A safe that won't open is a special kind of stressful. The whole point of a safe is to keep things secure, but when you can't get it open, that security quickly becomes a problem.
Whether it's lost safe combinations, seized safe locks, jammed bolt work, an inherited safe with no keys, lost keys, lost combination or a dead safe battery we can help get the safe unlocked.
Safe opening, often referred to as safe cracking, is specialist work that many general locksmiths won't take on however Lockstar Locksmiths can help. Wherever possible, we use careful, non destructive safe cracking techniques to open the safe while preserving it for continued use.
Once it's open, we can also take care of safe repairs and servicing to address the underlying problem and help prevent you from being locked out again.
Safes cracked, safes repaired and safes serviced are available Victoria wide.

Safe work
The dial, and what's behind it
Every safe job starts at the dial or the keypad — and ends with a safe that still locks.
Safe brands we open, repair and service
If it has a dial or a keypad, we have had one open
Australian and international safes, and the safe locks inside them. If yours isn't here it doesn't mean we can't open it — call and describe what you have.
The craft
Opened with skill, not a grinder
Anyone with an angle grinder can destroy a safe. The craft is in opening one so it lives to lock another day — reading the mechanism, working the dial, and knowing when each technique applies. That's the job. It's why safe work is priced on the job, quoted upfront, and done once.
Common questions
Good to know
Will opening damage my safe?
The aim is always a clean opening that leaves the safe repairable and back in service. Where a safe does have to be opened forcefully, we'll explain why first — no surprises.
Do you really travel all of Victoria?
For safe work, yes. It's specialist enough that people are welcome to call from anywhere in the state.
Can you prove I own the safe?
We'll ask for ID and reasonable evidence the safe is yours to open — the same professional standard as any entry work. Honest owners never mind the question.
