Re: Need help with an old safe The other obvious thing is to reverse the digits within each number, i.e., 13-61-98 or 51-61-98 (and +/- 3 and 5). |

There's an 800 number on that page link. |

| reply to Ken
i dont think i seen this suggested. Try ignoring the 1 in 315 and try that as a 35 for the first number and in with other numbers in various order(s) as you have been doing. |

said by mattmag:And who knows, really. The three could mean "Add 3 to each number" or "take away 3"........ oh my..
OR if he's so sure that it's a 3 number combination:
16 (-/+3) = 13 or 19
89 (-/+1) = 88 or 90
38 (-/+5) = 33 or 42
As for those saying to safe crack, well I deal with about 5 combination locks at work (3 to 4 numbers each). What I notice is a "tick". It's not heard as much as it is felt as I spin the disc. I don't feel it when I reach the number on the last revolution, but I feel it when I pass over the number while completeing revolutions. |

I have tried 31+5=36 and I believe if it was 35 it would have opened when I dialed 36. From what I understand the tolerance is sloppy enough that you can dial 1 number in either direction of the correct number and it still opens. |

other ideas: check the bottom and back of the safe for numbers.
a saw or angle grinder with diamond wheel will open but destroy it. |

BTW Ken, when you tested all your combinations, did you try turning the disc in the opposite direction at the very end, see if it locks up? Safes at my work require that move, otherwise they don't unlock.
When you try your combinations, first try opening it without turning the disc after the last digit, and if it doesn't work, try turning the disc. At least you'd be covering that possibility at the same time. |

another thought comes to mind. since there are so many different possibilities i assume you are writing down and keeping a record of everything you tried. Try each twice just in case you missed something / mis dialed on first attempt. |

kudos:1 | I second Norbert.
Even with the correct numbers I still have some safes that are moody. They'll either open on the first try, or not open until after 3-4 attemps. |

Yes after the last number I turn the opposite way to see if it stops, which so far it hasn't. I have not been trying to open it on the last number as the way I understand it you have to turn it the opposite way to what we might call the 4th number where it should stop turning. Yes I have a large list of the numbers I have already tried, and when it feels like the dial wants to stop on the number I will try that combination again just to be sure. |

for God's sake, don't cut it open. i know a LOT of people that keep the black powder for their muzzleloaders in the safe.
on both of my safes, after dialing in the combination you have to turn the dial the opposite way of the last action until it stops before actually opening it.......... |

Never knew they were so expensive.
But if you want one for less than $10 then

Can you use a stethoscope to hear anything when turning it? |

Have you looked for a local lock club? Many groups crack locks as a hobby. There might be one close to you. |
