Four simple steps. Follow them in order and you'll get a fair price — even if it's the middle of the night.
"Are you a safe technician, or a general locksmith who also opens safes?" Specialists are dramatically less likely to drill unnecessarily.
A real safe tech will diagnose first: type, condition, lock style. Manipulation or scoping comes before any drill.
"What's the maximum I could pay? What triggers the higher number — hardplate? Relockers?" Know the worst case in advance.
If they have to drill, will they restore the safe to working condition? Replace the relockers? You want it usable after.
The questions everyone asks the moment they pick up the phone.
No. Many safes can be opened with manipulation, scoping, or known recovery procedures. Drilling is a last resort for a real specialist.
Anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours depending on the safe class. Be wary of anyone promising "instant" on a high-security safe.
