Vintage tube floor safe

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!

Vintage tube floor safe

Postby fayt84 » 11 Mar 2018 10:51

I've been renting a home for 14 years and my landlord has passed away. There is a Sentry Tube Floor Safe in the basement and even the landlord said they never knew the combo to it. It looks quite vintage.
I've been trying the old Left 4, Right 3, Left 2, Right 1 trick with 50, 24, 65, open. The lock gets easy to turn after 24 and seems like they are opening, but after a dozen tries nothing. The landlords daughter doesn't know where the deed to the property is, so it could be in this safe.

Is there any way of bypassing the combination to it?

There is no crows foot on it, it's a tiny tiny little dot. No serial numbers, no model numbers, nothing.

At this time, you are not the owner of the property, and we have no way of verifying ownership anyway. Therefore we will not help you with opening the safe. We recommend you hire a safe technician.

Well it's for the landlord's daughters behalf. I am not entitled to the contents.

what old trick? why do you think 50-24-65 is the combination?

I also don't believe that particular safe lock is the normal L4 R3 L2 Right dialing order to open, I believe it's Left 3, Right 2, Left to drop in.

Also, there isn't an "old trick" or "fast bypass" we could teach you. The whole point of safes is that it is a safe meant to protect property.

there's a good reddit thread you can read through: read Update 4.

yeah I guess if you post the same question on multiple forums you end up getting an answer.

Because after the first post, I noticed the forum had low activity, so I was expecting a couple of days for a reply.
