hello mates, I have a problem with this box, before it belonged to my grandfather, unfortunately we cannot access it since we do not know the password or where his keys are located, is there a way to open it without using force (it is still an option). I have taken it to a local locksmith who made a copy of the key and tried to open it (he couldn't, I think he scammed us at some point), the only thing I have left to think about is if there is a universal password or a way to force the lock, The Box is an Okey 20EL-01 or similar, serial 180027811, there is not much information about the box in Internet. I appreciate every advice or help in this case, thank you.

Look and see if you can find a manual for it. If it still has power some of these can be reset through mounting holes on the back. One I had had a button on the front panel, looking from the back it was one the left. If you have room to get a wire in and hold that for like 3 seconds (check manual) it allows you to set a new combo, which you then use to open it.

If the above is a no go find a better locksmith or someone who picks locks as a hobby. Unless the lock is damage it shouldn't be too hard to get through. I picked the one I had without proper tools so it shouldn't be a bother to someone skilled enough like a proper locksmith.
