Key and Combination Safe LOCKED OUT :(

Postby fishingishealing » 5 Apr 2009 2:38

I have a combination safe that my mom used to use I filled it with birthday cards, and other personal things, and a laser pointer and some other cool stuff I would like to retrieve.

I have the key for it. It's a Sentry Safe. I accidentally bumped the dial from the number 45 and ever since then I can't open the thing!

Can someone please help me! I've tried everything. I'm about to take an axe to this stupid thing. Locksmith isn't an option I don't have the money I'm on disability.

I've tried shoving a screwdriving in one of the holes and trying to mess with the mechanism inside but the bolt remains steady. I've tried removing the dial, but that doens't work either. My next option is smashing this thing to pieces!

Thanks in advance, I appreciate it. And no i'm not a criminal! I can prove the safe is mine so don't flame me!

How very perceptive of you Slick Pick....

To the OP, NO discussion of opening any type of safe may take place in the open area of the site. Call a locksmith, it's how they earn a living.
