Our services
Openings
Our passion and specialty lie in openings. Whether it is a tiny safe in the back of your closet, a gigantic bank vault door, thousands of safe deposit boxes or anything in between. We will get it open and back up and running without damage, guaranteed.
We utilize our intimate knowledge of these mechanisms to first diagnose the issue at hand. Then, before the drill comes out, we go through a process of various techniques to eliminate all other options before making the decision to put the smallest possible hole in it. Of course there are exceptions, but the vast majority of issues can be resoled through a single hole.
Once the unit is open, we repair our hole, clean out the internal mechanism and, address the issue that caused the lock out. Before buttoning it up we check the remainder of the mechanism for things like loose fasteners or friction points in need of lubrication. Also, if we encounter anything that could become a problem in the future we will walk you through the how and why.
Installation and Removal
So, you bought a safe. Now how to get it to its final resting place? We can help! Whether is 200 pounds or 2 tons our specialized moving and rigging equipment can get it done. If it needs to be moved across the room or across the state, no problem.
Sometimes your storage needs are quite a bit larger. You don’t just need a tiny box but a whole room for your treasure! We can help there too! Every part of the process, from help picking out the door all the way to final installation.
You’ve got a safe that needs to come out instead? Maybe a vault door that’s in the way of your renovations? Removal and disposal, no problem.
Repair & Maintenance
Did someone snap the handle off your safe or vault? Or maybe that drawer on your GSA file container just doesn’t fit right anymore. How about those bearings on your 60-ton nuclear radiation shield door, have they been serviced recently?
Over time grease gets hard, gravity and friction take their toll, and things just get straight up dirty. The time to call us is when you begin to notice the operation of your equipment just isn’t quite right. For example, the dial or handle takes more effort to turn, or the door needs a bit more umph to open and close. The best time to fix an issue (and least expensive!) is before you get locked out. So let us give your investment some TLC before it up and quits on you.
Antiques
The older the better! Our love for safes and vaults extends way back into the past. We have amassed an extensive collection of antique safe and vault parts over the course of many years. We may be able to save you the expense of a new safe or vault by being able to replace that one little part you need.
