Can you relock a lockpicked safe without the key?

Hello, I'm not a everyday lockpicker. I recently successfully picked a lock for my cashbox that I lost the key for. I was wondering how I can relock it without the key? is this possible?

It's probably time to find a better place to keep your cash cause obviously what you're doing now isn't working, try underneath your mattress or even inside of it. And you still haven't figured out the answer, either through logic or the comments above, yes you probably can.... :mrgreen:

At least you have to respect the attempt. Instead of saying he/she is locked out he/she is saying they need to relock something. At least it's more original than most i've read on this site.

Still, people really do seem to view this community as a bunch of idiots. I'd be offended but well, i am an idiot :)
