Not goiing to happen, they will have to get design info from the safe company of where to drill, drill the safe, destroy the lockset, buy a new lockset, weld up the drill hole to fill it back in, refinish/paint the safe.
Unless it's really a good safe probably will cost half the price of a new one. Not worth the effort. But call a locksmith as they could answer better. |

Here is a link to one locksmith, says minimum $180 charge for lockout of a gun safe. Before travel charges I assume.

May I ask what good having the safe serial number would be (unless the former owner left the combination set to the factory default)?

$180 would be worth it, if I can't do it myself.

It was a store display so it is set to the factory combination. |

It can be done. It will take expensive people/equipment. It may be more cost effective to suffer some repairable damage.

Auto-dialer. A well equipped safe-smith will probably have one if he does any real traffic in gaining
entry to forgotten-combo safes. Depending on the make of the safe and the lock will determine how long it takes. I've seen them take a half-hour for a cheap lock, to almost a full 24 hours on a high-security lock. I'd offer to help but I have to keep mine in the console room, and me walking out with it at the end of the day would raise too many eyebrows.

It is a 4 number combination. I have worked with safes like these but from the inside out, they are not hard to figure out from that view. The same store had one that was locked open and they had also lost the information from it too. Tanker06 where in VA? If I buy the safe I'll take it where ever I have to to get it opened. How much would ya charge? |

If it's a mechanical S+G type combination spin dial lock, then buy the one with the door open. It's easy to get into the back of this type of lock and either figure out the original combination or reset it to a combination you want.

They don't have that one anymore, after I gave them the combo they sold it, or this is the same one and they lost the combination twice. |
