Set a new combination on your existing safe lock
A combination change sets a brand-new code on the lock your safe already has — there's no new hardware involved. It's the right fix when you've bought a used or second-hand safe, an employee or tenant has moved on, the current code has been shared too widely, or you just want a routine security refresh. Sherlocks works on both mechanical dial locks and electronic keypad locks, and we explain each step so you know exactly what's happening to the safe that holds your most valued things.
- New code on your existing lock — no replacement hardware
- Mechanical dial and electronic keypad locks
- Free, no-obligation written quote approved before any work
- Licensed, background-checked technicians
When to change your combination
You bought a used safe
If you picked up a second-hand or pre-owned safe, the seller and anyone before them may still know the code. Setting a fresh combination makes the safe truly yours from day one.
Someone moved on
When an employee leaves or a tenant moves out, it's worth resetting the code regardless of how much you trusted them. A new combination keeps access limited to the people you choose.
Too many people know the code
In a busy office or home, combinations get shared over time. If the code feels like common knowledge, or you think it was written down or leaked, change it to lock access back down.
A routine security refresh
You don't need a problem to change your code. Updating the combination on a schedule is a simple way to keep your safe secure and your peace of mind intact.

What it costs
Every safe is different, so we quote each combination change individually. You'll get a free, no-obligation written quote, and we won't begin work until you approve it. A few things affect the price:
What affects the price
- Lock type — mechanical dial vs. electronic keypad
- Make and model of your safe
- The safe's location and access within your home or business
- Whether the lock also needs any service before resetting
No hidden fees. We confirm the full price in writing before any work begins.
“Great experience. I had tried several other safe opening companies and was never able to schedule, but Sherlock Safes came the next day after I called and was able to get my safe open. Easy communication and payment options and fantastic service with upfront pricing. Highly recommend Sherlock Safes.”

Safe Combination Change FAQs
What's the difference between a combination change and a lock change?
A combination change sets a new code on the lock your safe already has — no parts are replaced. A lock change is different: it swaps in new lock hardware. If your goal is simply a fresh code, you want a combination change.
Can you change the code on both dial and keypad safes?
Yes. We change combinations on both mechanical dial locks and electronic keypad locks. Let us know which type you have when you call and we'll guide you from there.
I just bought a used safe — should I change the code?
Yes. With a second-hand safe, the previous owner and anyone before them may still know the combination. Setting a new code is the first step to making the safe securely yours.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
We answer the phone 24/7, seven days a week. Service is by availability, and we'll schedule a visit at a time that works for you across all five NYC boroughs.
