Opened with as little damage as possible; new safes fixed in place." url: "https://locksmithibi.es/safe-opening-ibi/" business: "Locksmith Ibi" --- # Safe opening in Ibi, and safes fixed where they stay put A keypad that has gone dark, a code that left with a former employee, a safe inherited with a flat and no key. Opened with as little damage as it allows. And new safes anchored into something solid, so they stay where you put them.

Before it opens you are asked to show it is yours: the deeds or the lease of the home, or, for an office, a manager the company authorises. ## Where a new safe can be anchored A safe is only as secure as what it is bolted into. Concrete floors and load-bearing walls hold anchors; thin brick partitions, common in flats from the 1960s and 70s, may not. About a third of Ibi’s built floor area dates from those two decades, so it is worth looking before buying. [Fixing a safe in a flat with brick partitions](https://locksmithibi.es/blog/fixing-a-safe-to-a-1970s-brick-partition/). In an office on one of the industrial estates, the safe usually goes into the floor slab. Units and their other locks are on [the business page](https://locksmithibi.es/commercial-locksmith-ibi/), and safes are fitted the same way in [Castalla, Onil and Tibi](https://locksmithibi.es/foia-de-castalla/). ## Safes in second-hand homes and old offices Almost every home sold in Ibi is second-hand, 73 of 74 in the third quarter of 2024, and a safe left behind by a former owner is a common find. So is an office safe whose code went with a retired partner. Both are opened the same way, once ownership is clear. After a break-in, a safe anchored into concrete is worth more than a heavier one standing loose.

Rarely. Usually the batteries are flat or have leaked. Many safes have battery contacts or a battery box reachable from outside for exactly this. Try fresh batteries before anything else. ### We bought a flat and the safe came with it, locked. What do we need? The deeds or the purchase contract, and a photo of the front of the safe and any maker’s label. It is opened, and you set a code of your own. ### The office safe’s code left with somebody who no longer works here. A manager authorised by the company confirms the work, the safe is opened, and the code is reset in front of whoever will hold it now. ### Is a small safe worth fixing down? Yes. A light safe that is not anchored can be carried out under an arm. Bolted from inside into concrete or solid brick, it has to be attacked where it stands. ## Usually sorted out in the same visit - [**Repairs after a break-in** Somebody has forced the door, or tried to A5](https://locksmithibi.es/burglary-repair-ibi/) - [**Business premises in Ibi** It is the unit, the shop or the office A4](https://locksmithibi.es/commercial-locksmith-ibi/) - [**Lock repairs booked ahead** The lock is worn, or other people have keys to it A3](https://locksmithibi.es/lock-change-ibi/) Guides that lead here - [Where a safe can be anchored in a flat from the boom years](https://locksmithibi.es/blog/fixing-a-safe-to-a-1970s-brick-partition/) · 4 min ## A photo of the safe door is the best start With the maker’s label if there is one.
