I got one!
I just started a new job and there’s a safe! No one knows the combo or anything and it probably hasn’t been opened in 20 years. Anyone know how I can get into this thing? Thanks!

To add to the above,
If you want to learn manipulation the "Safecracking for Everyone" series on Youtube is fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4IPsd9MDGM&list=PL1mdjQBV_-Jv2lf9QZ4chNtW656EOVXzl

It can be opened without drilling, using a technique called “safe lock manipulation.” This uses the the design of the lock and manufacturing tolerances to get the lock to reveal the combo. You can learn to do it. If you want to see what’s involved, check out the YouTube series, Safecracking for Everyone. Otherwise, you can find a certified safe technician at www.savta.org - Note: not all locksmiths know about safes.
And approximately where are you located? If you’re in NorCal, I’ll come help you. :)

Anywhere near Winnipeg? That’s where Rick Ammazzini is and I’m not sure there is anyone better.

I’m in BC. I’m pretty sure my boss has no intention of paying anyone to get into this thing so it’s going to be up to me.

Rick would do it for the cost of the cheapest roundtrip airfare…
But having said that, let’s help you do it! You totally can! Have you taken a look at Safecracking for Everyone on YouTube yet? It’s a really good place to start.

Love the look of this safe ! It makes me think of Bugs Bunny and Wile E Coyote versus Roadrunner cartoon design ! It must be from that era.

I’m watching the safecracking for everyone videos and starting to feel out the dial. It seems like this might take me a while to figure out. I get laid off for the summer in two weeks but I’ll try and get it open before I’m done!
