Buying directly from a locksmith or safe company?

Did you really need me to point that out?

Won't lie, watching this method was rather eye opening.

I had a cheap safe one time that the gears stripped out on the handle or something and it wouldn't open. I went and got a special blade for a skil saw and cut it open. It wasn't fun.

There are youtube videos for all types of safes. Amazing how many "keys" there are to safes.

Actually had this problem a few days ago. Battery died on safe's keypad. Couldn't find spare key. Luckily there is a youtube video showing how to break into my safe. Thirty minutes later I was in. Hope you have a hammer, screwdriver, file, and, possibly, a crowbar on hand.

Why don't you put the key on your key ring with the rest of your keys?

You dolt.

Post a piç or a link to the brand and type.

If it's just a lock box then you can open it with a tire tool or a screw driver and a hammer. I have opened one of those with s paper clip too, but it was a cheap one.

I finally quit using one because they can be stolen just as easily as picking it up carrying it out and even if the theif couldn't pop it open in 2 minutes then they would still have it and I wouldn't.

Post a pic shite stain.

If a standard concrete plastic and metal safe, you can be inside it with a set of snips and a sledge hammer fairly quickly.

I have something similar bolted to the floor of my suv.

My son had a safe that the electronic lock quit working on. I just drilled through the outer wall using progressively larger drill bits, formed the pattern of a square, and eventually made a hole big enough to pull everything out. It had a locking mechanism but was primarily designed as a fire proof safe.

Check the "What kind of spider is this" thread below. There were some likely solutions in there.

I know a guy that can open it in less than 10 seconds.

He is in Decatur,Al. though.

Maybe there is somebody in your area that can do it,but the ones that can actually pick locks and crack safes, are getting harder to find.

Did you call the manufacturer about a replacement key?
