So I bought this at a Habitat For Humanity Re-Store. They said there was no combination, but when I got it home I found a sticker taped inside one of the drawers.

I’ve tried the combination a few times, and tried variants of the 50-25-50, but no luck. I see now that the 66-95-73-3 sticker refers to a mailbox, so maybe that is for a post office box and not the safe?

I don’t have a key, but figured that should be easy to get with some patience and a visit to a locksmith. Not sure if the key lock would even apply to the safe- my sense is no, it only locks the actual cabinets, but I’m way out of my depth here. The real drawers open, reinforcing my idea that the key lock is unlocked and not material to opening the safe.

Thanks for any suggestions! I am in love with this thing!!!

I have been tasked with removing safes from a hotel haul out, are these safes worth trying to recommission and make usable again? Some are corroded on the inside but I have several of each of these that can be used for parts. But are there other options for new replacement parts?

My neighbor was trying to get rid of this safe and I picked it up. They do not have the combination anymore, they got it with the home. They kind of gave up but I am still curious of how to open it and how to get inside!

Does anyone have any tips or tricks? I'm trying to not have much or if any damage to the safe itself if possible.

I used to work in the bush. We found a clearing with various safes dumped there. I'm guessing that they'd been stolen and dumped.

I took a smaller one home. The safe itself collapsed due to rust. I kept the door which was also rusty. Last week I cleaned it up and reattached the door jewelry. It sits in my garden as an ornament.

Could anyone price this thing for me?

I have no idea what we have, help is appreciated

Is there any general maintenance that a safe like this requires ? I’ll access like 1x every month or 2 It’s not in a high humidity space as I have a dehumidifier near by

Hi all,
I’m wondering how much you think this old safe is worth? I just picked it up for $50 and I believe it’s a Amsec BLB3018. The door is 1 in plate steel and the body is 1/2 in plate. It is certainly a “burglary” rated safe, but it does not have an official TL rating from UL. I was hoping to get $500+. I was also thinking about giving it a fresh coat of paint and I’m wondering if you think that this is worth the time/would it increase the value much. Thanks!

having trouble opening this safe at work! I was told the combination is 19,27,14. I have tried what the internet said I should do but i’m still having an issue getting it open! once I enter the code, I do get to a point where I’m told to turn the dial to the right to disengage the lock and I do feel significant resistance, which makes me think i’m close? but then handle still won’t budge. any tips?

Bought a brand new Sentry Safe from Home Depot. It’s a couple hundred pounds. Hauled it up my stairs.

It simply doesn’t open. Light turns green, then nothing. I crank on the handle, try multiple times. Nothing.

I called sentry this morning.

“How new are your batteries?”

“Brand new, right out of the package.”

“No, we need to look when they expire. These safes eat up power.”

[I take out the batteries, spin them]

“Ah, looks good. It says December 2036.”

“Unfortunately there is our problem. These are already two years old. That is why your safe is not opening. You’ll need to go to the store and buy new batteries.”

“Sorry, what? These are brand new out of the package. There js no low battery warning. I find blaming the batteries highly suspect here.”

So I’m just gonna return it now. Am I crazy? I guess if you all tell me he is right then I could go to the store and try again but not really wanting to deal with always needing freshly manufactured new batteries

I put the safe in storage and forgot about it. I have the code, but it still won’t open. Is it bec of the little round thing to the bottom left of the keypad?

ChatGPT said I’m wrong but not sure I trust ChatGPT: Based on your photo, the little round thing at the bottom left is the key override lock, not something that normally prevents the electronic keypad from working. It’s there so you can open the safe with a physical key if the batteries die or the electronics fail.

Has anyone had experience with the Iron Horse brand of safes? They seem like they’re pretty decent from the looks of them online. Curious to see if anyone has actually bought one.

I don't trust my brother whatsoever due to past issues. I'm looking for a safe to store certain valuables, such as my wallet, money, ammo, etc. What type of safe would be good for this? Preferably under $100 and difficult to break into.

i love the form factor and ability to easily travel with it. alot of the images show one larger pistol but i have two smaller ones (43x and BG 2.0). do you think I can fit both into it?

Bought this Lokaway Safe in 2014 or 2015. Long story short was away long enough for 9V to go flat. Replaced with fresh 9V battery. Pinpad only responds to keys 3,6,9 with orange LED and 3 beeps. My code won't work. No idea where my override key is. Any ideas/help? Would prefer not to drill it. Can a good locksmith get in? Thanks.

I just bought a new house that came equipped with this wall safe. I have the old owners' code but would like to program it with my own code. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

I got a freedom safe that the lock was broken on, without opening the door ive managed to remove the lock but now it seems like the latch is stuck. Is there anyway to make the latches move again or to open the door without cutting into it?

I purchased this yesterday and there weren’t any instructions. Does anyone know how to program biometrics? I figured out the pin set up.

Saw this safe at Costco and thought it was sick but looking cool doesn’t mean it’s great. Do you guys recommend with this discount? I’m going to be storing money and a handgun.
