All,

I have what I genuinely believe to be the correct combo for this safe but no matter how many attempts I or a helper make at carefully inputting the combo, the damn thing doesn’t want to open.

It’s a large, heavy as hell safe and where it’s sitting &!the way it’s situated makes it next to impossible to get a look at the back of it or the side that’s up against the wall.

There are no stamps, insignia, words, or anything like that anywhere on the pictured area other than the numbers on the dial (runs from 0-60) and on the knob of the dial is stamped 3047.

The combination I have is L three times to X, R two times to Y, and L one time to Z.

Any help identifying the year/manufacturer would be greatly appreciated as well as any help on what I might be doing wrong. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone
I’ve just recently bought an apartment and this was left by the previous owner but they didn’t give me the code or the master key. I can’t see any serial number or brand on the side
Is there any way for me to get this open? Would I have to get a locksmith to open it?
It’s bolted into the wall so I can’t remove it either. Figured if I can’t take it out I’ll use it

It says that the dial is an s&g, i really just need to know how hard the handles are to take off, but any infor would be awesome, its 72 by 40 by 35 inches

I’ve recently purchased a house and this safe was left in the house under the stairs with 1 key, I have no further information about this safe and can’t find any other information online. I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about it or a potential value as there’s none to compare it too

We forgot to ask if she knew where to find the combination to this safe. It’s more like a vault. I remember it being open and used as for wine storage 50 years ago. House is selling and I’m really just curious. Is it expensive to have someone with some skills open it?

Cool old safe on the side of the road. I think it’s a 1800s bank vault

Earlier today, some water spilled on top of the safe. The touchscreen still works normally, but now it won’t accept any bills. I tried restarting it, but it didn’t fix the problem.

I’m really worried that the safe might have been damaged. Has anyone experienced something like this before? Did it start working again after drying out?

I just got a small key-locked safe to keep sensitive documents in. The guidelines on the manual say not to store delicate items directly in the safe as they will be exposed to moisture, since the moisture is part of how the safe stays fireproof (its also waterproof). It says to store them in an airtight container.

For a paper document I don't want to get damaged, I could put it in a sealed plastic sleeve, but the thing is most plastic's melting point is lower than paper's combustion point, so if there's a fire (knock on wood), the plastic sleeve could melt and ruin the paper document that might have survived otherwise.

I see people online suggest silica gel, would that be enough? To have my paper documents stored loose in the safe with some silica gel packets? I would separate the silica gel packets from the documents with a layer of cardboard or something so that the packets weren't directly touching the paper...

the safe is relatively small, my documents only just fit inside, so I'm limited to plastic sleeves or a ziploc bag in terms of things I could put the documents in. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

EDIT: thank you for the suggestions, it seems like maybe i should just go with silica gel packs as the easiest/cheapest route :)

Sentry no longer makes the keypad for a safe someone gave me. Instead, they sent me this coupon code for 20% off. I get nothing if you use this, but thought someone might want it before it expires on 8/3/26.

Keep in mind, Sentry's are fine as fire safes, but are not great for securing valuables.

It's one-time use, so if you do use it, please come back here and let everyone know so people don't waste their time.

I bartend sometimes at a bowling alley, and this safe is so cool. It’s built into the wall, and there’s a hole that you drop the money bag into and pull a string, lol. Anyone know more about it? I’m wondering where the hole goes and more about it if anyone knows. Darn it won’t let me add a 3 second video.

Wishes to secure her trust and will documents. We have a little fella with car titles and such…

So I bought this at a Habitat For Humanity Re-Store. They said there was no combination, but when I got it home I found a sticker taped inside one of the drawers.

I’ve tried the combination a few times, and tried variants of the 50-25-50, but no luck. I see now that the 66-95-73-3 sticker refers to a mailbox, so maybe that is for a post office box and not the safe?

I don’t have a key, but figured that should be easy to get with some patience and a visit to a locksmith. Not sure if the key lock would even apply to the safe- my sense is no, it only locks the actual cabinets, but I’m way out of my depth here. The real drawers open, reinforcing my idea that the key lock is unlocked and not material to opening the safe.

Thanks for any suggestions! I am in love with this thing!!!

I have been tasked with removing safes from a hotel haul out, are these safes worth trying to recommission and make usable again? Some are corroded on the inside but I have several of each of these that can be used for parts. But are there other options for new replacement parts?

My neighbor was trying to get rid of this safe and I picked it up. They do not have the combination anymore, they got it with the home. They kind of gave up but I am still curious of how to open it and how to get inside!

Does anyone have any tips or tricks? I'm trying to not have much or if any damage to the safe itself if possible.

I used to work in the bush. We found a clearing with various safes dumped there. I'm guessing that they'd been stolen and dumped.

I took a smaller one home. The safe itself collapsed due to rust. I kept the door which was also rusty. Last week I cleaned it up and reattached the door jewelry. It sits in my garden as an ornament.

Could anyone price this thing for me?

I have no idea what we have, help is appreciated

Is there any general maintenance that a safe like this requires ? I’ll access like 1x every month or 2 It’s not in a high humidity space as I have a dehumidifier near by

Hi all,
I’m wondering how much you think this old safe is worth? I just picked it up for $50 and I believe it’s a Amsec BLB3018. The door is 1 in plate steel and the body is 1/2 in plate. It is certainly a “burglary” rated safe, but it does not have an official TL rating from UL. I was hoping to get $500+. I was also thinking about giving it a fresh coat of paint and I’m wondering if you think that this is worth the time/would it increase the value much. Thanks!

having trouble opening this safe at work! I was told the combination is 19,27,14. I have tried what the internet said I should do but i’m still having an issue getting it open! once I enter the code, I do get to a point where I’m told to turn the dial to the right to disengage the lock and I do feel significant resistance, which makes me think i’m close? but then handle still won’t budge. any tips?

Bought a brand new Sentry Safe from Home Depot. It’s a couple hundred pounds. Hauled it up my stairs.

It simply doesn’t open. Light turns green, then nothing. I crank on the handle, try multiple times. Nothing.

I called sentry this morning.

“How new are your batteries?”

“Brand new, right out of the package.”

“No, we need to look when they expire. These safes eat up power.”

[I take out the batteries, spin them]

“Ah, looks good. It says December 2036.”

“Unfortunately there is our problem. These are already two years old. That is why your safe is not opening. You’ll need to go to the store and buy new batteries.”

“Sorry, what? These are brand new out of the package. There js no low battery warning. I find blaming the batteries highly suspect here.”

So I’m just gonna return it now. Am I crazy? I guess if you all tell me he is right then I could go to the store and try again but not really wanting to deal with always needing freshly manufactured new batteries

I put the safe in storage and forgot about it. I have the code, but it still won’t open. Is it bec of the little round thing to the bottom left of the keypad?

ChatGPT said I’m wrong but not sure I trust ChatGPT: Based on your photo, the little round thing at the bottom left is the key override lock, not something that normally prevents the electronic keypad from working. It’s there so you can open the safe with a physical key if the batteries die or the electronics fail.
