Safes are a great way to keep your valuables secure and away from prying eyes. But sometimes, they can be locked out of reach and need to be opened by a professional. Luckily, there are many ways to open a safe without damaging it in the process.
Here at Safety Locksmith, we provide reliable safe opening services to residential and commercial clients in Miami & surrounding areas.
Deadbolts
There are many ways to secure a home or building, but deadbolts are one of the cheapest and most effective. They add an extra layer of security to a door that can protect your property from burglars and other trespassers.
A deadbolt lock consists of a bolt that cannot be opened by anyone other than the owner, which means you can keep it locked at all times. It’s also very strong, so a determined intruder wouldn’t be able to kick it in or force it open.
There are a number of different styles of deadbolts, including single-cylinder and dual-cylinder locks. Depending on your needs, we can recommend the right deadbolt for you.
Keyed locks
A key lock is one of the oldest and most common types of locking mechanisms found in safes. It is also relatively simple to maintain and may last longer than an electronic lock.
There are many different types of keys, including cylinder locks and double-bit key locks. Cylinder locks are primarily used for key boxes and some fire-resistant safes, while double-bit key locks are more suitable for burglar-resistant safes.
A change key is required to change the combination of a lock, and it should only be used by an authorised person. In addition, the key should never be left unattended.
Combination locks
Combination locks are a convenient way to keep your belongings safe. They require a secret code to open, which is much harder to crack than a key.
They are most often used for storing luggage and other valuables. They are also common on shed doors and other secure areas of the home.
Usually, these locks have a series of numbered dials that you turn to open them. This makes it easy for you to find the right combination if you have any trouble.
They are also a great choice for those who don’t want to worry about losing their keys or having them stolen. They are also a lot more difficult to break into than a standard padlock.
Magnetic locks
Magnetic locks, or maglocks, are a great way to increase security at home and in commercial buildings. They work by using an electromagnet that attracts an armature plate, which holds the door closed.
They can be triggered by a keypad or card reader, or they can be set to open in the case of an emergency or power failure (fail-safe). The holding force ranges from 600 pounds to 1,200 pounds.
Capitol Industries offers four models of magnetic padlocks, with stainless steel and boron alloy shackles. The M-8000 and M-8030 have 316 stainless steel shackles, while the M-8002 and M-8032 have boron alloy ones.
Digital locks
Digital locks are a great option for people who want to reduce the risk of burglary or vandalism. They are easy to install and can be used with a variety of different security systems.
Unlike traditional locks, digital ones don’t require physical keys to unlock them. Some of them even use biometrics or Bluetooth technology to connect with a smartphone.
These locks are a great option for businesses and offices, as they allow multiple users to access cabinets and storage units without the need for physical keys. They also make it easier to track who accessed which lockers at what time.
