How long will it take your locksmith to help me out of my home lockout?
It takes our locksmiths approximately 25 to 30 minutes to rectify any home lockout situation, but this depends on the type of lock the home uses and the degree of difficulty this poses to our technicians.

Will the contents of my safe be damaged in the process?
The contents of your safe should not be damaged under any circumstance while our safe locksmith is working to unlock the safe. However, there are some instances where the safe locksmith might have to cut into the safe or use other robust methods to attempt to gain entry.

This depends on the nature of your safe (size etc.), so we want to make sure that you are well aware of every possible outcome.
Will my safe be damaged in the process?
In most cases, no. The safe locksmith is trained to use an entry method that will not compromise the integrity of your safe. However, all safes are made differently, and some have features that others do not make use of, so it is very hard to give a general answer to this question. Rest assured that the first method our safe locksmith will employ will not cause any damage to your safe. Some of the other methods employed to unlock a safe might cause some forms of minor cosmetic damage, but these are only used if there is no success using the first few methods.
How long does it take to unlock a safe?
The time it takes to unlock a safe varies based on the type of safe and the experience of the safe locksmith.

Due to these factors, a safe lockout can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. The safe locksmith will let you know how long they expect the process to last. We implore you to be patient with them while they work to get you back into your safe.
Should I attempt to break into my safe by myself?
Unless you are a professionally trained safe locksmith, we advise that you do not attempt to break into your safe. If you attempt to try and break into your safe on your own, you run the risk of damaging it and damaging the contents. We understand just how anointed you can feel when you are locked out of your safe. However, instead of breaking into your safe, reach out to a safe locksmith and they will be there in no time to help get you back into your safe.
What do I do if I’ve lost my keys or forgotten my combination?
In the unfortunate event that you have lost the keys to your safe, or you have forgotten the combination to the safe, make sure that you call a safe locksmith to help you get back into your safe.
