Safe Opening Services — Locked Out Without Damage
Forgotten combination, dead battery, lost key, or a safe left behind by a previous tenant — ASK Locksmith opens residential and commercial safes across NYC, using non-destructive methods whenever the safe's construction allows it. We service depository safes, gun safes, fireproof document safes, and floor and wall safes for homes and businesses.
Combination Safe Opening
Mechanical dial safes can be opened by manipulation or, when manipulation isn't possible, by precision drilling at a calculated entry point. Our technicians are trained on a wide range of dial and combination lock mechanisms and always attempt the least invasive method first.
Electronic & Digital Safe Opening
Keypad and electronic safes fail for a few common reasons: dead backup battery, a forgotten code, or a faulty circuit board. We diagnose the issue on-site — often a battery swap or reset solves it without ever opening the lock body — and move to a professional bypass only when necessary.
Key & Lost-Key Safes
Lost or broken safe keys are picked, impressioned, or drilled depending on the lock type, with new keys cut on the spot whenever possible. Many key-locking safes can be reset to accept a fresh key once opened.
Commercial & Residential Brands We Service
SentrySafe, Sentry, AMSEC, Liberty, Cannon, Honeywell, First Alert, Mesa, and most other major depository, gun, and document safe brands found in NYC homes and businesses.
How It Works
-
Tell Us About Your Safe
Call (212) 840-6200 or use our contact form. Let us know the brand, lock type (dial, electronic, or key), and what's happening — we'll dispatch the right technician with the right tools.
-
On-Site Diagnosis
Your technician inspects the safe and identifies the fastest non-destructive path to open it — manipulation, bypass, or battery/circuit fix — before resorting to drilling.
-
Opened & Reset
We open the safe, confirm your contents are intact, and where possible reset the combination or program a new code so you're back in business immediately.
Safe Opening FAQ
-
In most cases, yes. We always attempt manipulation or an electronic bypass first. Drilling is only used as a last resort when the lock mechanism leaves no other option, and we'll explain why before proceeding.
-
Yes. Forgotten combinations are one of the most common calls we get. Our technicians can open most dial and electronic safes through manipulation or bypass and help you set a new combination you'll remember.
-
We service most major residential and commercial brands, including SentrySafe, AMSEC, Liberty, Cannon, Honeywell, First Alert, and Mesa. Tell us your brand and model when you call so we bring the right tools.
-
Cost depends on the lock type and method required — electronic bypass and combination manipulation are typically less than drilling. We diagnose the safe on-site and quote the full price before doing any work.
