Signs You Need Your Safe Repaired

Your vault’s inner and outer components may need repair when you notice any of the following:

Stubborn Lock

Are you turning the key around a few minutes before the lock opens? It happens because of misaligned internal components, rough edges and faulty keys. Even though you can open the safe with a few tries, getting it checked by a professional will give you peace of mind.

Loose Hinges

A wobbling safe door that requires extra push to open needs immediate attention because the worn-out hinges create an opportunity for compromise. Hiring a professional will help you find the source of the weakness and determine whether to repair or install new hinges to eliminate the possibility of forced entry.

Unusual Sound

If you hear your safe click, grind or scrape, the bolts, gears or other components may be worn out or misaligned. A professional will repair these parts so you can open your safe without making an unpleasant sound.

Worn-Out Combination Locks

Is your combination failing to align even though you’re sure it is right? That’s a sign of internal issues that need immediate attention. Call for help when you encounter resistance, break your combination key or forget the numbers. A lock expert will help you access the contents in your safe and create a new combination.

Corrosion

Rust wears out the safe’s material, weakens it and creates possibilities for forced entry. Getting the safe polished and coated with durable material will reinforce the gadget so it can resist water and look neat and clean.

Evidence of Tampering

If someone accesses your safe without permission and you’re unsure how it happened, seek professional assistance. An expert will help you determine how the person gained access and install measures to prevent it from happening in the future.
