Safe Manipulation may be discussed in This Old Safe now

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!
Forum rules
You are posting this in This Old Safe, a public area of the forum.

Safe manipulation discussion is allowed, but safe drilling or other destructive entry is only allowed in the Advanced - Safes and Safe Locks area.

If you are a guest of the forum and have a safe you need to open, but you do not have the combination, we cannot tell you how or where to drill it.

Safe Manipulation may be discussed in This Old Safe now

We have decided to allow the discussion of safe manipulation in the This Old Safe public area. It is a skill that takes time to learn and become proficient at, so there doesn't seem as much risk as showing someone where to drill and punch a safe.

If someone from the public visits and they have a safe with no combination, and there are no red flags being raised, and you feel like helping them get in but it may require aspects of manipulation, or full on teaching them manipulation, then go for it.

If you are a hobby picker / hobby safe cracker, you may post your photos, graphs, notes, and exchange information and tips with other like minded members.

Safe drilling, solenoid bouncing, bypass, and other shenanigans are still restricted to the Advanced Topics - Safes & Safe Locks area, so please limit the manipulation discussion to just manipulation, no drilling and scoping, peeling, punching, etc. *I honestly don't care what's available on youtube

If we see things getting out of hand, then offending posts will get edited, moved, or deleted.

Happy spinning.
