Safe Locksmith in Fairless Hills, PA

Safes that outlast their owners

Fairless Hills went up in a short span, so many of its streets are lined with houses of the same age and style. Houses that old have often passed from the original owners to their children, or been sold, cleaned out and sold again. That's how a lot of safes get stranded: the person who knew the combination is gone, and the safe is still sitting in the basement or the back of a closet.

Older dial safes are the classic version of this, but newer keypad safes and gun safes end up in the same spot when the code was never shared.

Safe work in Fairless Hills

• Inherited safes from a parent's or grandparent's house
• Lost combinations on dial and keypad safes
• Gun safes with dead keypads or lost combinations
• Combination changes when the house or the safe changes hands
• Lost safe keys on key-locked safes and boxes

Before you call: a quick checklist

1. Search for the combination. Desk drawers, address books, the back of the safe's manual, envelopes taped under drawers.
2. Look for a brand name. It's usually on the door or a small plate. Photograph it.
3. Note the lock type. Dial, keypad, key or a mix. Some safes have two locks.
4. Don't force it. No prying, no hammering and never cut the hinges.

Then text or email Mike the photos. The more he knows ahead of time, the better he can plan the visit.
