Mind you, the story usually reads "I recently moved in/purchased a house and found this in the basement". Most people that come here with epic tales of opening safes are motivated by their own curiosity and are often disappointed.
You either have to spend a year and a day learning how to manipulate combination locks or to strong arm your way in there. If you are determined to get in there, there is no quick fix.
Unfortunately even cheaper combination dials still take a set of skills that comes to you after pouring much time into learning. This is a picture of the style of safe in question. The contents are not especially valuable, but I do want them opened. This might be a problem, and frankly if it came down to that, I would just cut them open.
I bought them, but never registered them. However, tips on cutting them open would also be very appreciated.Īpparently Sentry can open them for a fee, but they are not registered to me. I have no objection to sawing them open somehow, if that is the easiest route, but it would be better (and probably more fun) to open them nondestructively. At this point, the contents are almost a time capsule, and I am not 100% sure what all is in them, save a few articles that I recently have need of. And lost the combination probably 14 years ago. They are older safes, I probably bought them 15 years ago. Does anyone know if it is reasonably possible for someone with no safecracking skills to open one of these? I have two of them, still have the keys, but lost the combinations many years ago.
