Thank you for taking the time to post this video. It was a HUGE help for safe that I purchased that came with a code but no instructions on the number of turns and direction to turn the dial.
Thankyou so much for explaining the whole process I got it on the first try after listening to your video extremely helpful and informative Thankyou again so much 😊
We found a vintage Protectall lock box with a Yale combination lock. No numbers available but the serial number plate is intact! Were these made by Mosler and how could I possible find the numbers? It was in the attic of a rehab/flip house and is empty unless cash money in it LOL. No rattles save for the safety chain! I see this was posted years ago. Thanks!
Thanks for checking out our video! You will need to contact a local locksmith to have that safe opened. On a safe that old, it's usually impossible to get a combination from the serial number.
Hello how does one go about getting the combination code. NB: On the key there is a four digit number. Secondly the combination dial as a key hole. What's the use of the key and how is it operated? Thanks in advance.
Hi Eric, thank you for your interest in our video. If the keyhole is in the final itself, it is called a day lock. After dialing in the combination, you can turn the dial to 0 and lock it there with the key. This is for the convenience of not having to dial the entire combination every time. If you do not know the combination, sometimes you can obtain it from the safe manufacturer. If that is not possible, you will probably require the service of a local locksmith.
Hi Mike, thanks for checking out our video. Yes, once you have unlocked the combination lock, you can turn the bolt control handle to open and close the door as many times as you want until you rotate the dial and extend the locking bolt on the combination lock again. Thanks for the question!
Friend of mine give me a stack on gun safe for free because he lost his combination passcode! What I need to do to open the safe? Is this video work for that kind of problem?
Hi Alexander, thanks for checking out our videos! Unfortunately Stack On usually uses a very cheap imitation safe lock, not at all like the one demonstrated in this video. In all likelihood, it has what is often called a "straight tailpiece" lock on it. It uses a completely different sequence and number of rotations to open it. I would suggest you contact Stack On through the internet to see if you can get a combination from them, or contact a local locksmith who can open it and retrieve the combination for you. I am in Arkansas and will be happy to help if you happen to be in that region! Have a good week!
Hi James, thanks for taking a look at our video! Absolutely do not put graphite in a safe lock. There are no parts in a safe lock that graphite can help, it will only create problems.
Hi Wang, Thanks for taking a look at our channel! If You have lost the combination, sometimes you can request the factory combination from the manufacturer through their website. Sometimes you have to have a locksmith come open it. I would look up the manufacturer of my safe online first to see if they have a way to request a lost combination. If that's not available, contact a reputable local safe technician. Good luck!
I have a 1920's safe and it went through a fire the dial sticks inside a little as if the internals melted together a little bit not allowing the insides to spin 100%. It spins but has a tight spot by the 3rd or fourth number. I can tell it's sticking inside. What can I do?
Hi Arzaniel, thanks for checking out our video! With the problems you describe I would recommend you get a local safe technician involved. This safe will probably have to be penetrated to determine the problem and open it. Good luck!
That could be a problem Thot Slayer69! In order for these instructions to be of any value, you need to know the combination. If you do not know the combination, you will need to contact a local safe technician/locksmith to open the container in all likelihood. Good luck! And thanks for the chuckle from the username 😆
Hi Becky, thanks for watching our video. A First Alert safe may not have this type of lock on it. Those cheaper safes often have a straight tailpiece locking mechanism, rather than a true safe lock as demonstrated here. The method for opening is different. It may help to look at our Sentry Safe lock operation video. Your lock is probably more like that. Good luck!
Hi Prakash, thanks for checking out our video. I'm not sure how much this particular lock costs. I usually sell Sargent & Greenleaf mechanical locks, which cost about $200. They vary a little bit depending upon the features they have.
@@Aplussafeandlock thanks for putting in time for replies. Please just let me know how does the dial tend to be felt when I land on last number of the combination? I assume it must be little jam as it engages the rod that keeps the door from opening. However, in my case it's remains smooth or indifferent.
Great question Harley, and you asked the right person! Here's the best way I know: 1) Get the combination from the person 2) Enter the combination 3) Open the door Good luck!
