Safe work we take on
Six of the jobs that bring people to the safe bench, and what happens on each.
Combination changes
Bought a used safe, or the only person who knew the combination has left? We change it to a combination you choose and test it with the door open before we shut it. If the paperwork and the dial do not agree, that is normal for a secondhand safe, and it is exactly the job we do.
Lost combination
There is usually a way in that is not drilling. Where drilling is the only option we do it in the right place, on purpose, and repair the hole afterwards so the safe still works.
Repairs
Handles, bolt work, hinges and locks that have stopped throwing cleanly. A safe that has become hard to open is telling you something before it stops opening at all.
Where we stop
We service many common safes. Some high security and specialty models need a safe specialist, and when yours is one of them we say so and point you at the right person instead of practicing on it.
Gun safes
Gun safes are a common call, usually a dial that has drifted, an electronic lock that has died, or a safe bought used with no combination. We change the combination to one you choose and test it with the door open before it closes. Where the lock has failed we get in with the least damage the safe allows and repair it.
Safe deposit and small locks
Safe deposit box keys, cash boxes, toolbox and cabinet locks, the small things that still matter. Bring those to the counter and they are usually quick. For anything built into the building or too heavy to move, we come to you across Johnson County.
How a safe call goes
What happens from the first call to the moment the door closes again.
First, tell us what you have
First you call or text. Tell us the make of the safe and what it is doing, a dial that has drifted, an electronic lock that has died, no combination at all, or a bolt that will not throw. The make and the symptom usually tell us what you are looking at before we are on site.
Then we come to the safe, or you bring it in
Most safes are not going anywhere, so we come to you across Johnson County and do the work where the safe sits. You do not have to move a gun safe or a floor safe to get it opened, serviced or recombinated. If it is a small safe or a cash box you would rather carry in, the counter on N Ridgeview Rd works too.
Next, we open it the least invasive way
We get in with the method that does the least to the safe, and drilling is the last resort, not the first. If drilling is genuinely the only way, we tell you before we start, not after, and we repair the hole afterwards so the safe still works.
Finally, we test it with the door open
Before we hand it back we set the new combination with you and test that it opens on the new number with the door open, so a wrong setting is a quick fix and never a locked box.
Safe locksmith questions, answered
A few of the things people ask before they call us about a safe.
Most of the time, yes. There is usually a way in that is not drilling, and that is always what we try first. When drilling is the only option we do it in the right place on purpose, and we repair the hole afterwards so the safe still works.
That is one of our most common calls. We change it to a combination you choose and test it with the door open before we shut it, so a wrong setting is a quick fix instead of a locked box.
Yes, on most common gun safes, whether it is a dial that has drifted or an electronic lock that has died. If yours is a high security model that needs a safe specialist, we will tell you rather than practice on it.
No. The shop is on N Ridgeview Rd in Olathe, and we run mobile service across Johnson County, so we come to the safe where it sits. If it is a small safe or a cash box you would rather bring in, the counter works too.
Why Olathe calls us for safes
Safe work is the job a lot of locksmiths refer out, so a family owned shop in Olathe that actually does it, with a counter you can walk into on N Ridgeview Rd, is harder to find than it should be. We would rather tell you a job needs a specialist than take it on and learn on your safe. You get the straight answer, and when it is ours to do, the work happens where the safe already sits.
