Safe Repair

  • Safe hard to open? Handle broken? We can fix that. Whether it’s a broken handle, binding door, loose dial or defective electronic keypad we can diagnose the problem for you and suggest the most economical way to repair your safe. Many problems can be fixed right on the spot.

Safe Openings

  • Safe not opening? Whether it’s a lost or unknown combination or the safe doesn’t want to open with the correct combination we can open your safe, in most cases without drilling. 
  • Many safe lock malfunctions can be bypassed with safe lock diagnostics. In those cases where it becomes necessary to drill we practice precision safe drilling using the smallest size hole possible in a location that will not be seen when repairs are finished. But, our goal is to not have to drill - it's kind of our thing.
  • Many safes with lost or unknown combinations can also be opened without drilling provided the lock is working smoothly and there are no other issues to deal with.
  • Combination Changes 
  • Need to be sure that a former employee or previous owner can’t get into your safe? We can reset the combination to your safe to a new one so that only you know the combination.
  • Key Cutting and Replacement
  • We can replace or order new keys to most key operated safes.
  • Safe Lock Service
  • We can service and inspect your safe lock to ensure that all the components are working properly to avert any breakdowns or lockouts that might arise due mechanical failures.
  • Battery Changes
  • Not sure how to change the batteries or would rather have someone who knows what they’re doing change the batteries for you? We can change the batteries for you and advise you on how often you need to change them depending on the safe type and the amount of usage.
  • Installation of Safes
  • We can level and bolt down your safe so that the door doesn’t swing open or closed causing damage to walls or injury to people.
