Safe Opening Services in Glendale & the Phoenix Area
Safe Opening Services
A safe that won’t open isn’t just inconvenient, it can mean you’re locked out of documents, cash, or a firearm you need access to. Old Glory Locksmith provides professional safe opening service, day or night, whether the problem is a lost combination or a lock that’s simply stopped working. Our technicians are trained specifically in safe entry, not just standard door locks, so the approach we use depends on the type of lock your safe has.
Mechanical Dial Manipulation
If your safe has a mechanical dial, we can usually open it through manipulation, a skill that involves reading the lock’s internal mechanism by feel rather than forcing it. This gets your safe open without drilling, and it means the lock itself doesn’t need to be replaced afterward.
Electronic Keypad Entry
Electronic keypad locks are a different problem. When the keypad fails or the code is lost, many locksmiths will simply drill and replace the entire lock. We carry the specialized electronic tools needed to open these safes without drilling in many cases, which saves you the cost of a new lock and its installation.
Drilling, When It's Truly Needed
Some situations do call for drilling, such as a badly damaged lock or a safe with no other entry option. When that’s the case, we’ll tell you upfront and drill only what’s necessary, then repair or replace the lock so the safe goes back into service as secure as before.

What Determines How Your Safe Gets Opened
Every safe opening is a little different, so pricing and method depend on a few things:
-
Lock type. Mechanical dial manipulation is often quicker and less expensive than electronic keypad entry.
-
Safe brand and model. Some manufacturers use lock designs that are more time-consuming to work with than others.
-
Condition of the lock. A lock that's simply malfunctioning is usually easier to open than one that's been damaged or tampered with.
-
Whether drilling is required. Non-destructive opening is generally less expensive than drilling and lock replacement.
We'll ask about your safe's type and condition on the phone and give you a quote before we come out, then confirm it again before starting any work.
