Safes & Restricted Key Systems

Safes and restricted key systems are about control: control over who can open something, and control over who can copy a key. Both need to be specified correctly to be worth the money.

Safes

The right safe depends on what you are protecting and from what. Cash on a business premises has different requirements from documents and heirlooms at home, and insurers often specify a rating for cash holdings.

  • Advice on sizing, rating and placement
  • Supply of home, office and deposit safes
  • Bolt-down installation into concrete or timber
  • Combination changes and digital lock conversions
  • Servicing of stiff, faulty or locked-out safes

Restricted key systems

A restricted key uses a patented profile that cannot legally or physically be duplicated at a general key cutting counter. Copies are only cut by the authorised locksmith against your signed authority list.

This is the practical answer to the most common security failure we see: not a broken lock, but an unknown number of keys in circulation.

Key registers

For businesses and owners corporations, we maintain a register of who holds which key and when it was issued. When someone leaves, you know exactly what needs to come back and what needs to be rekeyed if it does not.

Common questions

Can you open a safe I have lost the combination to?
Often yes, with proof of ownership. Some methods are non-destructive; others require drilling and repair. We assess and quote before starting.
Are restricted keys worth the extra cost?
For businesses, shared buildings and anyone who has handed keys to contractors, generally yes. For a single-occupant home, standard keys with good hardware are often sufficient.
