Safe Repairs and Code Changes in Boksburg
A safe that still opens, but only on the third try, is telling you something. So is a handle that needs a shoulder behind it, or a keypad that chews through batteries. Fix it now and you avoid paying for an emergency opening later. We're a mobile locksmith who services and upgrades safes on site, from the bedroom-cupboard gun safe in an estate home to the cash safe in a warehouse office in Boksburg East or Anderbolt.

Typical safe work
| Job | Usually needed when |
|---|---|
| Set a new code | You've moved in, a staff member has left, or too many people know it |
| Replace the lock | The key lock, dial or electronic lock is worn or unreliable |
| Upgrade a key lock to a keypad | Keys keep going missing, or several people need access |
| Repair the electronics | Buttons don't register, response is slow, batteries die quickly |
| Free the bolt work or handle | The door has to be pushed before the handle turns, or bolts grind |
| Repair after an attack | Someone tried to force it and it no longer locks properly |
| Anchor it | The safe stands loose instead of bolted down as its maker intends |
Don't wait for the lockout
Every one of those faults is easier and cheaper to put right while the door still opens. Once it refuses, the work starts with safe opening before any repair can happen. If the code is already lost, forgot the safe code? explains your options.
Firearm safes
Regulation 86 of the Firearms Control Regulations expects firearms to be stored in a safe or strong-room meeting SABS 953-1 and 953-2, with limited exceptions. When we replace the lock on a gun safe, it's a lock suited to that model, and the safe should stay anchored as designed. Gun safes in South Africa covers what owners need to know.
At work
Business safes get used far harder than home ones. Codes need changing whenever staff move on, locks wear from daily opening, and a burglary can leave the bolt work damaged. We see this in Boksburg East and Anderbolt workshops, Bartlett's Airport Strategic Park and the shops near East Rand Mall. Other locks on the same premises can be dealt with on the same visit under our commercial locksmith service.
Cost
R250 call-out fee. The price covers the part or lock and the labour, and depends on the safe model. You approve it before work starts. EFT, cash or card.

Straightforward. We open it with the existing code, program yours, and you test the new code a few times before we go.
Can my key-locking safe take a keypad?
Many can, though not all. Send a WhatsApp photo of the lock and the label inside the door and we'll check before coming out.
Can you relocate our safe?
Our work is done where the safe stands, including anchoring it. If it has to be moved, tell us about it and we'll be honest about whether we can help.
