Example of our lock services

Safe Cracking
We also offer a safe-cracking service, for when you need access to urgent valuables at times when you’ve lost the keys. Here are a number of ways to gain access to safe. The first is manipulation of the lock, to obtain the combination. Some locksmiths will drill holes in specific weak-points to observe the lock itself, and aid in it’s unlocking.

Barring these are brute-force methods, however, these should be done with extreme caution, as brute-forcing a safe lock usually triggers a “relocker”, that is designed to lock in the event of a brute force, and permanently seal it. A safe with the relocker engages must be brute-forced.

A re-locker may be engaged by a glass pane inside being broken by a pin, when a randomly-chosen, spring-loaded bolt is sprung, causing it to break the glass, whereupon the glass relocker prevents the safe from being disengaged. A thermal relocker can also be employed, that triggers if the temperature of the safe gets too hot (to guard against torches and welders).
