Safes opening

There is a remarkable range of safes on the market with different sizes and standards of security. Each one made for different requirements. According to their type of opening, we can find the safes in two groups:

• Old safes, which are usually heavier and have a rotating wheel in which we enter the password to open the door.
• Modern safes, which use an electronic system — either a numeric keypad, an alphanumeric code, or (on the most advanced models) a biometric system such as a fingerprint or iris reader.

We can also classify them according to their opening systems, where there are several types such as:

• Safes with main key.
• Safes with key plus mechanical combination.
• Safes with key plus electronic combination or motorised electronic combination.

There are safes for specific uses such as the gunsmiths, which are boxes designed exclusively to store weapons or long weapons, and their custody.

• Approved gun vaults: Which follow the current legislation, exceeding a series of rules of the official agencies, used in arms stores or military areas.
• Non-approved gun cabinets: These are storage units designed for weapons but intended for private, domestic use rather than commercial or military purposes.

There are also fireproof safes, made from heat-resistant materials to protect documents, data or valuables in the event of a fire. Many are also water- and humidity-resistant thanks to their airtight construction.

The most common problems with safes are a seized mechanism or a forgotten combination, both of which make it almost impossible to access the contents. Opening a safe correctly requires knowing the type of locking mechanism, the level of protection and the materials involved.
