“David was a lifesaver! I locked myself out and he came over, was super friendly, explained what he was doing, and got me back in without any damage.”
“Great service from David! He showed up on time, was very professional, and got the job done. He made the whole process stress-free, and the price was fair too.”

We ask about the safe make, the type of lock, and how it is failing, because a dead keypad, a worn dial, and a lost combination are three different jobs.
We work to open the safe without harming what is inside, and we explain what the opening will involve before we begin.
Once it is open, we can often reset the combination or replace the lock so the safe is usable again, and you hear those costs up front.
Most of the calls we take for safe unlocking fall into a handful of familiar shapes. Here are a few we see often around Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle:
An old floor safe came with the building and nobody on staff knows the code.
A business safe stops opening on a known combination and the dial spins without catching.
A family inherits a safe near North Hills with no combination and important papers locked inside.
A gun safe keypad goes dead and the override key was never kept anywhere obvious.
For lockouts and rekeys on a home, we may ask for proof that you live there or have the right to be on the property. It protects you as much as anyone, and any honest locksmith should do it.
We keep the work area tidy, clean up after a drill or a hardware swap, and leave your door looking like we were never there apart from the lock working better.
We show up in a marked vehicle stocked for the work, so most jobs are handled on site in one visit instead of a parts run and a second appointment.
Where you are and when you call factors in too, and we will give you an honest arrival window for your spot before anyone is committed to anything.
How many doors or locks are involved changes the math. Keying several locks alike in one visit usually works out better per door than calling us back for one lock at a time.
The condition of the door and frame plays a part. A lock that fails because the door has dropped or the strike is chewed up needs that underlying issue fixed, not just the lock swapped.
The type of lock or hardware matters. A basic cylinder is one thing; a high-security or restricted system is another, and the parts cost more because they do more.
What a job costs comes down to a few honest things, and we would rather explain them than hide behind a vague number.
We work on home safes, gun safes, and small business safes, from electronic keypad models to dial combination locks, and we can service or replace the lock once the safe is open.
If you are not sure what you have or what you need, that is normal. Tell us what the door is doing, or send a photo, and we will point you the right way before anyone commits to anything.
We are a mobile locksmith based in Raleigh, which means the work happens where you are. Around the city we get out to ITB neighborhoods, Mordecai, Hayes Barton, and Midtown regularly, and we cover the wider Triangle including Morrisville, Durham, Garner, Knightdale, and Wake Forest.
Because we live and work here, we are used to the doors and hardware common to this area, from older homes inside the beltline to the newer subdivisions and offices going up around the edges of Wake County. That local footing is part of why Safe Unlocking tends to go smoothly rather than turning into a guessing game.
In most cases, yes. We work to get in without harming the safe or its contents, and we explain what the opening will involve before we start.
Often, yes. Once the safe is open we can usually reset the code or replace the lock so the safe is usable again.
