Safes use a combination lock or lock mechanism that requires a key to open. To open a combination lock a knob or dial has to be turned at least 4 times to the left and stopped on a specific first number; 3 times to the right and then stopped on a specific second number; 2 times back to the left and stopped at a specific third number; then turned slowly back to the right until it stops to engage the lock. As long as you know the lock combination opening the safe is not a difficult task. In fact, it is very easy. That’s why they are so popular. However, if you forget the combination or if the lock breaks, then you may not be able to open the safe.
Should this occur, owners of safes have been known to use a number of alternatives to force the safe open including prying the door and a bolt out of the doorframe or cutting it with a torch or saw. Both of these methods are not advised because they are time-consuming and will damage the safe. If you should find yourself in this situation, the best thing you can do is contact Mobile Locksmith so we can dispatch one of our locksmiths to your location. Our locksmiths are skilled in using a number of methods that can open the safe quickly without damaging it.
