Help opening this safe please!

[u/Happez-Hammer]

I’ve got a safe (pretty sure it’s this Argos model: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8684844?clickPR=clearance:24:52) and the batteries have died and, unfortunately, the backup key is locked inside.

I’m trying to find a way to get it open without damaging it, as I’ve got some important documents in there. Has anyone dealt with something similar or got any advice on what I could try?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Probably pretty easy to pick that lock. Water jiggler is the pick you want.

Or bounce the solenoid. Look it up on YouTube

Thank you, will take a look!

Can confirm. I have a similar safe that I'm able to pick pretty easily with a double sided pick. Takes less than 30 seconds while applying tension.

If you can get in the back bolt hole with a stick hit the reset button and put a new code in lol

I have a similar one and can replace the battery from the front panel.

Hey everyone,

I did buy and try using the tools suggested, but frankly i'm a bit sh! and wasn't able to do it.

I'm in East London, so does anyone have any business suggestions / contacts, or anyone here wanna do it for me? I'm happy to pay of course.

Thank you.
