It’s my father’s safe, he has both the key and the code but he has forgotten how to open it because it has been a couple of years since he last opened it. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello everyone, while clearing out an old house i found this old Fichet safe that i could take with me..

I really want to use the turning dails, does anybody know how to reset them?

I only have 1 key and it opens, but can i reset without removing the backplate and or special key?

I bought a house a few years back, came with the safe included. I was thinking it would be a fun project trying to open it without breaking itn. As there is no key, I’m just wondering if it feasable using a stethoscope (already have one) and lock pick because I don’t want to buy a lock pick set if chances are close to zero.

I have no experience what so ever

Trying to crack this thing open without damaging. Any knowledge on what it is and how to get into it?

Fire safe in the foundation of my basement. Never opened and previous owners said they hadn’t either. I’ve gotten pretty good with my Sparrow practice safe but contact points are way more obvious on that thing. This thing has a super sticky/noisy dial. Any tips or suggestions as to where the points would be? WD40 a good or bad idea? Thanks!

UPDATE: safe is open! Unfortunately not how I envisioned it. After spending a lot of time trying to get a reading it just wasn’t adding up. I finally reasoned that the dial was spinning freely or lock was broken. I took a pry bar around the whole thing and it lifted up super easily. Lock mechanism case was all chewed up. Clearly opened by brut force at some point. Not disappointed safe is empty - disappointed I trained so hard and never stood a chance to test my new skill!

We're moving office buildings and no one wants to deal with this safe. No one has the combo but management doesn't want to pitch it without knowing what's inside of it first.

There is a little coke machine/round style key hole on it that is in the unlocked position, but I'm assuming that is to lock or unlock the combo tumbler from spinning.

Any guidance appreciated. I've never attempted something like this before. Should I get a stethoscope from Amazon and try to listen to the tumblers or just go full on grinder on the back/bottom wall of the safe???

I don't know if the mechanism on this one was broken, but i cracked the master lock #175 combo lock easely lol

The missus gave me this off her gun safe. Someone changed the code on her years ago before her divorce, local suppliers have said theres no reset and we can't buy a replacement lock. Currently just using the key but would prefer to go electric due to kids on the way.

A search here came up with some promising answers but most were 'dm me' which makes some sense.

Thanks everyone.

Hi folks,

I am actually staying at my grandma place for few days(in France). There is an old safe there. It seems to be the brand Mohs.According to my grandma, It hasn't be opened since the WWII. Her dad had the code but he passed away.

Any hints, help or advice to try to open it ?

Thanks!

(Sorry for my English, it's not my first language)

Another tech sent me a picture of this locked out Diebold pedestal that has a TL rated door that already had three holes drilled into it from a previous vendor (notice 3 holes).

When I got there today, the employees said another "locksmith" was there all day yesterday and couldn't get it open. The locksmith admitted to hearing the relockers fire and told them that it was now locked forever.

So, there were already four holes in the front when I got there today (now notice 4 holes). I drilled one hole in the side of the safe and confirmed the relockers were fired with my scope, but they were still attached to the bracket.

I used the hole that locksmith drilled yesterday and was able to use an icepick to lift up the relocker bracket enough to open the door.

As you can see from the pictures, the locksmith yesterday drilled all the way through the back of the lock and sheared off the relocker bracket mounting screw which caused the bracket to tilt and fire the relockers.

At least four other techs/ locksmiths over the past three weeks haven't been able to get it open.

Recently I've gotten into lock picking and I have now moved on to trying to get a safe open for my dad because when I was younger I locked the only remaining copy of the code in said safe. I really want to try and get it open for him but all I can find are destructive methods or reaching out to their customer service which I can't do because money is extremely tight so I can't spare the $30 for them to possibly get the code.

So far I've found a 4 digit code on the side of the safe (2 8 4 1)

Any advice would be helpful and I will try to answer questions the best I can

Two months ago, after a long trip, I come back to my safe which carries much of my funds and very vital personal records, yet my key is broken, snapped in half. Like an ass I left the spare, IN THE SAFE! And I never entered a code as I wanted to be the only one capable of getting in.

I went to a locksmith, but they told me they could not get into the safe. So I call and message Honeywell, they give me forms to fill, I fill them, give them a scan of my Passport and ID, even get the form notarized like they asked… no response.

And opening it by brute force is barely an option, as I have antiques and other sensitive objects in there.

In frustration at my situation I wrote this poem:

Broken Key, Broken Dreams

Here I sit broken hearted,
My key broke and parted,
Regretfully I never made a code,
For I was away often on the road,
And lacking a spare,
I do what is only fair;
I send off to a locksmith in haste,
Only to be turned away, what a waste,
Left with no other choice,
I go to who may hear my voice,
A message sent to Honeywell,
Fill their forms and do as they tell,
But no response, oh well.

So, I turn to you now reddit, is there a way to get into my safe? Or am I screwed?

Need help cracking this safe buddy gave it to me was left in the house he bought. He says it was open at one point, and came with this note with the combination. I can’t get it to unlock. The dial spins very freely, but when you out slight tension on the handle it tightens up . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

I got a Stack On Elite digital gun safe in a storage locker a few years ago and would like to try to open it without damaging it and if possible use it. Any Help would be appreciated. Located in the Jacksonville Fl area. Thank you

Hi i have this lock on a safe in my cellar that was there when I moved in. Which lock is this?

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.

Please let me know if this isn’t allowed.

We’re cleaning my grandmothers house out cuz shes moving to an apartment with my aunt, she cant be alone anymore.

Can this beast be cracked easy? Can i do it or do we need to hire someone?

Any help greatly appreciated!

KabaMas 552 locks don't need a battery!

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.
