man uses this weird old trick, locksmiths hate him!

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!

This would fall under both bypass and automotive. OP is warned that further offenses may get him banned, as this is advanced material.

:P :mrgreen: :twisted:

I think what you are not understanding is that it would be a polish blackjack and hooker forum. The booze bottles would have holes in the bottom, the hookers wouldnt................

Shouldn't the metal walls of the safe insulate the key? I'm thinking about a Faraday cage.

Was thinking the same thing myself, as have used an aluminum soda can to keep my transmitter from being able to open the car door - and it worked. But just because it was on the Internet does not mean it was the real deal.

And guess I know how I rank, since I didn't even know Squelchtone's other forum existed, let alone became a member. :cry:

Maybe that safe is not made of steel... or at least not all the walls are made of steel.
Or maybe the whole story is just a joke.

If Squelchy really starts that forum, I'm in.

Cheers :)

Sentry's do have steel walls. Even though they're thin, they are still thicker than a pop can. Could the type of metal make that big of a difference?

That's the reason why I believe it's a joke. A portable safe, really? ;)
