Safes are designed to keep your valuables secure and, if desired, hidden from view. At Sure Lock & Key, we specialize in repairing, installing, and, when necessary, opening safes—especially in situations where you're unable to open them yourself. Whether you've forgotten the combination or need assistance with a locked safe, here are some tips and tricks that might come in handy.
One common scenario is forgetting the safe combination, particularly if you rarely use your safe or if you’ve inherited a home with an unknown safe. Perhaps you’ve moved into a new property and found a safe left behind by the previous owner. These safes can be challenging to deal with, especially if you don’t have the combination. The good news is there are several methods you can try to open a safe without the combination.
If you find yourself in a situation where you have an open safe but no combination, there are still options available. For instance, if you’ve just moved into a new house and discovered an open safe, you can reset the combination to suit your needs. Similarly, if you realize you’ve forgotten the combination after locking the safe, you can bring it to us for a new combination setting. If relocating the safe isn’t feasible, our team can visit your location to assist you. In some cases, you might consider removing the door yourself and bringing it to us, though reinstallation can be tricky and is best left to professionals.
Retrieving the original combination from a manufacturer can be possible under certain conditions. Professional locksmiths with access to specific databases may be able to recover the combination, especially if the safe hasn't had its combination changed since purchase. However, this process becomes more complex if the safe was made in China or if the combination has been altered previously. Some electronic safes include master override codes, which can be accessed by providing the safe's serial number to a locksmith. If successful, this allows you to reset the combination and open the safe using the default code.
In emergencies, there are DIY solutions you can try. Drilling the lock is a straightforward method, particularly for older or cheaper safes. While this approach is quick and inexpensive, it often results in damage to the safe, requiring replacement. Safes priced below $400 are generally considered disposable in such scenarios.
Despite popular belief, using a stethoscope to open a safe is largely a myth perpetuated by movies. Modern safes are built with advanced security features that render this technique ineffective. Instead, your best bet is to rely on the combination, a key, or professional assistance if you're locked out.
In conclusion, while safes are meant to keep your belongings safe, there are times when you may need professional help to access them. Whether you’ve forgotten the combination, inherited a safe, or are dealing with an emergency, there are steps you can take to regain access. Our team at Sure Lock & Key is here to assist you with any safe-related issues you may encounter.
