What is 3 Locksmiths?

A high-precision locksmith service platform designed for rapid emergency response and professional security engineering.

Can you open my safe same-day?

Yes. In many cases we can open your safe the same day you call using non-destructive manipulation techniques. High-security safes that require precise drilling may take longer, but we complete most safe openings on the first visit.

Can you open my safe without damaging it?

In many cases, yes. We use manipulation techniques that can open mechanical combination locks without drilling. When drilling is necessary for safes with electronic locks or high-security ratings, we drill through manufacturer-specified points and repair the hole afterward, leaving your safe fully functional.

Can you change my safe combination?

Yes. We can reset mechanical combination locks and reprogram electronic keypads. This is recommended whenever someone with knowledge of your combination no longer should have access — such as after an employee departure or relationship change.

Do you install and anchor safes?

Absolutely. We professionally install safes on concrete, wood, and wall surfaces using appropriate anchoring hardware. A properly anchored safe is far more secure than a portable one — burglars can't simply carry it away. We also handle safe moving and relocation.

Can you open a gun safe?

Yes. We service and open all types of gun safes from manufacturers including Liberty, Fort Knox, Browning, AMSEC, and Stack-On. We can also install dehumidifiers, interior lighting, and electronic lock upgrades for existing gun safes.

Can you open a safe without damaging it?

In most cases, yes. We use non-destructive techniques first. However, we cannot guarantee non-destructive entry for every safe — some high-security safes may require drilling. We always discuss options before proceeding.

What types of safes do you open?

We open combination safes, digital keypad safes, biometric safes, fire-rated safes, floor safes, wall safes, and gun safes across all major brands.

How long does safe opening take?

Most safe openings take 30–90 minutes depending on the safe type, lock mechanism, and security level. Biometric and digital safes are often faster; high-security combination safes may take longer.

Can you reset my safe combination?

Yes. After opening your safe, we can reset the combination or rekey the lock so you have secure access again.

Emergency Safe Opening Services

Whether you've forgotten your safe combination, inherited a safe with an unknown code, or your electronic lock has malfunctioned, 3 Locksmiths can get you back in. Our safe opening specialists are trained in non-destructive and minimally invasive techniques that preserve the integrity of your safe whenever possible. We don't just drill and destroy — we use manipulation, diagnostic tools, and precise drilling methods that allow the safe to be repaired and re-secured after opening.

We work on all types of safes: residential gun safes, fire safes, floor safes, wall safes, commercial depository safes, ATM safes, and high-security TL-rated burglary safes. Our technicians are familiar with locking mechanisms from major safe manufacturers including Sentry, Honeywell, First Alert, AMSEC, Mesa, Fort Knox, Browning, and Liberty.

If your safe uses an electronic keypad that has failed, we can often diagnose and repair the lock without drilling. For mechanical combination locks, we use manipulation techniques that can open many safes without any drilling at all. When drilling is necessary, we drill precisely through manufacturer-specified points, then repair the hole and install a new lock — leaving your safe fully functional and secure.

Safe Installation & Mounting

A safe that isn't bolted down isn't really a safe — it's a portable box that a burglar can carry away. We professionally install and anchor safes to concrete floors, wooden subfloors, and walls using appropriate hardware for each surface. A properly anchored safe can resist hours of attack, while an unanchored safe can be removed in minutes.

Our installation service includes site assessment — we'll help you choose the optimal location for your safe based on security, accessibility, and structural considerations. Floor safes should be embedded in concrete for maximum concealment and security. Wall safes should be installed between studs with reinforcement. Standalone safes should be anchored to prevent tipping and removal.

We also handle safe moving and relocation. Safes are heavy and awkward — attempting to move one yourself can result in serious injury or property damage. Our team has the equipment and experience to safely move and reinstall your safe at a new location.

Our commercial locksmith services include safe installation for businesses. If you need an Austin locksmith or a San Marcos locksmith, our mobile team serves both metro areas.

Combination Changes & Lock Upgrades

If you've shared your safe combination with someone who should no longer have access — a former employee, ex-partner, or contractor — you need a combination change. We can reset mechanical combination locks and reprogram electronic keypads, and we'll do it discreetly without anyone else learning the new code.

Considering upgrading your safe's lock? We can replace mechanical dial locks with electronic keypads for faster access, or upgrade to biometric fingerprint locks for keyless convenience. We can also install audit trail locks that log every opening — essential for businesses with cash-handling or compliance requirements.

Not sure if your safe is worth repairing? We'll give you an honest assessment. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether your safe is worth repairing before you commit to any work.

If your business has been burglarized, see our security upgrade checklist after a break-in to secure your property.

Drilling when necessary — some safes require precision drilling to access the lock mechanism without damaging the contents

We cannot guarantee non-destructive opening for every situation. The method used depends on the safe type, lock mechanism, and condition of the safe.

Safe installation for new purchases — including bolting and anchoring to floor or wall
