Safe Opening
Our safe opening service utilises advanced lock-picking tools and fibre-optic cameras to access safes with minimal damage. We handle all types, from bank vaults to household units, employing techniques like manipulation and auto-dialling. Emergency 24/7 availability ensures urgent needs are met promptly.
Safe Installation
We deliver and install safes using specialist equipment for secure placement. Services include site assessment, relocation, and fitting of new or reconditioned units. Expert installation guarantees optimal security, with options for UK-manufactured safes and comprehensive warranty coverage.
Safe Servicing
Regular servicing prevents lock failures and ensures smooth operation. We clean carbon build-up, recondition obsolete locks, and offer annual maintenance plans. Professional servicing avoids costly emergencies and extends the lifespan of your security equipment.
Safe Lock Upgrades
Upgrade mechanical locks to digital systems for superior protection. We install electronic locks with features like audit trails, multiple user codes, and tamper alerts. Modernisation reduces vulnerability to picking while improving user convenience.
Repair Services
We repair damaged locks, doors, and mechanisms using high-quality components. Services include drilling repairs, mechanism replacements, and restoring functionality after forced entry. All repairs return safes to full working condition with minimal disruption.
