Safes for Frankford Avenue businesses

From the Frankford Transportation Center at the end of the El down through the avenue's older blocks, Frankford's business strip is mostly small, owner-run shops. A lot of them keep cash in a drop safe or an under-counter safe, and when one of those stops opening, the business can't make change, can't do its deposit and can't close out the day.

That's the kind of equipment Mike knows best. His background is in banking and retail cash equipment: deposit safes, under-counter steel, ATMs and teller cash recyclers. On a typical store job, he installs the new parts and services the safe so it's working good as new.

What Mike handles for Frankford businesses

• Drop, deposit and under-counter safes that won't open
• Code changes when an employee or manager leaves
• Keypad repair and replacement, or swapping a worn dial for a keypad
• Drilling and repair when a lock has failed for good, so the safe goes back into service
• ATM safe service
• Panic bars and door closers, plus storefront and back door locks

Opened, then back in service

For a business, opening the safe is only half the job. The safe at the top of this page was opened and fitted with a new lock and keypad on the lower door so the store could keep using it. When a lock has failed once, replacing it on the spot beats waiting for it to fail again on a busy day.

Home safes in Frankford

Behind the avenue, Frankford is rowhomes, many of them old. Mike opens home and gun safes with lost combinations or dead keypads, and he works on older safes that came with the house.

What customers say

Victor's review is about a car key, not a safe, but it shows how Mike works when other locksmiths turn a job down:
