To crack a safe essentially means to have saved it; and you can use it again. It also means loads of saved time and money. When a safe is drilled and opened easily and quickly, you may save money in the short run, as it takes less time and effort on behalf of the technician. However, when a safe is manipulated and “cracked” without the need to drill or break it, the customer does not need to spend the extra time and money paying for the removal of the safe, nor buying and installing a new one. Whether working with a multi-generational residential safe, to a new commercially-owned one, we at Pi are SAVTA (Safe and Vault Technician Association) members, and regularly participate in safe manipulation and opening classes. This means that we take great effort to try to “save” your safe, with drilling being the last resort. Even when the inner workings of it are found to be broken internally or digitally, we use numerous tactics and strategies (including patience!) to manipulate and open your safe. Safe manipulation, cracking, and even drilling are all part of the art of trying to open a safe. Our technicians always take the time to help our customers decide if drilling is the best and most valuable option.
