Quick Answer

Triton Locksmith open safes you've lost the combination to ($95-$200) and install new home and gun safes ($150-$350). Most safe openings take 30-60 minutes without drilling. If drilling is needed, we discuss it with you first.

How Do We Open a Locked Safe?

Manipulation first, drilling only as a last resort. Most residential safes can be opened by feeling for the gate positions on the combination wheels. It takes patience and experience, but it leaves the safe fully functional. We've been opening safes for over 15 years.

Electronic safes with dead batteries are even simpler. Most have an external battery terminal or override key slot. We carry 9V batteries and override keys for SentrySafe, Honeywell, First Alert, and most other consumer brands.

What Kind of Safes Do We Install?

Fire safes, burglary safes, gun safes, wall safes, and floor safes. We sell and install models from SentrySafe, Liberty Safe, Honeywell, and Steelwater. Fire ratings range from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Burglary ratings go from B-rate to TL-30.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a home structure fire occurs every 93 seconds in the US. A 1-hour fire-rated safe protects documents, cash, and electronics through most residential fires.
