Safe Installation
Safe Installation
Important things in life can vary greatly in value. That value may be sentimental, worth or the ability to be replaced. These factors should be considered when making a decision on what safe to have to secure your valuables. The range and quality of safes available today is enormous.
Safes can be divided into three basic categories. Those offering resistance against attack, those offering resistance against fire and those offering resistance against attack and fire.
Gawler Lock and Key Service is able to guide you through this selection process with the utmost consideration of privacy and respect. You may want to secure a prized stamp collection, jewellery or ensure the correct and legally compliant storage of firearms. With many safes on display in our showroom, please feel free to come in and discuss this with us.
From the compact strongbox to the ‘2 ton six footers’, we can advise you on what product best suits your needs.
A tip you may consider…..”Bigger is Better”. When the safe runs out of room, you can’t make it bigger!
Current vehicles run complex computers and any interference with them can be catastrophic. The use of proper diagnostic equipment is vital. A vehicles ‘fried’ computer can cost thousands of dollars to replace, let alone the inconvenience. Key generation should only be carried out by qualified technicians. We are most knowledgeable in these fields and take every precaution to ensure you and your car can motor on. Ultimately there are not too many vehicles we can’t cope with, but it always pays to call ahead and make an appointment, thus ensuring an informed and timely solution.
Older vehicles are welcome too. We take great pride in repairing and restoring locks in the ‘classic’ vehicles. Be it a 1969 Holden HT Monaro, a 1971 Ford XYGTHO or a 1934 Buick Roadster, BRING IT IN!! We will do everything we can to keep them going and up to original condition.
Fun Fact #1
Until the introduction of ‘Arc-welding’ (at a production level) in the 1910’s, safes were constructed using super-heated rivets and hand driven with pure brute force. A method of fastening still used today.
Fun Fact #2
Referred to as a ‘combination lock’, this type of device to secure a safe or vault (amongst other things), was developed by James Sargent in the 1850’s. To this day, much of his design and technological brilliance is still used now. ‘Ahead of his time’ you could say!
