Found an old floor safe during remodel

[accidentallywinning]

Any ideas of how to open it without destroying it?

Need help figuring out how to get into this floor safe.

This original post appears to be the same type of safe, so I'm curious if OP was able to get into their safe? If so, how? And how much did you pay?

Does anyone have a photo of the entire safe and the lid? Any advice on how to get into it? I talked to a locksmith and he said he would charge between $500 and $1000 to use a grinder to cut through the lid. Are there any other options? Does it make sense to jackhammer the safe out of the floor before trying to get it open?

The safe is located in Denver, Colorado, so I'd also appreciate leads on other locksmiths. Not worried about destroying the safe, just need to confirm that it's empty before selling the property.

Have you contacted the manufacturer? Seems that would be a first step. They could recommend a local locksmith familiar with their product.

That company has been out of business for ages. Unless our new friend has a Delorean or a Bill & Ted's time traveling phone booth, there is no manufacturer to contact.

The only thing that comes close are the STAR safes from Amsec have removable dials, but their pins wont fit this pattern.

Only thing to do is to have this professionally drilled and scoped by a real safe technician (read: do not just call the first "locksmith" in the phone book or google results)

best of luck. savta.org has listings for professional safe techs in your area. here are some sample results for Denver:

I would find a good locksmith who would jury-rig a dial to fit and manipulate it. Of course that would cost you more, but the door would be unharmed. In any case, once you have it open, you'd still need to locate the proper dial if you want to use it in the future. That might prove difficult.

Thank you. I contacted Statewide and they are going to drill and scope the safe for me.

Only other H.P. I've seen is the 1 pictured in McOmie's Safe Opening Vol.2, page 86. It's a key-op tri-bolt with a Schlage cylinder
