Call or request a quote
Tell us the make, model and the problem. Our phone is answered 24/7, seven days a week.
Identify the lock
We assess the safe and choose the least-invasive method for that make and lock.
Open it
Manipulation and other non-destructive methods first; controlled drilling only as a last resort.
Re-secure & service
We reset or replace the lock, patch any drill point and leave the safe working.
Why won't my safe open?
Most safe lockouts come down to one of these — tell us which sounds like yours and we'll bring the right tools.
Lost key or forgotten combination
You're locked out because the key's misplaced or the code won't come to you — the most common call we get, and usually a quick fix.
Combination has drifted
On older dial locks the combination can shift slightly over time, so the code that always worked suddenly doesn't. Try it four or five times, then call us.
Time-delay or lockout mode
Modern electronic safes self-lock after several wrong attempts. Stop trying the code and call — forcing it only makes things worse.
Jammed bolts
The safe won't open even with the right code or key. Bolts jam from poor maintenance or from someone forcing the door.
Damaged lock after a break-in
A forced-entry attempt can wreck the lock mechanism from the inside, jamming the door even when the outside looks fine.
Electronic or wiring fault
Keypad safes have internal wiring that can come loose or fail. We open and repair both mechanical and electronic locks.
How we open it — non-destructively first
We always try the least-invasive method for your safe's make and lock before any drilling.
Combination manipulation
We listen to the lock's mechanical movement with specialist equipment and dial it open — no damage, no drilling.
Scoping
Through a tiny hole we use a borescope to read the wheel pack, then open the safe; the hole is sealed with hardened carbide afterward.
Controlled drilling
Only as a last resort — a small, precise drill point, after which the lock is repaired or replaced so the safe stays fully usable.
Typical tools: borescopes, high-speed and diamond drills, drilling rigs and lock picks — used by background-checked, certified technicians.
What it costs
Every safe is different, so we give you a clear written price before any work starts — and the quote itself is free.
What affects the price
- The make, model and age of the safe
- Lock type — mechanical, electronic or high-security
- A booked visit or an emergency call-out
- What's needed afterward — a reset, a new lock or a repair
You approve the price up front — no surprises, and no charge for the quote or the advice.
“Prompt, professional, and comprehensive! We had an evening safe situation and Ari responded almost immediately. He gave us a quote (which he stuck by) and was able to arrive the next morning at 9am. Not only did he open the safe, he made it workable again. One of the most reasonable quotes and definitely the fastest service — it is hard to find those two together. Thank you, Ari!”

Safe Opening FAQs
Can you open my safe without damaging it?
Wherever possible, yes. We manipulate mechanical locks open with no damage, and drilling is a controlled last resort — a small, precise hole, after which we repair or replace the lock so the safe stays fully usable.
Do you answer calls 24/7?
Yes — our phone is answered 24/7, seven days a week, across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Same-day and emergency openings are offered subject to a technician's availability.
I've lost the combination — can you reset it?
Yes. Once the safe is open we service the lock and set a fresh combination (or fit a new lock), then test it with you before we leave.
What makes and locks can you open?
All makes of home, commercial and high-security safe, with mechanical or electronic locks — including Gardall and AMSEC safes and Kaba Mas X-10 and SecuRam locks, which our technicians are certified on.
