seriously, divorced relative needs a gun safe opened/ picked so it can still be used. Does anyone reccomend anyone in the Ashtabula area ? The x will not give the combination and I REALLY want to see/ buy/sell what is there. The x has not requested the guns and its time to open the safe.

person with safe prefers recomendations to the yellow pages.

Sometimes we need not ask why , but just provide a solution.

From inventory of ammo, there is nothing special inside the safe, Just shrugged my shoulders and said I would ask .

thanks

Call the manufacturer of the safe. They may even provide the combination if you give them the same call back number that is on their warrranty information.

If you have the serial# for the safe, a smith can get the original combo, assuming it has not been changed.

or just move the safe while full......

get a locksmith. they can get in easy. remember theft of a firearm is a FEDERAL FELONY. get a lawyer involved to detemine ownership of the weapons. jail time is not worth what ever is in that safe. you may also want to video tape the opening and inventory of the safe. the x may latter say there was a million bucks in gold, diamonds, cash. you get the idea. cover your ass.

Real safes all come from the factory with the same 50-25-50 combination. Tried that?

You can open most gun"safes" with an axe. The sides, back, and top are sheet metal; only the door and frame has any resistance to theft. Open the back, you can always have sheet metal welded over it and repaint it.

Personally, I wouldn't get involved. If you must, please heed the advice given above.

Which "real" safes are you talking about? I bought a real Liberty and it came from the factory with a specific combo, and real Brownings are the same. Further, you are advised that your warranty on the lock will be voided if you attempt to change the combo without using a locksmith.

Sergeant & Greenleaf high security safe locks should come 50-25-50. Brand-X can come with any combination -- I guess.

Browning and Liberty both use S&G combo locks. They may come from S&G with that combo, but once they're installed in the safe they're set to something else before they leave the factory.
