I am a licensed locksmith and I encounter these often. Many times the customer forgot the combination. Now instead of having to destroy the box to get the key I can use this trick. I actually had a few laying around in my shop with no known combo and I was able to open them using this trick. Worked perfectly. Thank you!
Have the exact lock in video. I could not feel jackall pushing the buttons. I read the comments and saw people posting using wd40 on the buttons and they started feeling the push back from the buttons. I can confirm 100% success after working break free oil through the buttons. I let it sit for a few days button side up and was able to get the code. To be clear, I 100% could not feel anything until using the oil.
The words you used to explain the pressure feedback on the opener slide solved this for me!!! All of the buttons were "tight" but not all of them would push back on the slider when tight.!! Thank you!
My family forgot the code for our kiddle safe 11 years ago they would pay whoever mangaged to open it 50$. I thank you very much for making this video, it was a great help😊
Watched couple other similar videos trying to recover a forgotten code on a keysafe. Didn't work. Your explanation was the most clear on how to do this. Thank you.
Thank you! My parents locked up bot our barn and shed with these they used the same combo but now I can grab bikes&stuff without the hassle of waiting for them to get home first!
Beautiful mate second try and 15 seconds later I’m in....you are the only video that’s worked for me 🙌🏻. Make sure you press the buttons really firmly with a pen etc you will feel the toggle move 100%
Thank you very much. Getting a new fridge and we have to take the door off (condo) to get it through the door and the last owner had one of these on the jam. Got it off thanks to you.
Have a supra key safe on wall outside. I bought my house back in 2011 and every time I cut the front lawn I looked at the darn thing and 10 years on I was sick of not knowing the code. Watched your video and set to it. At first o was wondering if I was pushing a little to hard as they were all sort of popping in to a certain degree but the one and zero felt different so kept them numbers to hand. Then I thought about the really old people I bought the house off and it belonged to there parent so they must have been ancient haha. After all them thoughts and a little practice I cracked it. 1902 and it had a front door let inside that fitted. Thanks for the tutorial mate. Ten years in and in ten mins it was defeated haha
Thank-you. I have had one of these boxes on my house since I bought it 2 years ago. Now hopefully I can open it and remove it instead of damaging the wall to get it off.
doesn't work on mine, 6 keys can feel upward. 1 min later, I really got what you said about negative resistance. the first number I got is "4", I felt and try to learn from the feeling from pressing "4" too many times then I got the feeling. the rest is easy. "1400", voila~ you are the man!!!!!!
I like your video the only problem is that you didn’t tell me how to set the new combo, but that is what I need to do. My lock is brand new but no instructions how to set the combo. This is the closest I got to get any answers. Thank you in advance.
You are the MVP of the freaking last 2 years. Oh my God I can't thank you enough I have not been able to get my lock unlock for the past 3 years and every time I tried with other videos it didn't work thank you again thank you thank you thank you so much 😊
@@1SpudNuts1BigNasty-DIY I was not saying anything negative about you or your video. Sorry if i gave that impression. I just seem to always fall through the cracks. If is a great video and you did a great job explaining. As a matter of fact I bookmarked it to try again this weekend when i have more time.
After 4 hours and watching every other YT video I finally got it after your video within 2 minutes. Thanks! I have ....or I HAD five of these to crack open. Thanks!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I bought one of these in January 2021 and cannot find where I put the unlock code. But thanks to you, I just opened it! You saved me a very unnecessary expense of having to go out and buy it all over again. Thank you sir! And by the way, my paper instructions that came with the product says to program with 5 to 8 digits. But when I set mine up, I only did it with four, and I found them out thanks to you!
On any of these types of locks that have been in service, being exposed to the elements, I've found that working in a little WD40 helps. It really helps free things up and give you the feel you need to decode.
Spraying with WD40 solved it for me! I was struggling to feel anything on the buttons, but after doused it in lubricant and waited a few minutes, I was quickly able to feel the combo
I’ve followed the instructions carefully and it doesn’t work for me. I feel zero difference when I press on the correct combo buttons. I believe it works for that model but possibly not every Kidde lockbox. Mine is white, not gray, in case that matters, so it could be particular to a certain model. I’m still going to look for a more secure box though because sooner or later there will be a video on how to unlock the one I have.
Mine is also white. It took me maybe 3-4 minutes. I could figure out 3 of 4 numbers using this method and then I just tried out the remaining 7 numbers.
@@michael931 yeah, I just found 3 and tried the others. Thankfully you can’t use each number more than once. The right amount of tension on the slide lever helps to feel the slide move when pressing the buttons
Came across one where 0 was part of the combo; tried it again and now the 0 doesn't depress at ALL. Very frustrating piece of equipment... wondering if there's ice in the mechanism (gonna warm it up on a paper towel and check for stains).
Good stuff man. After a lot of tries I got it lol. It took me a little to understand what you were trying to say about the negative resistance, but once I figured that out I got the numbers, tried a diff couple combinations and got it opened 🙏
Hi BN-DIY, Thanks for your informative video. I have the same lockbox mounted on a wall in a house for which I am caretaker. The owners didn't even know it was there, so don't know the combination. I tried your process to figure out the combination. I found that pressing each of the number buttons caused pressure/resistance on the latch button. Am I pressing the buttons too hard? I did try "all buttons" as the combination and it did not open. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you
When I have the Open slide button pushed down, no matter how hard I push the number buttons with a pen, I can't get them to press down. I sprayed with a lubricant spray. Any other suggestions?
a hell of a lot more difficult w/ box mounted, and apparently defective. The "DHS Method" however worked... (drill, hammer, screwdriver)... f* it. was able to get key out.
Looks a great solution but mine doesn't behave! I don't think my OPEN button slides down as much as yours so all the number buttons are totally resistant to any pressure. Any further ideas please?
Greetings, I have one with a broken / missing clear button. Can you recommend where I can get a replacement? Thank You for your time....Great video as well. Very informative.
Really frustrated, cannot figure it out. Mine is in a really awkward place and that makes it even harder. So the order doesn't matter, which are the correct buttons? The ones that don't press all the way down, the ones that resist a bit but will go down all the way or the ones that go down without any effort?
Can it be 5 digits? Been on my moms house for 15 years and can’t get it off. She thought it was something but no combo of those work and now I read it doesn’t need to be in order, so I’m more confused.
We got ours from a realtor prolly 15 years ago and ended up not selling the house. To clarify, it’s my moms/childhood home, and she just left it on there the last 14 years because….. well… you do the math, but im trying to do stuff she never gets around to and been at this for a bit. I felt 6 of them go all the way down so I marked them off and been trying combos of the 4 I think it is but no luck. Any tips? Im gonna try the WD40 tip from someone else as well.
Cool, thanks. This was exactly the box I wanted to learn. A convenient store in the skyway has one. I'm not gonna hack it because I don't steal but wanted to know if I could, lol. Sure love to take all their smokes, haha.
@@1SpudNuts1BigNasty-DIY I did mine using his method. No joy at first then I realized it was so old it needed a shot of WD 40 and then it worked perfectly. Took 10 minutes so be patient.
Just when I thought it was useless to try any more because I wasn't feeling the negative push, I decided to just spray some WD-40 even though this was never outside in the elements. and a mniute later, kaboom. I knew the code I used was a birthday date, and as soon as I put in after the WD-40 spray, it propped open. Phew...
