I've owned safes for 30+ years and have never had any of them serviced. I've never had a problem with one, with either mechanical or electronic locks.

Who told you that?

I have been a locksmith for over 10 years. Other than high use safes at banks & cash rooms. Your safe does not need regular service unless it's in a highly corrosive environment. I have had the same safe for about 13 years it's never been serviced.

Sun Welding, local safe co next to me in simi valley. Was more pissed that it was $130 than having to service the damn thing lol. Luckily i declined.

I have had a Sun Welding safe for some 30 years now, never had a "service".

Having used safes daily through my professional career; if a safe is used often (opened multiple times per day) it will require maintenance.

Nothing worse than having your secure items in a locked container you can't open because the lock or handle has failed.

They are much easier to service and repair before you are locked out! If the mechanics feel rough or different don't wait to call for service

We have a safe that was from a family business and before that it was a small Wells Fargo safe It has inner "day time" doors and outer doors. It must be at least 80 years old now and to my knowledge it has never been serviced.

Never heard of it.

I change the belts and oil the bearings on my safe every year and haven't had any issues yet.

$130? Sounds like you're the one getting "serviced."

How much blinker fluid do they use?

I understand that it is a mechanical device, but it should last tens of thousands of cycles at the very least if it is quality.

What exactly is involved in this "service"?

I remember using a safe at a retail establishment back in the day and it was opened 20 times a day. I don't remember it ever being serviced.
