An inherited safe with no combination, a dial that has drifted, a keypad that stopped responding: each has a proper way in that preserves the box. We open, service and reset safes for homes and small businesses in Greenhill, and explain how to keep the mechanism turning for the next owner.

Businesses with pharmacies, records, cash or controlled stock need doors that hold under attack and keys that cannot be duplicated on a whim. The high security page covers cylinders, strikes, key systems and safes for those rooms, and how they fit alongside an alarm.
Layer 1The key
After the attempted break-in the police officer pointed at your door and said the strike plate was held by two short screws. Nobody got in, but you have looked at that door differently every evening since.
Layer 2The cylinder
Three teenagers, a dog walker, a cleaner and one house key that keeps going missing. You are tired of cutting copies and would rather give each person a code you can switch off, with a proper deadbolt behind it.
Layer 3The bolt and strike
You bought a keypad deadbolt online and pulled the old one off, only to find the hole in the door is a different size and the bolt latch sits at a backset the new kit does not list. The door is now open and the box is on the counter.
Layer 4The door and frame
The patio slider is sitting crooked on its track. Its latch is snapped, the frame is bowed where it was pried, and the panel no longer meets the jamb, so the house cannot be closed up for the night.

Request a visitIt is rare, and it is discussed before anything changes. A glued, jammed or corroded-in fragment can usually still be reached by taking the cylinder off the door and working the plug out from the back. If even that fails, the cylinder is drilled where plug meets housing, sacrificed and replaced on the spot with new keys cut, so the door locks normally by the time the locksmith leaves.
The part that resists force is the same: a steel bolt, a solid strike with long screws and a door that closes true. Smart deadbolts meet the same residential hardware standards as mechanical ones, and a reinforced strike goes in regardless of which you choose. Where a smart lock adds is on the human side: codes that can be revoked and a door that locks itself, plus, on a key-free model, no keys to copy or lose. Good habits, such as unique codes and updates, keep the electronic side tidy.
Yes, either during the same visit or afterward, as long as it is cut from the new cylinder's combination rather than copied from an already-worn key. Cutting it while the locksmith is present avoids a second stop at a hardware store and confirms the spare works before anyone relies on it.
Yes, on an electronic keypad that supports multiple users, each person can be given a separate code rather than everyone sharing one, which also makes it simple to remove a single code later without resetting the whole lock. A mechanical dial lock, by contrast, has one combination for everyone who needs it, so a change in who has access there means changing that one combination.
