Safe Repair & Opening in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

A safe that will not open is stressful, and forcing it usually makes the problem more expensive. Our technicians open and repair home, office and commercial safes, and we do it with methods that keep the safe working afterwards whenever possible.

Because we also sell and install safes, we know how the common brands are built. We service Inkas, Sentry Safe, USCAN, Brawn and most other makes, from small fire boxes to heavy burglary rated models.

What we handle

  • Safe opening when the combination, code or key is lost
  • Electronic keypad faults, dead batteries and error codes
  • Mechanical dial problems and sticking bolts
  • Combination and code changes
  • Lock replacement and upgrades
  • Hinge, handle and door alignment repair
  • Relocking device and bolt work after a failed attempt
  • Safe inspections and advice before you buy a used safe

When to call about a safe

  • You inherited or bought a safe and do not have the combination.
  • The keypad beeps, shows an error or does nothing.
  • The handle turns but the door will not open.
  • A previous opening attempt has triggered the relocker.
  • The safe is in a business and the code holder has left.

How it works

02Proof of ownershipWe confirm the safe is yours before any opening work starts.
03Open or repairWe work to keep the safe intact and usable.
04Reset and testNew codes or combinations are set and everything is tested before we leave.

What affects the price of safe work

  • Make, model and burglary rating of the safe.
  • Lock type: mechanical dial, electronic keypad or key.
  • Whether a relocker has fired or the safe has been tampered with.
  • Location and access, since heavy safes can be hard to reach.

Frequently asked questions

Can you open any safe?

We can open most home, office and commercial safes. High-rated models take longer, and we will tell you what to expect before we start.

Will opening damage the safe?

Our aim is a non-destructive opening where the safe allows it. If drilling is needed, we repair or replace the affected parts.

Do I need to show proof of ownership?

Yes. We ask for identification and a reasonable link between you and the safe or the property before opening it.

My keypad safe is dead. Is it the battery?

Often, yes. We replace batteries and test the keypad, and replace the lock if the electronics have failed.

Can you change the combination?

Yes. We reset codes and combinations and make sure you are comfortable with the new one.

Do you work on safes you did not sell?

Yes. We service all common brands whether or not you bought the safe from us.
