Safe Types We Open Across South-East London

Accessing a variety of safes across South-East London, we tackle everything from mechanical key-only safes to modern biometric models.

Mechanical key-only safes, such as heritage Chubb or John Tann models, often hide in the cellars of Greenwich Victorian terraces, their keys long lost. We carefully open these safes, preserving their historical value.

Our expertise extends to mechanical combination dial safes like the Chubb Manifoil, found in Camberwell studies. We open these through lawful manipulation or drilling and re-keying.

For electronic keypad safes, including models from Burton and Phoenix, we use lawful override techniques, ensuring secure access.

Biometric and time-delay safes, common in high-spec Bermondsey Street boutiques, require documentation and coordination with manufacturers.

Finally, built-in floor and wall safes in period properties around Greenwich and Camberwell present unique challenges, demanding a respectful approach to maintain their heritage status.

We’re opening these safes with precision and care.

By working closely with manufacturers, we gain access to authorized override procedures and tools, minimizing the risk of damage. This collaboration not only safeguards the contents but also upholds the warranty and functionality of the safe.
