What's this electronic device? It won't open using the combination I was given.

Dial the combination given, going LRL then turn the dial R to 0. Hold the black knob and turn the silver S&G marked inner dial clockwise. Now turn the black dial R again to open the lock.

Did you test the combination given before closing the door?

And also, did you hear glass break inside the door when you dropped it?

Wow! like magic it opened. I was about to bury it and take a loss. I will donate to this fine site. Thank you kind sir..... Any idea about the electric device that fell out of the bottom leg?



Gratz on getting it open. My guess would be some kind of alarm or locator beacon. I assume it was hidden under the safe and only appeared when it was dropped?

Please do NOT edit your posts to delete the content. It makes no sense and for me that's always the point where I stop helping said person.

Yup by severely editing his first post deleting the picture of the safe he needed help with that he dropped 3 feet now is no help to anyone. Not only did he edit the first post but all of them and deleted completely the last one thanking everyone for the help and how he had just contributed to this forum with Paypal what was the point in that.

The Cleaners came to retrieve their device, and all evidence.
