So many dramatic suggestions and…

Might squirt some 3in1 into the lock tonight

I found a small locked safe in my house when i moved in. Also found a bucket if maybe 200 assorted keys. None fitted. Shaking the safe there was definitely something in there. I watched endless youtube videos and page after page of lock picking advice. Then i drilled a hole and used a saw. The contents? Manual and spare key. Doh!

* Drill hole in top.
* Fill with water.
* Weld hole closed.
* Put in freezer (or outside).
* Wait.

Ooh I once started a thread on this:

Agreed if it is the right key, loads of penetration fluid, mole grips on key and wiggle while hitting the outside with a hammer to loosen the mechanism. Just keep repeating this, dont be to hasty and forceful. Same with the handle. If you can get the safe on its back to let the fluid seep in more all the better, also try and get the fluid around all the door where it meets the cabinet so it will help free the door leaf and dog bolts.

Looking forward to you finding f00k all inside it/or a massive pot of gold.

I guess that as we don’t know what’s in there, technically there is both a massive pot of gold and nothing whatsoever in there…

It’s Schrodinger’s safe.

My money is on there being a can of plusgas in there. And the door handle.

Cold chisel and lump hammer…

Or if you’re in a hurry, a room-temp chisel will do..

I don’t know why but I nearly wet myself chuckling at that ;o)

I hope there’s not a dead cat in there.

Challenger 2 tank?

It worked for brainiac

I think it’s important to check for booby traps – hurts when they get trapped.

hehehe

I love the amateur safe breaker comments.
Makes me laugh. 🙄

Nothing to add but can’t wait to find out what is in the safe.

Drink heavily until you come up with a great idea, normally works for me..

I see no-one with the username of “Gentle Johnny” or “Ronnie Biggs”.

Nuke it from orbit

it’s the only way to be sure

I don’t know how to get in that, but I wouldn’t go cutting / drilling unless I was sure that there wasn’t something nasty like asbestos built into it

North Korea are due another test, call Kim and ask him if he needs a bomb support?

Thermal Lance !!
It will destroy everything inside , but at least you can say you got it open !

Pretty much how I feel about most bike repair comments on here 😉

But it won´t count, cheating is bad.

I would go knack earring it too much as once the deadlocks are in your never going to get it open, once watched a guy open our safe at work without a key with a drill located in a place only known by locksmiths ( google it) then he was able to open the mechanism from there and fill the hole with metal filler 😯 I then put a sticker over it 🙂

Also it might have a glass relocker too, if that’s the case and you drill and smash it the deadbolts are going to make it even more unpenetrable

My money is on the handle/ key jiggle as the one at work has to have the handle in the correct position for the key to work

Should do the job.

Locksmith?

If you’re going to use explosives, a shaped cutting charge will work best.

Angle grinder? Nope. It would take for ever and cost you a fortune in cutting discs, diamond tipped stone saw would be better. Still going to be expensive but you’ll have it open in no time.

Find an irresistible force and an immovable object then put the safe between them.

Call out the fire brigade and tell them there is a kitten or child locked in it. They will soon open it up.

no we wont

no we wont

okay, how about a case of beer then?

could you open it if there was really a child in there?

If there is a child in there, its either long dead, or we know the key works.

Between the inner and outer, shells of a safe the vois is usually filled with insulation, steel and cast iron bars and anything else thy have handy to stop drilling and penetration by an angle grinder, as peeps have said previously, there will be dead bolts that wind out with the handle, along with a key operated lock.So cutting off the hinge knucles will have little effect.

You could try a safe engineer but not many of them around and they do charge quite a bit,as the safes they open have lots of cash inside.

Looking at the age of the safe did they have portable angle grinders back when it was made… ????

I can’t believe no one has mentioned schroedinger yet!!!

it’s a cat I tells ya!

We could play deal or no deal, assuming you eventually manage to get it open.
Ring Ring! RM offers you £3.50 for the contents – deal or no deal?
RM.

it could be a smaller safe inside (locked of course)

Lightsaber?
