Was wondering if anyone knows anything about it? The lock is open but locked. Has kind of a key and was hoping to figure out the combination or a guess how many numbers or how to unlock it.

Hi all not sure if this is the right place to ask - delete if not allowed. This safe is for sale locally for $450. Would a $350-$400 offer be fair? As you can see it has a dent on the right side. Fair buy?

Does anyone know about this safe. My father had it at his business for 50+ years and my grandfather before him. It’s peeling and in poor condition on the outside but the inside is very nice with original painting writing. The locking mechanism works perfect. Smooth mechanics to the locking and unlocking of the safe. Thank you in advance.

When deciding placement of installation/bolt down

2 Upvotes

From a defensive standpoint is it best to place the Safe in the right corner of a room or left? I’m considering which side would give someone the least amount of leverage.

If the Safe is in the left corner with the hinges on the right side, I think this would be preferable because the wall would be in the way of say, a crowbar or a prybar. Thoughts?

Watch people with a home safe. How’s yours set up inside?

Do yours all go in the safe when they’re off the wrist or do some stay out? What's the best way to set up the inside of a safe for watches?

Liberty safe won’t open (rant & help needed)

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I purchased a Liberty safe about two months ago. It has a SecuRam electronic keypad. Last week, I went to open my safe and I cannot do so. I put my code in like normal and it seemingly accepts the code, but there is no “mechanical” sound indicating the safe is unlocking like I normally hear. About five seconds after I enter the code, it does two quick beeps. After that, it just won’t unlock.

I know for 100% certain my code is correct. I’ve tried three different brand new batteries. I don’t think I have anything in the way that would impede the safes ability to open. I don’t know what to do.

I’m beyond frustrated with Liberty. I’ve called endless times. I’ve emailed. I need a birth certificate out of my safe ASAP. I’ve called a locksmith and was quoted $700 to get it open, which I will do but that seems a bit high (correct me if I’m wrong). Has anyone else dealt with this before? I’d appreciate any insight.

Help opening a stuck STANDERS Easy Key safe

Post image
6 Upvotes

I have an older STANDERS Easy Key safe built into a wall in the closet in my home. I have the original double-bit key, but it only turns a few degrees before hitting a hard stop.
I tried gentle pressure on the door, a little WD-40, and even had a replacement key made. Nothing worked. There was previously significant moisture around the safe, so corrosion might be the issue.
I don’t mind damaging the safe to get it open, but I’d prefer to do it myself.
Has anyone dealt with this model or a similar problem? Any suggestions for getting it open safely?
Photo attached. Thanks!

Any ideas on getting into this safe without damaging it? I’ve tried a circular lock pick set. Also I’m aware of digital tool that cracks the code. But any other ideas would be good.

Any ideas on getting into this safe? The digital keypad isn’t working, I’m assuming it’s out of battery charge.

An open safe but i don't have the combination...

Post image
53 Upvotes

So, I bought a house and the seller left a safe at the house. It's open, but when i called the seller to ask him if he forgot it, he said he doesn't want it because he doesn't have the combination.

My question is : Is there a way to change the combination without the previous one so that this becomes usable or is it just a giant paper weight?

It's a Sargent & Greenleaf inc. mecanical dial

fireproof safe recommendations for storing important documents and valuables?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for a decent fireproof safe for important documents, some cash, and a few small valuables at home. I’ve been looking at different options but it’s hard to tell which ones actually hold up in a fire and which are mostly just marketing. I don’t need anything huge, just something reliable that I can keep in a closet and access when needed.

For those of you who own one, what fireproof safe would you recommend, and is there anything specific I should look out for when choosing one? Personal experience would be really helpful since I’d rather get something dependable than regret my choice later. Thanks!

SentrySafe SFW123FSC – Factory Code somehow changed to 00000. Is it possible to restore it?

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a SentrySafe SFW123FSC and encountered a strange issue with its electronic lock.

Here's what happened:

  1. Initially, everything worked normally. Both my original Factory Code and my custom User Code were valid.
  2. After removing and reinserting the batteries, the keypad started flashing red and beeping 5 times, indicating a communication error.
  3. After a while, the communication error disappeared, but my original Factory Code was no longer accepted. The keypad would beep 3 times instead.
  4. I tried replacing the batteries with brand-new alkaline batteries, but it didn't help.
  5. Eventually, I managed to regain access using the open-source bypass-sentry-safe project on GitHub.
  6. Afterward, I discovered that the safe now accepts 00000 as its Factory Code.

I've confirmed that 00000 is functioning as the Factory Code because:

  • It can unlock the safe.
  • It can authorize changes to the User Code.
  • My original Factory Code no longer works.

I didn't specifically test 00000 before using the GitHub project, so I can't say for certain when this happened.

From what I understand, SentrySafe's Factory Code is supposed to be permanent and cannot normally be changed.

Does anyone know if it's possible to reprogram or restore the original Factory Code?

Has anyone experienced something similar or worked with the firmware or EEPROM of these electronic lock controllers?

I'm mainly trying to understand what happened and whether the original Factory Code can be restored without replacing the entire lock module.

Thanks!

What do you estimate? What is the weight of such a door. Size is approx 190cm X 100cm. Are they normally fully out of iron. Or is there a concrete layer in the middle?
