| I bought a 5' double door safe out of a retired jewelry store and the guy who loaded it lost the combination, well he locked it inside of the safe. I need a reputable person or co. to open it. any help is appreciated. i am in the Lawton area. |
You might check with this guy , I hear he is a avid hobbyist box jockey...
Most smiths should be able to open it, if you don't want to reuse it you should be able to to torch it open yourself. If you want to re use it then most smiths should be able to take care of the problem. I am assuming it is empty and you want to re use it. so destructive methods are out. |

I hope you got it really cheap, it can cost THOUSANDS of $ to open a safe and then repair it to a usable state again. An empty safe with no combination is essentially scrap metal. We had a good size safe in our family business, burglars broke in the business, complete idiots, tore up the coke machine without getting into it, of course if they had there wouldn't have been more than a couple of bucks in it, it was a 5 cent coke machine. Then they went to the safe and knocked the dial off, which of course engages the relockers so they can't get into it. This was in about 1960 and it cost several hundred $ to open the safe and repair it...in 1960! Not that much money in it, $25 in petty cash, but the business records inside were worth thousands.

Two points:
Quoted: If the manufacturer knows the year it was made and serial number, they will have a list of combinations they used. If you can get that list then you can use the process of elimination. The list is probably a few hundred or less. |

The list is probably a few hundred or less. Locksmiths have ways of finding SNs and combinations even with manufacturers not available. Granted, that may not be true for all safes, but the older it is, the more likely the combinations for those safes are available. |
