How do I open a portable home safe without the combination?<\/h3>\n

There are many example of the technique to do this on YouTube but here are my thoughts and WHY this is possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A neighbour lost his key to his Yale Safe recently luckily it was not bolted down as he used it for medications (not money). I simply bounced it on his bed and turned the lever at the same time and voila it opened (to his amazement!). I reset the code to something easy for him to remember and no problems ever since.<\/p>\n

Yesterday a friend visited and handed me a safe, she knows I enjoy locksport (lockpicking as a hobby). Again locked with no keys but this time gave it to me to play with. I did the old bounce trick and again after a few attempts it worked.<\/p>\n

But this time I will replace this cam lock<\/a> (the emergency manual lock if the batteries fail) with one from Amazon for \u00a37 bucks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well it is worth more than \u00a38 when restored with a new lock with 2 keys. Why would I bother you might ask? Well as mentioned before for medications (carers, parents who do not want their children being able to access powerful meds) it remains a good investment. If bolted down out of the way its still find for petty cash and jewelry and far safer (no pun intended) than a purse in a handbag hanging on a door in your home!!! Or your gold chain on a china hand on your dressing table! Just do not put the crown jewels in these! If you want to put money in them buy a fireproof wallet. Whilst they do not work with direct flames (as tests show n YT) they are heat resistant.<\/p>\n

So remember to do it on a mattress as you get more inertia below is why this happens.<\/p>\n

OK here is the release switch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Below is the panel removed I reset the code to 1111 (for now).<\/p>\n

Here we see the soft spring loaded release mechanism.<\/p>\n

OK there are many examples of this technique but I will give<\/p>\n

When you bounce the safe the weight of that metal plate pushes down on the spring with inertia\/gravity if you time twisting the opening leaver at the same time as the spring bottoms out you will open the safe! If you know anybody who has a safe like this and it is not bolted down although a rubber mallet on the top can have a similar effect. It is a shocking party trick to show just how vulnerable their belongings and valuables are!<\/p>\n

Have fun and happy days (and stay legal). Remember this technique is for use with your own or safe where you have permission to do this.<\/p>\n
