Sorry farts, most people are uncomfortable discussing safe bypass techinques on an open forum.

I however, am not.

To crack safes, this is what you must do:
Step 1) Rotate the dial at least four complete turns one direction
Step 2) Slowly turn the dial the other direction, feeling and listening for clicks. Write down these clicks as you notice them. There should be 3 or 4, depending on the brand.
Step 3) Add 20 to the first number (or subtract 20 if the number is greater than 79)
Step 4) Subtract 2 from the second number (or add 2 if the number is less than 2)
Step 5) Leave the last number(s) the same. Now dial the combo as you have it now.

If that does work, you will have to re-arange the numbers, IE:
Say your combo is 1-2-3-4
Try:
1-2-4-3
1-4-2-3
1-4-3-2
etc.

After trying all those, add 1 to the first number and try again. If that doesn't work, add 1 to the second number. If that doesn't work, multiply the second and third numbers together to give you a new second number. Now convert the third number into a fraction, and multiply its' recipricol by 1/2. Now multiply that number by pi, and you have the third number. Best of luck.

I've used this technique to crack several group 2 level safes, however it did take about 45 minutes of intense concentration. Oddly enough, this technique also works with ultra-secure elctronic safes - it is estimated that systematically dialing one of these open will take in excess of 16 years, however, using this technique it takes maybe an hour, hour and a half if you've never done it before. UL seriously needs to get on the ball with the security ratings system, to be sure.

I feel the need to share this now, because I will be patenting the process later this year....... Here it is......drumroll...........

"10 Step Method for Opening Safes"
1. Find an opening in the wall of sufficient size for the safe. (hopefully at least 3 stories high)
2. Get a large appliance dolly under the safe.
3. Wheel the safe to the opening.
4. Push the safe through the opening in the wall.(trade name for these openings are windows)
5. Consider going to hospital for the hernia I just received.
6. Run downstairs to see what happened to the safe.
7. Jump up and down screaming because nothing happened to the safe, just the car it landed on.
8. Call a locksmith.
9. Go back upstairs and watch "Colockwork Orange" while waiting on the smith to arrive.
10. Jump up and down screaming when you find out there is nothing in the safe.
Hope this helps
Chuck

Although you were no doubt joking hook, you forgot to include the most important part of this process.

Repeat.

You can't crack a safe by throwing it out the window just ONCE! You have to do it again and again! God! Idiot! :D
