What should I ask before approving Safe Opening?

Ask for the service call, labor range, timing, proof requirements, and what would change the quote.

Why does proof matter?

Locksmith work is security-sensitive, so identity or ownership checks may be required before work begins.

How to compare Safe Opening quotes

A safe opening quote should start with the safe type, brand if visible, lock style, keypad behavior, battery condition, approximate size, and whether anyone recently changed the combination. The technician may need proof of ownership or authorization.

Ask whether the first approach is battery/keypad troubleshooting, manipulation, diagnostics, scope work, drilling, repair, or replacement. If drilling might be needed, ask what repair is included after the safe opens.

Do not approve a vague low quote that skips method and damage questions. A fair safe-opening estimate explains the range, what can change it, and whether the safe is expected to remain usable after service.
