Safes
A home safe stops opening for ordinary reasons. The code was changed and not written down, the batteries died and the override key is inside the safe, the handle turns but nothing retracts, or it belonged to someone who has passed away and nobody knows the combination.
Most of them can be opened without destroying the safe. We come look at the make and the model first, because a SentrySafe and a proper gun safe are not remotely the same job, and tell you then and there what opening it will take.
Mailbox locks
Small job, real headache. A building mailbox with a dead cylinder, a key nobody has, a bank of boxes where the new tenant inherited nothing. We cut new keys or replace the cam lock. If it is a cluster box for the whole building, the manager usually wants every box done at once, which is cheaper per box and far less annoying than doing it one call at a time.
Storage units
You are standing at the unit with the truck rented by the hour and the padlock key is at home in another city. We open it, and we can leave you with a new lock on the spot.
Filing cabinets, desks and lockers
Office furniture locks are their own small world. Tiny wafer cylinders, keys numbered in a code nobody kept. We open them and key them to something you will actually hold onto.
Garage doors
Power is out or the opener has died, and the manual key cylinder on the garage has never been turned since the building went up. That cylinder is usually seized. We open it, free it or replace it, and you get a key that works the next time the power goes.
