Whether your safe is locked out, damaged, or you’re ready to switch from a dial to a digital keypad, our certified technicians provide fast, honest, and professional service.

Opening a locked safe is not as cut and dry as people think it is. We are often asked how much it will cost, but the charges are all over the place because it depends on what type of safe it is and the technique used to open it.

Cost to Open Home Safes

Here we are talking about safes that weren’t designed to protect their content from an attack. They were designed to keep temptation away from normally honest people, the safety of weapons (small handgun safes), or fire protection. Such as these value home safes on our website or those on Amazon.

These are safes that were bought online usually for less than $500.

In these cases, to professionally open the safe and repair it will often cost more than what the owner paid for the safe. Our recommendation to open inexpensive home safes is to break into the safe using whatever means you have available. Thus, the cost to get into an inexpensive home safe is the cost of the replacement home safe once you have destroyed the locked safe.
