Types of Safes We Open in Durham
Our Durham safe technicians have the tools and training to open virtually any type of safe, including digital safes, floor safes, deposit boxes, high-security vaults, wall safes, antique safes. The warm Southern California sun and occasional Santa Ana winds can warp door frames and affect lock alignment over time, which can affect safe lock mechanisms — especially older models without climate-resistant seals.
Our Safe Opening Methods
We use a range of professional techniques to open your safe, always starting with the least invasive approach:
- Scoping — using a borescope to view internal lock components and determine the combination
- Lock manipulation — the preferred non-destructive method where our technician carefully decodes the lock combination
- Lock drilling — precision drilling at specific points when manipulation isn\’t possible, followed by lock replacement
- Key impressioning — creating a working key for key-operated safes
