bwells Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 i was asked today if i was able to make a key from scratch for a floor safe as the customer has just bought the premises and wants to use the safe but previous owner had died so no keys available,as i only copy keys i was wondering if anybody could give me any info or should i just leave it alone thanks in advance.

Mick Friend Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 also if the safe is open or closed = makes a difference in price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hibsjo(SCO) Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 been to a couple of these recently (not fort knox ones tho) picked the first one in under an hour, was in a cupboard, very difficult picking position however had to drill next one spent three hours in total on it but very satisfying, customer said NO ONE would even come and look at it before me! get a lock from fort knox safes (wont be much) and put it on the bench and pick it open (most use a seven lever lock)then go to safe and do the same or find drill point and then do the same on safe in floor, then youll known for the next time oh by the way you want to charge in the region of £300 for this type of work!(cheap) carry on!

Guest Lock N Safe Buddy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Pick using a 2 in 1 pick. Fort Knox have gone outta business, so you will have to make keys to lock. Charge what you can but dont go below £150 because well........thats just being silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabusloks Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 export the service to someone like http://www.electronicsafe.org.uk/ they do third party business so it will appear as if you had been responsible for the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Friend Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Almost any MLA approved compny should be able to do it and many of the established locksmiths as well, but beware the nightmare two day driller killers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
