Home / Safes & utility locks
Safes, tractors, toolboxes — the keys nobody else will make
Forgotten combination. Tractor key that walked off years ago. Padlock on a gate whose key is long gone. This is the work most shops turn down and Justin takes.

Safes
Locked out of your own safe
Justin works on select models — call with the brand and roughly how old it is and he'll tell you honestly whether it's one he can handle.
Opening
Combination forgotten, dial spinning free, or a safe that came with the house and nobody knows what's inside. Opened as non-destructively as the model allows.
Repair
Sticky dials, worn wheels, doors that won't relock. Often fixable rather than a reason to buy a new safe.
Combinations set
New combination on a safe you already own — worth doing on anything second-hand, or after anyone who knew the old one has moved on.
Worth asking about
Tired of spinning the dial? Convert it to a keypad.
On many safes the dial can be swapped for a digital keypad — same safe, same door, no more counting clicks in the dark or explaining the sequence to somebody over the phone. Ask Justin whether yours is a candidate.

Available on select models. Send a photo of the front of your safe and he'll tell you yes or no before anyone drives out.

Keys for the things that aren't cars or doors
Out here that's half the locks people own. Most can be keyed from the lock itself, with no original needed.
If it takes a key and it isn't on this list, text a photo anyway. Justin would rather tell you no in one message than have you drive to Sherman for nothing.
What it costs
Photo first, price second, drive third
This work varies more than any of the rest — a padlock key and a jammed safe door aren't remotely the same job. A photo usually tells Justin what he needs to quote it, and costs you nothing to send.
Questions people actually ask
I forgot my safe combination entirely.
A locksmith can still open it — a forgotten combination is a routine call, not a lost cause. On models Justin works with he opens the safe and sets a new combination in the same visit, so you don't end up in the same spot next year.
Will opening it wreck the safe?
Often it can be opened without damage — it depends on the make and the lock. Some safes can only be drilled. Justin tells you which one yours is, and what any repair would cost, before he starts work.
No original key for my tractor. Possible?
Usually yes — tractor, ATV and other equipment keys can normally be cut from the ignition lock itself, with no original key to copy from. Send a photo of the ignition and the make and Justin will confirm before driving out.
Can all my padlocks take one key?
Yes, if they're compatible — it's called keying alike. Gates, shed, shop and trailer all opening with one key is a common request on rural property around Texoma, and an easy job.
It's an old family desk. Will you damage it?
Antique furniture gets handled carefully — the lock matters less than the piece it's in. If there's real risk he'll say so before touching it.
Do I bring it to you or do you come out?
Depends on the item — a padlock travels easily, a gun safe doesn't. Describe what you've got and he'll tell you which way is easier.
