I found a locked safe hidden at the back of a closet in my new house

I moved a safe about that size on Sunday, helping a friend. It took me about 5 minutes.

Just sayinā€™.

Maybe you can hold it up to the light to see whatā€™s inside?

I need a new audio recorder, but when Iā€™ve got it Iā€™m going to do an ultra quiet video of me turning the circly locky thingy on the safe, with some ASMR commentary on the clicks you can hear.

Out of curiosity, how many minutes (or hours?) have you invested so far in knob-twiddling that thing in front of the TV? Or are you waiting for the tools/time/circumstances to be perfectly methodical about it?

Me, Iā€™d have dragged it into the loo so I can spin the knob while on the crapper.

If the Deus Ex games have taught me anything itā€™s that if you write that sort of thing down anywhere some vent dwelling knob in a trench coat is going to find it.

In total Iā€™ve tried a few hundred combinations. Practically, it takes 30s to a minute to go through one because youā€™re going left and right several times on each one, taking care to nail the number each way. So a few hours dedicated to just sitting there spinning the dial.

Thereā€™s a certain frustration in that I donā€™t really know if itā€™s left right left right or right left right left or whatever, or even if itā€™s 4 numbers (as most Yale lock stuff attests) or 5ā€¦

I was going to drill the shit out of it but itā€™s so pretty and all that asbestos talk NOPED me pretty strong on that idea.

Plan at this point: offer up some nice video (with the promised audio) here in hopes that someone will AHAH! THIS IS A CERTAIN LOCK, DO IT THIS WAY type advice.

Then look into the robot cracking tool, which is a few hundred $$$ and can be sold on.

Then a locksmith, which will almost certainly be a colossal waste of money!

Excellent! Definitely the kind of tool (like engine hoists, ball-joint separators, steering wheel pullers, and a lot of baby clothes) that should be available to loan, in a perfect world.

Iā€™ll kick in $5 for the pay-per-view Opening Night special.

That safe I mentioned.

This is clearly one of those cases where one like is not enough. Awesome idea! :smile:

Although, realistically, just having that same machine brute force it (try every combo, not the other type of brute force) would probably be in the range of 10 to 1000 times faster.

Iā€™m with Rob, I would totally clean that thing up and use it as an end table. If @Mister44 dropped in for a visit and wanted to get hammered, we could put his hogleg in it!
