Non-Destructive Safe Opening Methods


At DC Mobile Locksmith, we emphasize non-destructive entry whenever possible. Our goal is to unlock your safe while preserving its original locking system and structural integrity. This includes:


  • Manipulation of Mechanical Locks – Skilled safe technicians can often “listen” and feel for correct combinations through manual manipulation of dial locks.
  • Digital Bypass & Diagnostic Entry – Modern safes often use electronic keypads. We can decode and override systems using specialized diagnostic equipment.
  • Key Override Techniques – For safes with backup key slots, we offer key impressioning and decoding to unlock without force.
  • Scope Drilling (As Last Resort) – In rare cases where non-destructive methods aren’t possible, we employ precision drilling through specific access points that allow safe repair afterward.


We work on all major safe brands, including SentrySafe, AMSEC, Liberty Safe, Fort Knox, Barska, Honeywell, Stack-On, and others. No matter your model, our trained locksmiths have dealt with it before.

Forgotten Safe Combination? We Can Help


Lost the combination to your safe or inherited a locked unit without documentation? We specialize in safe combination recovery and reset.
