What do you need to quote a safe opening?
Photos of the safe and its keypad or dial, the brand and model, its size and whether it is bolted down, and what went wrong.
- A photo of the whole safe, and of the keypad or dial.
- The brand and model, usually on a label inside the door or on the back.
- Roughly how big and heavy it is, and whether it is bolted down.
- What went wrong: lost code, lost key, keypad dead, or the handle turns but nothing happens.
What can I try before calling?
Check the keypad battery and the backup key, ask the maker for an override code after proving ownership, or look in a new safe's paperwork.
- Keypad dead? Many electronic safes have a battery compartment under the keypad, or a backup key behind the logo plate.
- Code lost on a hotel-style or gun safe? Many makers can send the override code or key after you prove you own it. Look up the maker's support page.
- Brand-new safe? The factory code and backup key are usually in the paperwork or taped inside the box.
Why is the ownership check so strict?
A safe is where people keep cash, papers and guns. We need photo ID and proof you own the place it sits in, and we may ask for the receipt.
Safes that belong to an estate need the executor's paperwork.
Which safes need a safe specialist?
Large commercial safes, bank-grade or rated vaults, and safes with relockers that trip when tampered with need a dedicated safe technician.
If yours is one of them, we tell you first and name one, instead of sending someone who will fail.
Questions people ask
How much does a locksmith charge to unlock a safe?
It depends on the safe, so we quote from a photo and the model before anyone drives out. The text you get is the most you pay, the same as every other job.
Can you open it without drilling?
Not if it can be avoided. Many home safes open through a backup key, the keypad, or a manufacturer override. Drilling ruins the lock and needs your approval first.
What proof of ownership do you need?
Photo ID, proof you own or rent the place the safe sits in, and the receipt if you have it. Estates need the executor paperwork.
Can you change my safe combination?
On many home safes, yes, once it is open and you can show it is yours.
