Safe opening & safe lockouts
Lost the combination, forgot the code, dead keypad or a lock that won’t turn. We open home and business safes and get them working again. Call (386) 853-3587.
Getting into a safe without wrecking it
A lot of safes open with the right technique, no drilling. Small fire safes and lock boxes often pick open, like the one in the photo.
Bigger safes with combination dials or electronic keypads take more work. If drilling is the only way, it’s done in a spot that can be repaired, and the safe can still be used afterward.

Batteries or a failed keypad on electronic safes.

Home safes and business safes
At home
Gun safes, fire safes and small lock boxes. Most lockouts come from dead batteries, forgotten codes or lost keys.
At work
Drop safes, office safes and cabinets. We open them and reset the lock, and can change the code when a manager leaves.
After the safe is open
Once it’s open we can reset the combination, replace the keypad or swap a dead electronic lock for a new one. If the old lock gave out because of age we’ll tell you and if a simple battery change would have fixed it we’ll tell you that too.
Write the new combination down and keep it somewhere away from the safe, a second copy with a family member or in a lockbox at the bank is a good idea. For business safes, give the code to the people who need it and change it when one of them leaves. We cover all of Flagler, Volusia and Putnam counties from the shop on North Ocean Shore Blvd in Palm Coast.
Keeping a gun safe ready
For gun safes the most common call is a keypad that won’t respond. Change the battery once a year even if it still works, and test the backup key so you know where it is and that it turns. If the safe is bolted down in a closet, make sure there’s room to get to the keypad battery door, some models hide it behind the dial or the handle.
Will you have to drill my safe?
Not always. We try other ways first and tell you before any drilling.
Can you change my combination?
Yes, after it’s open we can set a new one.
Do I need proof I own the safe?
Yes, we’ll ask for ID and proof the safe belongs to you.
Can you open a gun safe?
Yes, many gun safes open with the right technique. We’ll ask for proof of ownership.
Locked out of your safe?
Tell us the brand and type of lock if you know it.
