Safe Services for Businesses in Singapore
Uncle Thomas has worked on safes for commercial offices, pawnshops, banks and government ministries. One safesmith for opening, combination changes, new locks and new safes, with invoices for your accounts team.
- Offices, banks & pawnshops
- Invoices issued
- 24/7, discreet
The short answer: when a business safe won't open, the cost is usually the downtime: cash you can't bank, documents you can't reach, a counter you can't open. Uncle Thomas is a US-trained safesmith who has worked for commercial offices, pawnshops, banks and government ministries, and he's available 24/7, including before opening hours and after closing.
Who we work with
- Commercial offices: cash safes, document and filing safes, and key cabinets.
- Pawnshops and jewellers: safes holding pledges, gold and jewellery.
- Banks and financial businesses.
- Government ministries and agencies.
- Shops, restaurants and retail counters: drop safes and cash safes.
- Ships and vessels: Uncle Thomas has opened safes on board ships and cruise liners.

How we work with businesses
- Authorisation first. Before opening any business safe, we confirm the request comes from someone authorised by the business, such as a letter on company letterhead or confirmation from a director or manager.
- Price agreed before work starts, from photos of the safe.
- Invoices issued to the company for your records.
- Timed around your business: early mornings, after closing, weekends and public holidays.
- Discreet: we don't name our business clients or publish where their safes are.
Pawnshops and jewellers
Pawnbrokers in Singapore must keep their pledges secure and insured against theft under the Registry of Pawnbrokers' licence conditions. A safe that won't open at the start of the day means pledges customers can't redeem. Call 9224 9224 any time, and keep a note of the safe's brand and model so we can bring the right equipment.
Keep business safes trouble-free
- Change the code whenever a key holder leaves, and record the date.
- Replace keypad batteries on a schedule, not when they die.
- Keep override keys off-site or in a separate secure place, never inside the safe.
- Don't let staff force a sticking dial or handle. Call us before it jams completely.
Other safe services
- Safe opening: forgotten combination, lost key, dead keypad or jammed bolt.
- Safe combination change and safe lock replacement.
- Safe supply and installation: we recommend, source and install the right safe.
- Commercial safe services for offices, shops, pawnshops, banks and government agencies.


Frequently Asked Questions
Do you open safes for banks and government agencies?
Uncle Thomas has worked on safes for commercial offices, pawnshops, banks and government ministries. We need authorisation from the organisation before opening.
Can you issue an invoice to our company?
Yes. We issue invoices for business jobs.
Can you come before our shop opens?
Yes. We work 24/7, including early mornings, late nights, weekends and public holidays.
Our safe needs drilling. Will it still be usable?
It depends on the safe. Some can be opened and stay usable; most faulty safes need drilling. We explain the options and price before starting, and the lock can often be replaced afterwards.

Typically a letter on company letterhead or confirmation from a director or manager, plus ID of the person meeting us.
