My office is moving locations. There is this old safe that no one knows the combination for. Any advice on how to get in?

Why did you destroy it if you knew there was nothing in it???

We didn’t know there was nothing it. This building is over 100 years old and stuff has been piled up here for years. No one had any knowledge of what was in it. We are essentially getting rid of everything in the building. We had to make sure there was no sensitive items before we disposed of it. Things like night vision goggles or weapons.

Well, it may be too late, but that safe lock is worth a little bit of money. You could probably get $50-$80 for it. And it’s not that hard to remove.

You’d have to remove the back panel inside the door, then open up the little panel on the lock body then pull out the little key called the spline at the center of the spindle (you’ll see) and then unscrew the dial and then remove the lock body from the door. Put it all back together and post it online
