Sorry, no one knows you so will not really help you open your 'safe' . I'm sure you understand we regally get kids in here wanting to open their mums / friends locks for a joke or to get something back so we are cautious. The locks are quite cheap, cut and replace them or read the site for other tips.

its not that we dont want to see you around. In fact we WANT you to stay. the problem is that the focus of this site is picking locks for the fun of picking locks, not picking locks to get into ANYTHING. even if it is something you own. the problem is that if you try picking a lock that is attached to something you risk never being able to open that lock again because of damage that you may unintentionally cause.

the point is, please stay and learn to pick with the rest of us. but please do not pick a lock that is in use, call a professional locksmith if you need to get into it.

so this isn't a safe.. its a construction workers JobBox or Knaack Box type container?

The locks in those are counter-sunk so they cannot be hit with a hammer or sawed off.

This photo is of the inside of the container:

hmmm, drill the padlocks, spend $10 and get 2 new ones. if you have a Job Box full of expensive tools, you can afford 2 new Master locks and 30 mintues of work.

Dude were not helpin without a pick, stop complaining and accept the rules.

If your no kid then you understand rule are rules, they keep everyone out of jail.

A. If you drill it out, how much loss would you suffer?

B. How much did you get for service call estimate?

Chose whichever cost you less money.

whatever dude, you need to chill out and realize everyone here wants to help you. But no one is going to help someone who doesn't help themselves. If you didn't have the keys for the locks, you would need to buy new ones anyway, so quit your crying and move on.

It would have been a whole lot more than $16 to call a locksmith, unlock it, impression it then a new key code cut anyways.
