Safe Opening & Installation
$95 - $350 | 30-90 minutes | Available 24/7
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.
Common Questions
How much does it cost to open a locked safe?
Standard combination safe opening runs $95-$150. Electronic safes with dead batteries run $95-$125 (usually just a battery issue). High-security safes that require drilling run $150-$200.
Will you damage my safe opening it?
We try not to. Over 80% of our safe openings are non-destructive. If drilling is the only option, we'll explain why and get your approval before making any holes. We can also repair the drill point afterward.
What size safe do you recommend for a home?
For documents and valuables, a 1-hour fire-rated safe in the 1.2-2.0 cubic foot range. For guns, a proper gun safe bolted to the floor. We'll help you pick the right size based on what you're storing.
Can you change the combination on my safe?
Yes. If you know the current combination and want it changed, that's $65-$95. If you don't know the current combination, we open it first and then reset it.
Do you bolt safes to the floor?
Yes, and you should. An unbolted safe can be carried out by two people. We drill into concrete or wood subfloor and anchor the safe with lag bolts. Included in our installation price.
