Safe Opening for Tecate homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. A safe you can't open is just a heavy box in the corner of your closet. We open most residential and office safes — dial combination, electronic keypad, biometric, and key-operated — using non-destructive techniques whenever the safe design allows.

Julian and Warner Springs cabins occasionally have old floor safes from the 30s or 40s — some we open same-day, some need a return trip with specialized tools. We tell you before you commit.
