Safe Opening · New City, NY
Locked out of your safe? Call me first.
Lost the combination, the keypad went dark, or the handle turns and nothing moves. I open home, gun, fire and commercial safes, and I start with the least invasive method that will work.
Don't pry or force it. That usually makes the job harder and more expensive.
When to call me
- You forgot or lost the combination
- The electronic keypad is dead, beeping or showing an error
- You lost the key to a key-lock safe
- The handle turns but the bolts won't retract
- You inherited or bought a safe nobody can open
- You're locked out of a gun safe or a fire safe
How I handle it
Step 1: You call me directly
Tell me the make, the lock type and what happened. I'll tell you the price before I start.
Step 2: I find the cause
I check whether it's the lock, the battery, the boltwork or the combination itself. Sometimes it's a simple fix.
Step 3: I open it with precision
I use the least invasive method that will work. If drilling is needed, I explain why before I start.
Step 4: You're back in
I show you what failed. If you want, I change the combination or replace the lock on the spot.

Questions about Safe Opening
Can you open a safe without the combination?
Yes. Opening safes when the combination or key is lost is a big part of what I do. The method depends on the lock and the safe, and I'll explain it before I start.
Will my safe be damaged?
My goal is minimal to no damage. I always start with the least invasive method. When drilling is the only way in, I keep it precise so the safe can be repaired and used again.
My keypad is dead. Is it just the battery?
Sometimes. A dead battery or a corroded battery contact is a common cause, and it's the first thing I check. If the keypad or lock has failed, I open the safe and replace the lock.
How fast can you get here?
Call me directly at (845) 222-9610. I'm available 24/7, and I'll give you a realistic arrival time on the phone.
Do you open gun safes?
Yes. I open gun safes with electronic and mechanical locks across Rockland, Bergen and Westchester.
