Has anyone here heard of the Vibration method of opening a safe. Putting a vibrating sander on the dial and waiting for the light part of the wheels with the notches in them to come to the top.
Is this even worth trying? Has anyone tried this and if so did it work?
Thanks

I heard somewhere or read somewhere once that there was a mysterious case of a safe mounted in a train car that would often be found unlocked with no explanation as to who dialed the combination and just left it there like that. Someone figured out that all the riding around on the rails and the constant vibration worked it's way up to the safe and due to the imbalance in weight the wheels eventually turned so the gate was facing 12 oclock and the more meaty part of the wheels facing down. At this point the fence could just drop in and the door be opened without dialing anything. *I'm hoping someone chimes in with any corrections to this story as I'm sure my memory is a little fuzzy.
I saw some photos once of an industrial vibrator, the kind used to remove air bubbles from concrete, being pressed against a safe door. With your safe and lock, if this would work, you'd have to elevate the left side of your safe onto a piece of plywood or something high enough like a 2x4 to make your drop in area be at 12 oclock. otherwise *if the hand sander even works, and I have my doubts* the wheels would align not over the correct drop in. This method was eventually countered by drilling holes in wheels and making them balanced. I'm not sure if your wheels are like that or if the holes in them are just for changing the combination.
