Safe Opening and Repairs
When opening safes, our safe locksmiths will try to use picking or manipulation methods if possible to minimise damage and allow the continual use of the safe. If it is necessary to drill the safe, our engineers would adhere to the industry’s Code of Practice (BS7582), for the reconditioning and repair of used safes.
