Hi to everybody.
At last!!!!!
Safe opened!!!
It took me some time because i didn't have much time to work on the safe. However the result was rewarding.
Thanks eveyone for the help provided. All the posts on this forum gave me very useful guidance on the procedure.
While beeing a beginer it took me some time to understand some parts of the procedure and i had to go back and read again and again online documents and posts on this forum. Everytime i realized i went deeper in the whole theory of manipulation. But what gave me the hardest time was the method to attach a laser pointer to the key in order to get consistent data for the graphs. The only similar case i had found on internet was Altashot's example with the Crown direct entry safe. Generaly it was difficult to find many direct entry caseson the internet.
http://keypicking.com/viewtopic.php?f=9 ... =15#p76246 That's why i would like to share my experience on this forum. I think some people would like to read what method i used in order to open this safe.
First of all, form the early beginning wanted to change the Althshot's rod pointer with a laser pointer, cause i knew i could get better amplification of the depth using it. I could point it as far i wanted. But i needed to find a way to attach it to the key and then a way to apply the same power on every try.
My first idea was the following:
Soon i realized that this structure was not stable enough and i took different meaurements every time i turned it on the same number on the wheel pack. A slight
movement of the "handle" atached to the key had a big effect on the laser pointer. My graphs had to meaning at all.
So i started thinking of robust construction with decent weight in order to fall in the drive cam's gate and touch the wheels with the same power every time. I came up with the following:
This structure seemed more stable in the beginning, However i did the first graph several times and i realised that there was no constinensy in the measurements. There where many variations on the graphs. I though that the weight was the reason for that. So i attached a magnet on the tightener.
Bingo!!!
Even from the first graph i could tell measurements were correct. The graphs for the first wheel seemed quite accurate. I did it a second time it was almost identical (last two graphs on photo). I knew i was on the righ track.
I continued the procedure for the second and third wheel. To be honest i still was not sure if this would lead to a happy end.
I started taking measurements for the third wheel and at the time i reached 20 i let the structure fall and......BANG. It touch the ground!!!. I pulled the door and it just opened. WHAT A GREAT FEELING!!!!
I really enjoyed it as if it was a big achievement.
Thinging back of the whole precedure i would say that stable power during measurements is critical on direct entry safes.
Especially when these safes have keylocks and not handles. As soon as i solved this problem, next steps ended up to be straightforward.
Here you can see my working place.
Just to end this post, i would like to thank again all the members of this forum for their valuable posts and especially Altashot. His advice was critical.Thanks a lot.
Cheers!!!
