Drill-and-Rekey — When Manipulation Isn't Viable

When manipulation isn't viable, drill-and-rekey becomes the swift and effective solution. This method is essential when dealing with worn or seized mechanisms that resist traditional manipulation.

We begin by verifying your identity and lawful authority to meet compliance and security. Once confirmed, we assess your safe's make, model, age, and condition to determine the best approach.

Drill-and-rekey is our go-to when time is of the essence or manipulation isn't feasible. It's a precise process involving careful drilling to access the lock, followed by rekeying or replacing it entirely, so your safe remains secure.

We meticulously document each step with photographs, providing you with written certification for insurance and probate records.

This method is efficient, typically completed within 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the safe type. By opting for drill-and-rekey, you get a quick resolution without compromising on security.
