Firm quoteSafe work starts with proof of ownership, then the least destructive opening the safe allows, so what you get back still works. Combinations and keypad codes get reset for new owners or after staff changes. Price depends on the brand, the lock, and what failed, so the job is quoted as a firm written total you approve first.
Lockouts dispatch with priority, Mon–Sat 7:30AM–11PM: real hours, honestly published, with no emergency surcharge. An evening lockout costs the same published range as a morning appointment.
