Top Signs Your Safe Needs Professional Repair or Maintenance

Your safe is a fortress protecting your valuables, documents, and sensitive data. But like any mechanical or electronic device, it requires timely maintenance to keep functioning flawlessly. At Zista Services, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing all types of safes across East Africa — from Kenya to Ethiopia and beyond.




🚩 Warning Signs Your Safe Needs Attention



Recognizing early signs of malfunction can save you from costly lockouts or permanent damage. Here are common indicators:



1. Difficulty Opening or Closing



If your safe bolts feel stiff or jammed, or if the door doesn’t shut smoothly, this signals mechanical wear or internal misalignment.



2. Unresponsive Digital or Biometric Locks



Malfunctioning keypads or fingerprint scanners can leave you locked out or vulnerable.



3. Strange Noises



Grinding, clicking, or unusual sounds during operation often indicate worn gears or broken parts.



4. Battery Problems



Low battery warnings ignored for long can cause complete keypad failure.



5. Visible Damage or Rust



Exterior damage or rust can affect both the security and the fire-resistance of your safe.
