Simple Safe Maintenance Tips

A safe is one of the strongest ways to achieve peace of mind at home or in your business. When held in a safe, jewelry, cash, stocks and important documents are highly secure against casual or dedicated thieves. However, if you want your valuables to remain that way, you must take good care of your safe It may seem strange, but a safe is only as strong as your ability to maintain it. Here are a few essential safe maintenance tips to help you out.

Handle Your Safe with Care

Although it’s tempting to spin the dial lock of your safe, it’s unwise and can affect the performance of the lock. Likewise, avoid forcing keys into cylinders or slamming the doors of your safe. Any of these can cause your safe lock to lose alignment, making it difficult to open or lock you out completely.

Annual Service is Important

When you call a locksmith for annual service on your safe, they’ll test and adjust the lock. It will be cleaned and lubricated so the parts move smoothly and operate as they should. Annual service may also be necessary to keep warranty coverage over your safe.

Call for Service as Needed

As soon as you realize the safe hardware isn’t working as expected, call your locksmith. Using the safe often worsens problems and requires a longer and more extensive repair. A damaged safe may also leave your possessions vulnerable if your safe gets broken into, so scheduling safe maintenance as soon as you notice a problem will save you many headaches down the line.

Prices are reasonable and lower than most other companies for the less labor intensive jobs. We were in a pinch and needed same day service. They came out and repaired our business door and didn't take advantage of the Same day need by overcharging. We use them everytime we need lock changes.

My roommate's key got stuck in our front door at 8pm. I never had to call a locksmith before so I called the first closest locksmith to our house thinking all locksmiths were the same. I didn't know yet at the time but I was soon about to discover that not all locksmiths are created equal. The first company who showed up to help me spent two hours here and then charged me 400 dollars and maybe I'm being naive but for 400 dollars I was assuming the new door handles he put on would also be able to lock...or at least shut the door all the way. I don't want to spend much time talking about that company (but I will review them after I do this one), but the next day I called my mom really frustrated about the way the other company had left the door and how we had to sleep with the front door not being able to lock or shut all the way, even after the guy came back for another 4 hours the following day. My mom told me to send the video I took of the terrible lock job and send it to White Knight, so I did. I didn't have the highest of hopes strictly because the other locksmith really wore me out but when they showed up that night at 9pm (the time we agreed on), I was already impressed (the other locksmith kept telling me times he would be here and was constantly late, by hours). Teresa and Dan were the lovely people who came over to help me with my lock. I believe they were here maybe 30 minutes and I had a very secure lock when they left. They charged 200 dollars and it was well deserved. The locks in the picture might look "boring" but if you saw the jiggly jangly shoddy handles the other guy left on our door after his "complete" job, you'd be impressed too. :) I highly recommend White Knight.

I would highly recommend this company if you need any locksmith service. They made a replacement barrel key for my mailbox and it didn't fit when I tried it at home. I let them know and they came to my house the same day and modified the key. Now it is perfect and they did not charge me extra for the house call.

All I needed was a car key copied but no other place would do it without making a whole new key and a new fob, which I didn't need. I had an uncut key and fob shell and just needed the guts taken out of my original and put into the new fob and the key cut. She got it done very quickly and efficiently and for way less than I would have been charged elsewhere. I would definitely recommend, plus there was 2 cute cats there!
