What to tell us

- The lock: dial, keypad, or key
- What happened: combination lost, keypad dead or beeping, key lost, or the handle won't turn
- A photo helps — text it to (954) 287-8377
How safes get opened
- Electronic keypad: often a battery or a failed keypad. We try power and override options first.
- Dial: manipulation (listening and feeling the lock) where possible.
- Key: picking or decoding the lock.
- Drilling only when there's no other way — at a precise point, repairable afterward. You approve it first.
What sets the price
The quote depends on:
- The lock. A keypad with a dead battery is usually the quickest; a lost dial combination on a heavier safe takes the longest.
- The safe's build. A light fire box opens differently from a burglary-rated or gun safe with a hardplate behind the lock.
- Where it sits — bolted to a closet floor or set into a wall.
- Whether drilling is needed, and whether you want a new lock or keypad afterward. You get the number on the phone. If the safe on site turns out to be different from the description, you hear the new number before any work. Turn it down and you owe nothing.
Safes we work on
Home and gun safes with a dial or a keypad — SentrySafe, Liberty, Cannon, Fort Knox and similar — plus small commercial safes such as a store's drop safe. We also replace keypads and bolt safes down to the floor. We don't move safes, and vault doors are outside what we do.
Before you call: two things to try
- Keypad dark or beeping? Replace the battery. Many keypads take a 9-volt or AA batteries behind the keypad cover, and some have outside battery contacts for exactly this. Check the manual for your model.
- Look for an override key. Many home safes come with a backup key behind a small cover near the keypad or the brand logo. Don't force the handle; a jammed bolt can turn a simple opening into a drilling job.
Opening step by step
- Ownership check, and a look at the lock and how the safe is mounted.
- The non-destructive route first: power, override, manipulation or picking, depending on the lock.
- Only if those fail, a small, precise drill point — with your approval and the price already agreed. Say no to drilling and the opening attempt costs you nothing.
- Repair: the hole is covered with a hardened plate and the lock reset or replaced.
After it's open
We can reset the combination, replace the keypad or lock, and show you how to change the code yourself.
Proof of ownership
We open safes only for the owner — a receipt, a document that matches the address, or the owner present with ID. For an inherited safe, the estate paperwork.
Safes in Sunrise homes and offices
Three situations to plan for: a closet safe in a Sunrise Lakes condo whose combination went with a former owner, a gun safe in a Welleby or Sawgrass Estates house whose keypad stopped answering, or a drop safe in a store at Sawgrass Mills or an office on Sawgrass Corporate Pkwy. For a safe in a condo unit, the owner has to be there or authorize it; we don't open a resident's safe at the request of building staff. For businesses, see our commercial locksmith page.
Common questions
Can you open a gun safe?
Yes, with proof of ownership. Tell us the brand on the phone.
Can you open a hotel or rental safe?
Only at the request of the property owner or manager.
Will the safe still work?
In most non-destructive openings, yes. After drilling, a hardened plate goes over the hole and the lock is replaced if needed.
I bought a house in Sunrise and the safe came with it — can you open it?
Yes, with your closing documents and ID. Then change the combination, since the previous owner may still know it. Moving in? See new homeowners.
