High Security Locks
High security work is partly hardware and partly bookkeeping. The hardware resists tools. The bookkeeping, a numbered key register and a patented keyway, resists the quieter risk of a copy made without your knowledge.
Which one do I need?
- A customer's rifle safe at the range has a dial that simply will not respond to the combination written on the sales receipt from years ago.Safe Opening & Combination Change
- A dinner service ends with a stack of bills and a handful of credit slips, and right now they sit in an unlocked cash box on a shelf until morning, because nobody has gotten around to anything sturdier.Safe Installation & Servicing
- You jiggle the key a little and the old deadbolt opens even when the cut does not look quite right.High Security Locks
High Security Locks
Cylinders and deadbolts built to resist picking, bumping and drilling, keys that cannot be copied without authorisation, and safes opened or installed.
Safe Opening & Combination Change
Looking for a relocker or prior damage
Some safes include a relocker, a small device built to jam the bolt work until a trained technician services it, if the case is drilled in the wrong place, dropped, or exposed to fire. The locksmith looks for pry marks, drill attempts, scorching or a history of the safe being moved or dropped, since any of these can explain a lock that suddenly refuses a combination that worked yesterday. Recognizing a tripped relocker early changes the plan: the fix is mechanical, freeing or replacing the relocking mechanism, rather than another attempt at the original combination or a straightforward reset.
