should we even be talking about this here? I've been here for a while, and the only talk of safes that I'll partake in on the open forums is off forum, as I don't feel comfortable putting anything about it out there for everyone to see.

In the past, there's been a distinction made between discussing the construction of high-security locks and discussing techniques for opening high-security locks.

Changing the combination on an already-unlocked safe is analogous to rekeying a pin-tumbler lock: it's not info that's going to help anyone open the lock, so I'd (personally) view it as appropriate for the non-advanced forums. (Just my $0.02...)

The Keedex K-18 is an absolute necessity if you intend to change safe combinations.

So is either a good paper notebook complete with notes and manufacturer information on combo changes or a laptop to look things up. Mechanical changes are often simple enough with the wheel pack cover removed, you can tell what you need to do. Electronic changes can be a bit tricky as each manufacturer has a different process. I'd try to print off instructions from each of the bigger manufacturers and keep them on hand until it becomes second nature for you.

I prefer just to have a few individual keys of various types. I've never run across one I can't change with the @ 8 keys I have.
