Centurion Deposit Corp Safe - Unknown Combo

This safe is not being used and hasn't been opened in probably about 6-7 years. I do not know the combo and was seeing if there is any way of finding it. I looked up "Centurion Deposit Corp" and they are American Express now? See images below:

Just to confirm that there is nothing inside, I have attached a picture. There is a small opening at the top that I put my phone through and took a photo.

Hello there!

Are there any mounting holes on the back wall of the safe opposite the door lock?

If there are or if you can drill one, go to Harbor Freight for a super long Phillips AND a slotted screw driver and remove the back plate and cover from the lock. drill a second hole for your cell phone camera or illuminate the inside using the drop slot and use your eye to look into the hole you drilled and turn the dial until the wheels line up or just unscrew the entire lock from the door.

When you remove the cover it may set off a relocker which is a spring loaded mechanism meant to slow down certain attacks but if this safe isnt bolted down and you can turn it around then you should be good.

Unfortunately, there is no quick trick to teach you to spin the dial and listen for clicks or any other movie nonsense, the method outlined above will be your fastest way. That or take it to a locksmith shop and pay them $50-$100 to do it for you.

keep us posted and thanks for the photos,

Thanks for replying,

Thank you for those tips. Is that key slot an alternative to using the dial? If so, is there any way to pick that?

Thanks

Edit: That key slot is not a part of the door. It is above it so I would assume it wouldn’t open the door. If not what is it for?
