Real reviews from Raleigh homeowners, drivers, and businesses we have helped.
“I left my keys in my car late at night in Raleigh. I called and they came out and got me in with no damage at all. Really good help when I needed it.”
“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.”
“Great prices and great work. You won't be disappointed. I will definitely use them again if I need help.”
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.
Before we open a safe, we may ask for proof that it is yours or that you have the right to open it, such as ID showing the address where the safe is kept, or estate paperwork for an inherited safe. It protects you as much as anyone, and any honest locksmith should do it.
We keep the work area tidy, and if drilling is needed, we tell you first and explain how the safe will be repaired afterward.
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.
Whether you want work after opening changes the job. Setting a new combination or replacing a failed lock is extra work, and you hear that price before we start as well.
What went wrong plays a part. A dead keypad or a forgotten combination is often a simpler job than a lock that has failed inside the safe door.
The type of safe and lock matters. A small home safe with a keypad is one thing; a heavy gun safe or a business safe with a high-security lock is another, and it takes more time to open without damage.
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 kind of safe or lock you have, that is normal. Tell us what the safe is doing, or send a photo of the keypad or dial and any brand name, 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.
Replace the batteries with a fresh set of the type the manufacturer specifies, since weak batteries are a common reason a keypad stops responding. If it still will not open, or the override key is missing, call us rather than forcing the door or the keypad.
Proof that the safe is yours or that you have the right to open it, the make and model if you can see them, and when it last opened normally. For an inherited safe, have the estate paperwork available.
