I Discovered a Floor Safe!

Hi, I was having some work done on my home and I discovered this Keep Safe floor safe under my carpet. I called Sentry Safe (makers of Keep Safe) and gave them the serial number and model (S2) but the 3-digit code they gave me doesn't work. I'm thinking the previous owners might have changed the code. What's the best way to crack the code without having to drill/saw it open?

Lock has two 2" wheels and a rear driver. Fence at 91. Removable dial. 2 door bolts.

Thanks. So I drill a hole between the center of the dial and 91? Then what?

I did not say that. Nowhere did I say to drill.

Dial the combination they gave you and the tap the head of the safe with a hammer. Not the dial, the head. Then turn to the right.

Sorry I saw your reply too late. I drilled a hole at 91 (wheel at 0), I aligned all 3 wheels so you could actually drop a pencil straight down into the safe but still won't open! I tried hammering the center of the dial and still no bueno. :(

This topic is for "non-destructive" entry only. Read the last sentence in your OP.

When you get the safe open we're curious what was inside, if you'd like to share.

Most likely it's filled with sailboat fuel.

Not quite.

(to the newcomers to this post, I'm sorry I had to delete the pics at least until I see a lawyer about ownership, tax, etc.)

I think this is here the first safe which contained something of value. You are very lucky!

Yeah! :smile:
Just think how happy the owner's will be when you contact them.
So how did you get it opened? Beat it, till it surrendered? Look in the hole and dial the combo?
Are you going to try to fix and re-use the safe or just cover it, fill it with concrete.?
It is good to see someone finally found goodies inside.
