ABOUT THE SAFECRACKER
DO YOU NEED MY EXPERT SAFECRACKING SKILLS DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS?
I am a licensed California Locksmith who specializes ONLY in safe opening, repair and service, as well as Vaults, ATMs and Government Security Containers.
**PLEASE SEE MY NOTICE REGARDING COVID-19 practices and precautions, BELOW!**
If you do and you're seeking a licensed and competent safecracker, then all you really need is to call the number above. If you want to make an informed choice, read on. There's lots of info here to help you.
Common reasons why somebody will contact me for safe opening or service:
- You may have forgotten or lost your combination/code.
- Your safe won't open because of a malfunction.
- A friend/relative has died, taken ill, or may be incapacitated and nobody else knows the combination to his/her safe.
- You may have purchased a home or business that already has an existing safe that you want to use, but you are LOCKED OUT.
- You need to change the combination/code or your safe requires repairs or service.
- Your safe (with all your valuables or guns inside) has burned up in the recent wild fires and there is no longer a lock, dial, keypad or handle to use to open it. As bad as this seems, unfortunately, that's probably not all that is preventing the door from opening. Don't worry! I can still open it!
There are many more reasons, but the important thing to remember is that you should seek someone who is knowledgeable, experienced and fully-equipped to handle your problem, no matter what it is. You don't need to settle for that guy who only "thinks" he can. A few simple questions will tell you who you're dealing with. See My Safecracker's 10 QUESTIONS BLOG entry for more about what you should be asking that person on the phone before hiring them for a safe opening or any other security work. Don't be a victim! There are many, many scam artists on the internet.
As a safe and vault specialist, I do not do any general, commercial or automotive locksmithing, but if you found me searching for that, I will be happy to refer you to a qualified local professional who is skilled in those areas of locksmithing.
SAFE & VAULT TECHNICIAN QUALIFICATIONS
A commercial locksmith for 40 years, I have spent the last 25 years learning, keeping up with the newest technology and honing my skills as a dedicated, full-time, professional safecracker while opening, repairing and servicing all types and brands of safes, vaults, and bank/government security equipment. When you call me, you'll be talking to the owner of a local small business, not an operator at a boiler-room call center in New York, Las Vegas or India.
As a member of the Safe & Vault Technician's Association (SAVTA) and also as a SAVTA instructor and author of numerous technical articles on the art and science of safe and vault opening and servicing, I have endeavored to become the best I can be, as well trying to advance the level of professionalism and competence within our entire industry. That's what a Master Safecracker does and continues to do.

ADVANCED "SPECIALIST" SKILLS AND TRAINING
A LOCKSMITH isn't necessarily a SAFECRACKER and vice-versa.
In addition to cultivating the knowledge and skills required to identify, service, repair and open all modern, rare-antique and high security safe, vault and ATM equipment, I am one of only a few Licensed California Safe Technicians who specialize in NO or Minimal damage openings, using the art and science of "combination lock manipulation" and "advanced combination lock diagnostics". These skills allow me to open many safes by "sight, sound and touch", which means there will be no drilling mess or other inconvenience and that your safe can be put back into service sooner after the opening. No repairs needed!
Even if your safe is not a good candidate for opening by manipulation, is equipped with a digital or manipulation resistant lock or if a malfunction exists that does require drilling to overcome, "minimal damage" means that after opening, that tiny hole I had to drill can easily be repaired to meet or exceed your safe's rating and the repaired area will not be evident.
