Old CARY safe

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Old CARY safe

hi,

I have this safe that I’m trying to get into. It’s an old CARY safe, and from the research I’ve done it has a Yale Y-6 lock. I’ve tried several different combinations I’ve found on these forums, but none of them have worked. The images are linked below.

Thank you if you can help.

Think your best bet is to contact a safe technician. Not a locksmith, unless he is also a legitimate safe technician, too.

If you dont have a combo may be time to call in a pro on safes.

Here is a link with some more info from a most trusted site:

Thanks for the response!

I actually messaged him when I first found that exact thread. I figured if he helped with that safe, and because his account was active only a few days before, he might be able to help me. He was unable to help me for a couple days, and recommended I post here.
