Need help changing the lock on my smp safe

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Need help changing the lock on my smp safe

Postby mrjonnyespo » 1 Oct 2023 15:11

Hi guys and gals. I recently purchased a smp safe from a friend, I have no idea who has a copy of the key. That is the reason why I want to change the lock. I’ve looked on the internet for a new barrel and haven’t had any luck. I’ve emailed smp to ask if they can help but haven’t gotten a reply back yet.

Does anyone know where I can buy a new barrel or would it be an option to take the old barrel to a lock smith and he can change the teeth in the barrel and make a new key?

I think ideally buying a new barrel would be the most time efficient way. Any advice is accepted

Here are some pictures.

Hi, I assume you mean the lock, when you write barrel. You should be able to buy a new lock at 1010security: https://1010security.com/s2-7-42.html They are usually dealing with professionals, but I assume they will help you with a lock. The key might be to short, but maybe you will find a locksmith nearby who makes a copy of these keys on longer blanks.

Another option could be to reorder the tumblers inside the lock and get keys for this, but this requires a more skilled locksmith and more effort and work.

And you might be lucky and find a replacement lock on ebay, e.g. this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401784811201 They have as the fourth image the dimensions.
