In our Kingsley Street Workshop and via several of our on-road service vehicles we are able to carry out the following safe services:

Opening of safes.

Lost the keys or forgotten the combination to your safe? Require a battery change? Our experienced technicians can open your safe without compromising the integrity of the safe or contents.

Combination change.

Have you had an employee with access to your safe leave? Our technicians have the tools and experience for resetting the combination to a range of electronic and dial safe locks.

Service and repair.

Due to use or environmental factors, a safe can become worn over time. When this happens, the safe’s ability to secure content can be compromised. Our technicians can service or repair the safe to maximise the lifespan and to reduce the likelihood of lockouts or remedial work.

Commercial-Grade Security Solutions for Business Assets

Business assets demand commercial-grade security beyond residential safes, with enhanced protection, higher capacity, and specialized functionality suited to commercial environments. Commercial safes safeguard retail cash, confidential documents, sensitive client information, valuable inventory, and controlled substances where regulatory compliance is required. Specialized designs address specific business needs—drop safes reduce theft risk through one-way deposits for retail and restaurants, data safes protect servers and backups from fire and magnetic damage, pharmacy safes meet controlled substance regulations, and high-security rated safes protect valuable inventory such as jewelry or precious metals.
Ross Galt helps businesses select safes meeting security, capacity, and compliance requirements. We assess what you're protecting to determine appropriate security ratings, evaluate space and access requirements for optimal placement, ensure compliance with insurance policy specifications, and coordinate professional installation including site assessment, secure anchoring, and integration with security systems where applicable. Our service includes guidance on appropriate security ratings for your valuables and insurance requirements, capacity sizing for current and anticipated needs, locking mechanisms suited to your access and accountability requirements, and ongoing maintenance to keep mechanisms functional and compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What security rating should my business safe have?
Appropriate ratings depend on what you're protecting and insurance requirements. General document storage may require basic ratings, cash holdings typically need moderate security ratings, and high-value items such as jewelry require advanced certifications. Consult your insurance policy and we can recommend safes meeting specifications.
Can multiple employees access the same commercial safe?
Modern commercial safes support multiple access methods. Electronic safes can store numerous unique user codes with programmable access schedules, dual-custody safes require two people with different codes for opening ideal for high-security applications, and mechanical combination locks can be shared though combinations should be changed when employees with access leave.
What's the difference between fire-rated and burglary-rated commercial safes?
Fire-rated safes protect contents from heat and smoke damage using thick insulation, while burglary-rated safes feature heavy steel construction, sophisticated locking mechanisms, and drill-resistant materials. Fire-rated models may have thinner steel walls, while burglary-rated safes may lack fire protection. Composite safes offer both ratings at higher cost.
Do I need professional installation for commercial safes?
Professional installation is strongly recommended and often required by insurance. Commercial safes are extremely heavy requiring specialized equipment and structural knowledge. Improper installation can damage buildings, create safety hazards, and void insurance coverage. Professional installation includes proper anchoring, floor assessment, and compliance documentation.
How often should commercial safes be serviced?
We recommend periodic servicing to maintain optimal performance and insurance compliance. High-use safes may benefit from more frequent maintenance. Regular servicing includes locking mechanism inspection, hinge lubrication, seal checks for fire safes, and electronic component testing to prevent unexpected failures.
