And I'm just gonna be blunt here; this is NOT a good suggestion, nor is it ethical. (just one fellas opinion tho)

Where did you get this information from? Because from your post it seems that you have no idea what you are doing or what those wires do and don't do.

My coworker who specializes in safes told me he often does this.

As far as the wires go I know the four link to the solenoid from pausing videos from Mr Locksmith doing the magnet trick.

I don't have a REM magnet and don't have money to blow on one (and still make a return).

As for knowledge of solenoids themselves, I studied them in the Navy as an ET. It's an electromagnet and a spring. Two wires must supply the magnet and two must act as a switch.

Probably because in Finland no Sentry safes are sold.
