Safe & Vault Locksmith in Savannah, GA
Forgotten combination, dead keypad battery, or a safe you inherited with no idea what the code is? We open, service, and install home and business safes across Savannah without drilling unless it’s genuinely the last option.
What We Handle With Safes
Most safe calls fall into a handful of categories: a combination that’s been forgotten, a dead battery on an electronic keypad model, a dial or bolt mechanism that’s started sticking, or a safe nobody currently living in the house actually knows the code to. We also install new safes, home, gun, document, and small office models, and change combinations when a safe changes hands, like after a move-in, a staff change, or an employee no longer needing access.
Can You Open a Safe Without Damaging It?
In most cases, yes. Mechanical dial safes can usually be manipulated or decoded without any damage, and a lot of electronic keypad lockouts come down to a dead battery, which is a two-minute fix once we’re there. Drilling is a real option for some safes, but it’s one we treat as a last resort and explain to you before doing, not something we jump to because it’s faster for us.
Safe Problems We See in Savannah
Forgotten Combinations
The most common call. We open the safe without destroying it in the large majority of cases, then help you reset a combination you’ll actually remember.
Dead Electronic Keypad Battery
Often mistaken for a bigger problem. We check the battery and the keypad before assuming the lock itself has failed.
Inherited or Unknown-Combination Safes
Bought a house or settled an estate and found a safe nobody has the code for? We can open it and get you a working combination.
New Safe Installation
Home, gun, and small office safes set up and bolted down correctly, not just dropped in a closet.
What About a Safe Built Into an Old Savannah Home?
It comes up more than you’d think. A lot of the Historic District’s older rowhouses and some Midtown homes have a wall safe or a small floor safe built in decades ago, sometimes found during a renovation or a first walk-through after closing. These older mechanical units are a different animal than a modern gun safe, but most can still be opened and serviced rather than cut out of the wall. If you’ve found one and have no idea what’s behind the dial, that’s exactly the kind of call we get.

It depends on the safe’s brand, age, and lock type. We’ll ask a few questions about the safe when you call and quote it before coming out.
Usually not. Manipulation and decoding are non-destructive for most mechanical dial safes. Drilling is reserved for safes that genuinely can’t be opened another way, and we’ll always discuss it with you first.
Yes, on most mechanical and electronic safes we can reset the combination on the spot once it’s open.
Yes, including lockouts, combination resets, and new installation.
We can open it for you, but what you do from there is between you and whoever previously owned the property. We just get the door open.
