Locked Safe Opening

A safe that won't open is stressful — especially when you need what's inside right now. Whether the mechanism jammed, you've forgotten the code, or the lock simply gave out, we've dealt with every version of this problem. Our technicians work across Brussels and the entire Brabant region and can usually get your safe open without any damage to the contents.

We work with all types of safe locking systems:

  • Key-operated safes — opening in case of a lost key or a seized lock
  • Mechanical combination safes — reset or manipulation of the dial mechanism
  • Electronic safes — keypad failure, flat battery, forgotten PIN code
  • Biometric safes — fingerprint reader malfunction or sensor issues

Our team masters non-destructive opening techniques to preserve the integrity of your safe. We work with brands such as Fichet, Bricard, Picard, Mul-T-Lock and many others. This is a service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays.

Safe Installation

Protecting your valuables, important documents or cash starts with choosing and installing the right safe. We guide you through selecting the ideal model and carry out an installation that complies with Belgian security and insurance standards.

Domestic Safes

For your home in Brussels, we install freestanding safes as well as models that bolt to the floor or wall. Our technicians advise you on the volume, security level and locking type best suited to your needs — key, electronic code or mechanical combination.

Fireproof Safes

A fireproof safe protects your documents, digital media and precious items against fire damage. We supply certified models offering fire resistance from 30 to 120 minutes, meeting the requirements set by Belgian insurance companies.

Wall-Mounted Safes

A wall-mounted or recessed safe offers maximum discretion. Our team handles the wall cutting, fitting and sealing of the safe according to best practice. This type of installation is particularly well suited to Brussels apartments and houses where space is limited.

Professional Safes

Shops, offices, pharmacies, hotels and restaurants — we install professional-grade safes that meet European resistance classes. We offer tailored solutions:

  • Deposit safes with a slot for retail cash handling
  • Security cabinets for the secure filing of sensitive documents
  • Key safes for centralised access management
  • Certified safes rated to EN 1143-1 classes as required by insurers

Repair and Maintenance

A safe requires regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation over time. Our technicians provide repair and preventive maintenance for your safe anywhere in Brussels and Brabant.

Our repair and maintenance services cover:

  • Lock replacement — upgrading from a key lock to an electronic or biometric system
  • Combination change — resetting the code after a move or a change of staff
  • Lubrication and adjustment — servicing bolts, hinges and internal mechanisms
  • Battery replacement — for electronic safes, before a complete power failure
  • Security upgrade — reinforcing an existing safe with components from trusted brands such as Fichet, Vachette or Mul-T-Lock

Frequently asked questions

Can you open a safe if I lost the code?
Yes, we open safes without destruction in 90% of cases. Techniques: manipulation, electronic decoding, targeted drilling if necessary. Bring proof of ownership (purchase invoice, notarial deed, etc.). From our experience, most domestic safes are electronic models that we can reopen via decoding in 30 to 60 minutes without leaving any trace.
How do I get a quote for safe opening?
Call us at 0495 205 400 with your safe's model and brand. We give you an immediate estimate. The price depends on the safe's security level. If you can send us a photo of the safe's front panel (brand, model, keypad type), even better — it helps us prepare the specific tools needed.
Do you install safes?
Yes, we sell and install built-in and freestanding safes: fireproof, EN 1143-1 certified, all capacities. Personalized advice based on your needs. We always recommend a built-in safe anchored to the wall or floor — a freestanding safe under 500 kg can simply be carried away. We handle professional anchoring to ensure optimal security.
My safe is blocked but I have the right code, what should I do?
Several possible causes: weak battery, seized mechanism, break-in attempt. Call us, our technician diagnoses and repairs on site. From experience, 8 out of 10 times it is simply dead batteries. On electronic safes, the membrane keypad can also degrade over time: the internal contacts oxidise or delaminate, preventing the code from reaching the control circuit even when you enter the correct combination. Tip before calling: press a 9V battery directly onto the emergency contact (two small metal terminals located under or beside the keypad). This temporarily powers the electronics and lets you enter your code to open. If that does not work, the issue is mechanical and requires our intervention — expect roughly 30 to 90 minutes on site depending on the model and type of blockage.
