. Only when those are ruled out do we move on to the lock itself, and we explain the options before we begin.
Where it stops
Safe opening covers getting the safe open for its owner. We do not sell, move or deliver safes, and we do not change their combinations. If the safe needs a new lock afterwards, we will tell you what we found.
What safe opening covers
Open a safe for its owner.
Worth knowing
Check the simple things first. On a keypad safe, look for the battery compartment, which on many models is reached from the outside, or a place to connect emergency power; the manual shows where. On a key safe, try the spare key if there is one. A keypad that has gone quiet may only need a battery.
Do not force a safe. Prying at the door, drilling on your own or hammering the handle can jam the bolts, make the safe much harder to open, and damage what is inside. If the safe will not open with its code, its key or fresh batteries, leave it as it is.
Once the safe is open, think about access. Write down the new code or keep the spare key somewhere secure away from the safe itself, and tell one trusted person where. A safe that only one person can open is one forgotten code away from being locked again.
