How We Save Your Day
The Hero Protocol
- Step 1
Call with safe brand, model, and situation
Describe the safe brand, approximate model, and whether you have the serial number. The dispatcher assesses the likely opening method and quotes the job before dispatch.
- Step 2
Technician dispatched, ownership verified
A technician is dispatched. Ownership verification comes before any work: a government-issued photo ID plus proof of ownership such as a purchase receipt, the serial number or a property title.
- Step 3
Least invasive method first
Manipulation or a bypass is attempted before anything that marks the safe. If it fails, the technician discusses scoping or drilling with you before proceeding. Time depends on the safe and the lock.
- Step 4
Safe opened, combination reset
Contents are accessed in your presence. A new combination is set if you ask for one, and any drill port is repaired. The invoice is reviewed before the technician leaves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a locksmith open a safe if I do not know the combination?
Often yes. A locksmith can often open a combination or electronic safe without the combination, trying the least invasive method first. The brand, model and age of the safe decide the method and the time.
How much does safe opening cost in Austin?
Safe opening is a custom quote because it depends on the safe type, brand and lock. The dispatcher asks for the make and model and quotes the job before anyone is dispatched. Tax is additional.
Will opening the safe damage it?
Many openings leave the safe intact, but it depends on the lock, the safe and the method. Drilling is a last resort. If it is needed, the technician explains it and the added cost, and you approve it before work continues.
Can you open a gun safe?
Yes, consumer-grade gun safes can often be opened. Proof of ownership is required, so have ID and details of the safe ready when you call.
What if my electronic safe has a dead battery or a failed keypad?
Many electronic safes have an external battery contact or a backup key. A locksmith can often restore power or bypass the keypad without damage. Tell the dispatcher the brand and what the keypad shows.
What do I need to have ready when I call?
The safe's make, model and serial number if you can find it, a government photo ID, and proof of ownership such as a receipt or title. Some manufacturers keep combination records by serial number, which can help.
Is WOW Locks licensed to do this work in Texas?
Yes. WOW Locks LLC holds Texas DPS (TOPS) license B10595301, which you can verify on the Texas DPS TOPS portal before anyone arrives. The company is also insured and bonded.

Austin, TX
Exceptional customer service! I found myself in an embarrassing/unfortunate situation in which I was locked out of both my vehicle AND my home. Miguel responded quickly and in the short time frame of his commute over to my home, a fellow neighbor was able to help me get back in. Even after I let Miguel know, he still stopped by to make sure everything was good. That alone speaks to the level of care this team brings.
