For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

Despite the fact that this post seems dubious (you lost both keys? Seems more like you know someone with a box like that who lives in a dorm and you want what's in it... :roll: ) I will give you a nudge in the correct direction.

Heres the nudge: Nudge

Go and ask the person who looks after such things on your campus, they arent yours they are the schools so they should have spare keys, if youve lst your keys they will need changing anyway.

If it is truly your own safe, and you really need to get inside it, I suggest drilling, the safe is cheap enough that you can remove the whole cylinder.
Buy some diamond drill bits or carbide. That should do the job.

well genius..think about this...if i knew someone in my dorm had a safe....wouldnt i just steal it and break it open rather than try to pick it? even if i picked it, and locked it once more, i think that person will find out just the same...fool.

oh sorry i didnt know "fool" was off limits. sorry but its just kind of irritating when youre simply trying to get help on how to retrieve your own property and instead, someone accuses you of stealing it?

Well you certainly haven't gotten anywhere with the suggestions we've already given you, and I can guarentee you that you will not get ANY farther with that tone...I guess we shall see how badly you actually want to get into "your" safe - god forbid we try to learn anything nor do any research...you're lucky we don't flame anymore.

Image How about I just make this simple.... safe opening techniques are not permitted for discussion in the public forums. Please refer to the site rules.

Cheers!
