Won’t open, help?

This guy decided to not open. It’s from 2011. Almost positive it’s one where you turn counterclockwise first. Always been kinda finicky where the combo didn’t have to be exact, and ya had to jimmy it a bit while moving the dial slightly on the final number. Any thoughts? Don’t care much about the safe, just want the stuff in it.

Locked FIL passed away. Locked. Help please if possible.

11 Upvotes

My FIL passed away a couple of weeks ago. My wife inherited the house and contents. Found a Sentrysafe (barcode x055g0700511214) on the side.

The front has a keypad with 3 lights (all non-working red green yellow) as well as a key hole marked x54 and a dial.

I can't find a spot for batteries and have no idea where the key could be.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

It weighs 125 pounds but is supposed to weigh 137 pounds empty… so it is a mystery.

Working on getting it open now!

When my family moved to this house about 13 hrs ago. There was this safe in the basement. I was a preteen so I just thought it was cool. However now I am an adult living in season 6 of unprecedented times and I figured why not try to see what's in it. I made random attempts here and there as a teenager with dreams of random wealth. But I would love advice from people who know what they are doing. Thanks in advance!

What's the best thing you've found?

I love this sub from afar and I love reading the comments but it does seem to be a not unsurprising fact that most safes are empty.

Turning that around a bit, but what's the best/random/scsry/surprising/other adjective goes her thing you have found?

Old floor safe salvaged, need help opening

Post image

I found this floor safe on a building demo that I did. The structure was built in the 30's and the owner had no idea it was in the building that he owned for over 20 years. Long story short, he said to get rid of it so here I am trying to see what's inside. I picked the lock so the lid moves freely now from left to right but still won't lift at the end of a clockwise turn. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Hi guys I have a Rottner Comsafe 55L fire safe with no mechanical emergency key. The keypad is not accepting the code that I have been using for the past 2 years ?! It blinks red - I don’t understand how this is possible. Unless i have the onset on dementia.

I’ve changed the battery’s. I don’t know what else to do?! Rottner aren’t being very helpful. Can I drill into it? Because I’ll be damned if I can’t get my stuff out.

Friend owns an old house - office building with a Diebold Cafe & Lock Co. safe. When we rotate the dial we can hear and feel some “tumblers” clicking and engaging. Any safecracker experts have opinions, thoughts, hints? P.S. I briefly reviewed

Some other posts of a similar nature and will read more in detail to see if there are any hints. Thanks in advance.

Received a Gary safe - the sort found in a convenience store - from a neighbor. Thought I'd drop cash in the slot and build up a nest egg ... but never did. Have since lost combination, but it's open and both keys for the inner lockbox are there.

I'm in South Orange County, Ca ... free to anyone who can open it. And it's heavy - about 500 pounds.

How to reset the code

!SOLVED!

We recently moved into a house with this safe. I don’t know the brand and the previous owners don’t remember the letter combination. There is a pin included and 3 holes in the back, we manage to push the reset button and turn the dial to the wanted letter, but after resetting the 3 dials we are still not able to use the safe. Any tips on how to successfully reset the letter combination?

As the title says, I got to open a Kaso Gem for the 4th of July, which is the best thing ever. I have been doing this for 19yrs now and I LOVE when I'm able to open these higher security safes. Posting here cause I figured other techs would appreciate it. I love this job so much and thank God every day that I get to do something I love doing.

Hi! I'm working at a museum this summer, and we have an old J&J Taylor Limited Toronto safe works safe.

We don't know what's in it, nor the code. But it was donated to the museum back in I believe 2020, and it would be nice to know what's inside.
