Lost key to Gun Safe

Big Lar

As the title suggests I have lost the key to my gun safe, Twas last seen about three years ago, That'll tell ye how much shooting I do:).

It's a Warmflow 2 gun cabinet, I think that the locks were Chubb.

Any Idea's or anyone know a good locksmith to pick the lock in West Waterford area.

Might be a stab in the dark, ring warmflow and quote the bar code on the cabinet. Failing that let us know how difficult it really is and how long it took you to Jemmy it open.

The cost of a locksmith could be dearer than a new safe?:(

there should of been 2 stickers with a series of numbers on it, thats your code for a locksmith to make the keys. Try underneath safe maybe there.

I thought the whole idea was that your not able to get into the gun safe without the keys.
I'd say the barcode is on the inside.

Looks like a job for the hole saw and jigsaw.

That lad in the locksmith is not a locksmith at all by all accounts, so he sent me on to a Tony chap in Waterford City who does everything except gun safes would you believe.

I shoved in the screwdriver beside the lock and to my surprise there is a lot of give in the side walls, But the feckin screwdriver broke so its nailbar time tomorrow.

I am trying to get in causing not too much damage I hope cos I think I left the spare key in there for safe keeping dont ya know


P.S. Couldn't find the serial number

P.P.S. Thanks for the suggestions

My uncle lost the keys to his safe too so he got onto the manufacturers of the safe and quoted the serial numbers of the keys and they sent new ones no problem

Well to make a long story short, The old safe is gone to heaven.

Forced my way in with a nail bar didn't I

How long did it take and was it difficult PM me

Big Lar

Well luckily enough I had not gotten around to bolting it to the wall and it was free standing in the hot press, so I was able to take it outside and lie it down flat and work on it from there.

I was able to force the sides away from the door lock by putting the nail bar down between the door and the side wall. I was quite surprised at how easy it was.

The safe reminded me so much of Gordon Ramsay- Looked tough but when you really got down to it: It was pure s**t.

Not knocking ya or anything, but it does speak volumes for actually having it bolted to the wall. I hadn't got round to mine either but it'll be done fairly rapid now I tell ya! :eek:

In fairness had it been bolted to the wall the job could have turned out very messy.

The new one is fixed to the wall thou, God Bless Hilti Guns

Well Jesus so much for being "SAFE":eek: ,
