The work and handover

Lost safe key opening: questions and answers

Can a new key simply be supplied from a photograph?

A photograph can help identify the safe but does not establish that a working key can be produced. The lock and authorisation need checking.

Should the lock be changed after a safe key is lost?

That depends on who could hold the key and the required security. Discuss the risk and suitable options with the engineer.

What affects the quotation for lost safe key opening?

Safe identification, opening work and any new keys or lock changes contribute to the quotation. A quotation should confirm the agreed scope, any parts and charges before work is arranged.
