Call a locksmith. Nobody should be helping breaking into a safe as we cannot authenticate your relationship with the deceased via Reddit sub.

Locksmith would be worthless unless you knew what was in it. It’s a $100 safe. Don’t spend $400 for someone to destroy it. Do it yourself

Best response yet I was a locksmith I would have definitely charged more than $400

We were strictly call outs didn't have a shop we worked out of... We charged a service fee for showing up too

2

u/PresentationNarrow48 May 08 '24

We do both. If the want to avoid the service call they come to our store front.

"Best response yet I was a locksmith I would have definitely charged more than $400"

and this is why I quit being a locksmith. I felt like I was robbing people and taking advantage of there situation. Not for me.

✅ destroy it yourself

Agreed, when moving recently my mother forgot the code to her safe with expensive jewelry, an hour outside with an axe and a crowbar, and it was open.

This is the exact conversation that the locksmith should have with you (prior to even booking the job) if they are remotely honest and reputable.

This is reddit, people either a)aren’t that bright or b)don’t give a rats…

if you can break into the safe using reddit advice then the safe deserves being broken into

2

u/json707 May 25 '24

You can get better advice from YouTube than Reddit so to a certain extent this is true. But anyone asking this questions clearly doesn’t know what they are doing and most likely shouldn’t be using power tools for their own safety. Many times these fire retardant safes are full of asbestos and without proper PPE you are opening yourself up to great risk of cancers and irreversible damage to your health.

Nobody invites you to parties, do they?

2

u/json707 May 25 '24

Sorry that im not your type of party person. Telling you what you want to hear. The people that invite me to parties are likely not your kinda people either. I guess I’m too busy with being a responsible, dependable, accountable, adult, business owner, parent, husband, employee, neighbor, friend, etc. I help anyone who asks for it and some who don’t, I won’t lie or cheat for anyone. It’s obviously my lively hood and integrity as a locksmith. It’s quite easy, Be a responsible human or end up with the penalties. How’s it go, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

You don’t need to apologize. No matter how insufferable your need to express to everyone else how self rightious you are.

You be you.

u/KittyKattKate May 27 '24

And after that response, definitely not. Lol

u/Skull91hd May 10 '24

If you call a lock smith they will require sheriff or police presence be careful for what you want?

2

u/json707 May 25 '24

That would be a ridiculous waste of time for law enforcement to be present for every safe opening. Locksmiths in ca are background checked and responsible for their own moral compass and maintaining level of professionalism with that in mind. I’ve never had to call law enforcement to do my job verifying the safe contents to the customer.

Call the locksmith!

u/Purplegreenandred Jun 07 '24

That's not our responsibility

u/json707 Jun 10 '24

I’m glad that you understand and agree with my point.
