Many manufacturers can provide you with the combination for your safe if you lost the combination card and don’t know what it is. You will just have to provide documentation that you are the legal owner of the safe.
Always refer to the owner’s manual of your safe first to verify what the procedure is to enter the combo.
If you accidentally pass the 2nd number more than twice, start the process from the beginning again.
If you pass the 3rd number more than once by accident, enter the combo from the beginning.
If the safe does not unlock, you probably made a mistake in the combination or in the process of entering it on the dial. Double-check the numbers and try it again.
Safes generally have heavy doors, so make sure to open them slowly and stand away from them while you open the safe to avoid injury. Keep the handle turned all the way counterclockwise until you close the safe door again, or you may have to enter the combo again to close it.
If you lose the combination to your safe, then contact the manufacturer and see if they can provide you with the combo. Usually if you can prove that you are the legal owner of the safe and give them the serial number of your safe, then they can tell you the combo.
Always read the manufacturer’s instructions for your safe to verify the procedure needed to open it.
Rotate the dial slowly and be careful not to pass the number too many times or you will have to start over.
If you pass the number more than twice, then start the combination over from the beginning.
Be very careful on the last number of the combo not to pass it more than once!
If the door of the safe does not unlock, then enter the combo again from the beginning. Double check the numbers in the combination and be careful not to pass any of them too many times.
Don’t turn the handle back to the right until you are ready to lock the safe again or you might have to enter the combo over again.
Most electronic safes have a code between 4-10 digits long. Pause for 1 second between each number that you enter to allow the system time to process the code. If there is an “enter” key, press this when you are finished entering the code.
These types of safes make it very easy to reprogram the code if you need to, since everything is digital.
If you lose your keys, contact the manufacturer to see if replacement keys are available.
The most common reason you might need a locksmith is because you have forgotten or lost the combination to your safe. Occasionally safes can also jam or become damaged, in which case you will require the services of a locksmith to get them open and repair them. Ask the locksmith if you will need to provide documentation to prove that you are the owner of the safe before they will open it.
Many locksmiths offer 24-hour services, in case you need something out of your safe urgently.
If you called a locksmith because your safe is jammed or broken, make sure they perform any necessary repairs and that it is functioning before they leave.
