Working with the lock and the safe
Hector works on safes that need to be opened, reset or repaired, including units with mechanical dials and electronic keypads. His work includes changing combinations, replacing failed locks and upgrading a dial-operated safe to an electronic lock.
He also handles safe installation and anchoring. An opening method is chosen after inspection because the condition and construction of the safe determine what is possible. Some safes can be opened without damage, while others require controlled drilling and a repair afterward.

How a safe service visit is handled
A locked safe, a failed keypad and a safe being installed require different work. Cairn uses an inspection and approval process for each.
Establish authority
The technician checks identification and proof of ownership or authority over the safe before beginning.
Examine the safe
The lock, keypad or installation conditions are assessed on site. An opening method is not promised over the phone.
Agree on the work
The written price identifies the proposed work. Drilling or replacement requires the customer's separate approval.
Check the finished operation
After the service, the safe's lock and operating functions are tested with the customer before the invoice is issued.
