What Is Safe Opening Norwich

Safe Opening Norwich, Overview

So what is safe opening in Norwich and why would you possibly need it? Safe opening in Norwich is by definition to open a cash safe that is locked shut with no means of opening the safe. This can be caused by numerous events such as losing the key, forgetting the combination to your safe, the key breaking, a lever spring wearing or breaking inside the lock, the key just wearing out, the lock wearing out, batteries going flat, re-locking devices going off, attempted break ins, operator error, combination lock fly wheels breaking, combination lock dial coming off, bolt work on the safe breaking the list goes on and on. So what do you do if you need a safe opening in Norwich. Well the first thing is to find a locksmith that works on safes these are often called safe engineers. What sets these locksmiths apart from a standard locksmith,  is usually the training they have received,  in my experience they start as a regular domestic and commercial locksmith and once they have excelled in this field they move on to safe opening in Norwich. The training is long and arduous and covers any safe on the market now and at any time in the past.
The locks fitted on the safes comprise of anything from a seven to ten lever lock which is at least two more levers than a standard five lever front door lock. Also the levers can be operated by a single or double bitted key, A single bitted key is a key with all the steps on one side a double bitted key has these steps on both sides. With a double bitted key every other lever moves in an opposite direction. This doesn't affect the end user just the safe opening Norwich engineer who's job to pick the lock becomes somewhat more complicated. A safe manufacture developed a single bitted key lock which had multiple bolt stumps. A bolt stump is the part on a lock which has to pass through the gate on a lever. If you think of a maze puzzle the bolt stump would be the pencil you would have to trace along the correct route. So if you can imagine having multiple pencils and mazes all working at the same time you can see how complicated this could be for a safe opening in Norwich locksmith.

Safe Opening In Norwich Engineers Have Better Training

There are two main types of combination lock Mechanical and Electronic, there are more sub groups but they tend to fall into one of these two categories. A mechanical lock has wheels which are driven by fly wheels. Depending on whether they have three or four wheels you dial in which ever direction this dictates. Lets look at a three wheel combination lock you dial four times anti clockwise and stop at your first number, parking the wheel which is driven by the fly wheel, then turning three times clockwise you stop at your second number again parking this wheel at the right point until finally dialling your last number twice anti clockwise parking the third and final wheel in the correct position, then turning the dial clockwise until the lock opens. So as you can see the fly wheel is an important part of the lock and should not be overlooked by the safe opening Norwich engineer.
An Electronic combination works by the end user submitting the correct code via a keypad fitted externally on the safe and a signal is sent to a solenoid inside the safe lock allowing the lock to open. No information is stored in the external keypad, all information is stored behind the safe door. You may get lucky by guessing the safe combination but you only get five attempts before the lock goes into time out mode for five minutes. This means the lock will not except any combination(even the correct code) during this period. After the five minute time out mode you get one more entry, if this is not correct it goes back into time out mode and so on.

So how can a safe opening  in Norwich engineer get your safe open. If there is no damage to your safe i.e. no attempted break in or damage to the lock he may try and pick the lock, Only an experienced safe opening Norwich locksmith will attempt this. He may well decide that it is more cost effective for the customer to drill into the safe to get it open. This is done by having the knowledge of the weak points of the safe and using specialist equipment such as a magnetic drill press and fibre optic scopes to look inside  the safe. This can be a very quick way to achieve a safe opening in Norwich but you must know your safes inside out or you can do more damage than good. When a combination lock is required to be opened again as long as there is no damage to the lock itself your safe opening Norwich locksmith may be able to manipulate the lock open, or he may decide to drill into the safe to achieve the end result of getting the safe open. With an electronic combination you have little chance of manipulation due to the time out mode discussed earlier. the only option is to drill into the safe to bypass the internal locking mechanism of the lock or safe.
