Basically any company will do that when required via legal means. This isn't even slightly implausible.

They probable served Liberty Safes a subpoena to go along with the search warrant they had to search his house. That way they didn't have to have someone drill and destory the safe.

My question is how? Either the guy I purchased my safe from lied to me, or is a damn good dealer.


When he delivered my safe he told me there was no combo set and we came up with a series of numbers and that’s what opens my safe.

I have a liberty safe, but I did not purchase it directly from liberty?

I'm asking for a friend of course.

Apple had a system where they didn't have a backdoor to unlock the phone.  They were able to show that they couldn't comply.

I don't know about Liberty in particular, but I do know of another major brand that has a secret code to get into their safes.  They won't give it to law enforcement, they have a company rep open it.

When you buy a safe does it have the combo in the owners manual?

If so the company has that info to cross refference with the name & serial #.

Of course if you paid cash and didn't fill out the warranty card or bought 2nd hand it reduces the chance of a friendly hand over.

I  changed my combo the very next day ( as soon as I could get a guy out there)

So no they don't have my current combo just the one that was listed in the manual.

They’d get in the safe either way. It all just depends on the time it takes, the feds would have all year.

They have time for this but not the 22,000 classified emails on Hillary's server or Hunter's laptop scandals.

There's no comparison there.

The feds didn't ask Liberty to break into the safe.  They would have had a warrant for information they may have had - the combination of the safe when it was shipped.  

In the case of Apple, Apple doesn't have your passcode.  The feds can present a warrant for it, but Apple doesn't have it.  The feds could then demand that Apple break into the phone with brute force or a backdoor, or whatever.  And I think most of those demands would fail to pass muster in courts.

And, it doesn't even matter, because LE can be inside a Liberty safe in five minutes.  "Oh, no, Bob!  A Liberty safe!  What are we going to do?"

I can't speak for all safes, but the majority of digital code safes are shipped with a combination that is unique to the serial number...as long as they know the SN, they can release the combination.  I know this, because I've had to request them myself from both Mesa and Sentry.  Now, I am not sure they could do anything without the SN....or, if I'd changed the combination from the original.

Why i bought a spin dial.
