What moves the safe opening price
- Safe grade. Standard home and gun safes are routine. Commercial and high-security safes with hardplate cost more to open.
- Method. Manipulation or a dead-keypad battery swap is cheapest. Careful drilling and repair adds parts and labor.
- Lock type. Dial, electronic keypad, and biometric locks each need different tools and time.
- Repair after. If drilling is required, restoring the safe to working order is often quoted on top of the opening.
A dead electronic keypad is often just a battery swap or a lost override key, far cheaper than a full opening, so it is worth asking first.
