Safe Opening & Installation in Vancouver
We open, service, supply and install home and commercial safes across Vancouver without damaging what’s inside them — every job by a licensed locksmith at a fixed, upfront price. The Vancouver Locksmith is fully mobile, open 24/7, and reaches most of Greater Vancouver in about 20 minutes.
Safe work, from a jammed dial to a fresh install
A safe only earns its keep if you can trust it to open when you need it and stay shut when you don’t. When a combination goes missing, a keypad dies or a bolt jams, the wrong locksmith reaches for a grinder and turns a recoverable lockout into a scrapped safe with damaged contents. We work the other way around — manipulation and non-destructive techniques first, so most home and commercial safes open with the cash, documents, firearms and heirlooms inside untouched.
We look after the whole life of a safe: opening it, resetting its combination, servicing worn locks, supplying and anchoring a new one, and moving a heavy safe when you relocate. Every job is carried out by a BC-licensed locksmith, quoted upfront with no after-hours markup, and left working properly. Below are the safe services we’re called for most — pick the one that matches your situation.
What we handle for safes in Vancouver
Safe Opening
We open home and commercial safes after a lost combination, failed dial or dead keypad — manipulation first, controlled drilling only as a last resort — then restore the safe to working order.
View service →Combination Changes
We reset combinations on mechanical dial and electronic safe locks and add or remove user codes — essential after buying a used safe, a staff change or a code you think has been compromised.
View service →Safe Repair & Servicing
We service and repair safe locks — slipping dials, dead electronic keypads, jammed bolt-work and tripped relockers — so you keep the safe you already own instead of replacing it.
View service →Safe Supply & Installation
We advise on, supply, deliver and anchor the right home, office, gun or fire safe — bolted down for real burglary resistance and matched to what you’re protecting and the fire rating you need.
View service →Safe Moving & Anchoring
We relocate heavy home and commercial safes within or between premises with the right equipment, then re-anchor and bolt them down properly at the destination.

Identify the safe
We check the make, model and lock type — dial or digital — and what’s gone wrong, so we pick the right non-destructive method for your exact safe.
Fixed quote, then open
You approve an upfront price before any work — and if drilling is the only route, we quote and explain that first. We manipulate or bypass the lock to get you in.
Restore & reset
We repair any entry point, reset the combination to codes only you hold, and confirm the safe locks and opens reliably before we leave.
Opened without wrecking the safe
We’re fully mobile, so there’s nothing to haul in and no counter to visit — a licensed tech and a stocked van come to your home or business, usually within about 20 minutes for anything urgent, any hour of the day. We manipulate and bypass before we ever consider drilling, quote a fixed price before we start, and leave you with a safe that still works and a combination only you know. No call-out surprises, no after-hours markup.

Safe questions, answered
Most of the time, yes. We start with manipulation and non-destructive techniques, which open the majority of home and commercial safes with nothing harmed inside. If a safe genuinely has to be drilled — a failed relocker or hardened lock — we tell you first, quote it, drill a controlled precision hole that a locksmith can repair, and never touch what’s stored inside.
Absolutely. This is one of the most common calls we get. We open the safe, then reset the combination to a brand-new code that only you hold — so whatever the previous owner or a former employee knew no longer opens it. Changing the code after buying any second-hand safe is strongly recommended.
Usually not. A dead electronic keypad is most often flat batteries or a failed keypad, not a failed safe. We can often get you in by replacing the battery pack or bypassing the keypad, then service or swap the electronic lock so it’s reliable again. If the mechanism itself is jammed, we’ll diagnose that on site.
We do. We’ll help you choose a home, office, gun or fire safe that suits what you’re protecting and the fire rating you need, then deliver it and anchor it to the floor or wall. A safe that isn’t bolted down can simply be carried off — proper anchoring is what makes it burglary-resistant.
