No keys. need ideas to open
an organization that I'm involved with bought this cash box many years ago. the best intentions (removing the keys for safe keeping), didn't lead to good results after a few years of moving offices etc.
The end result is a new lock box, with no keys. While I can call Sentry Safe to get a replacement set, the cost is prohibitive ($15 for key, $50 for notarized letter of ownership). it's not worth the cost to get replacement keys..
soo... that leaves it as a challenge for me
Model: SentrySafe UC-039K
after looking at a manufactures image
I have a few ideas.
1) Pick it (outside my current ability I think based on the 2 locks.. correct me is I'm wrong)
2) attack the hinge.. (drill, punch, or cut pin at joins)
3) impact attack (hammer strike to see if angled bolt will retract far enough to release the door. not for damage effect)
4) Drill from rear (and "shim" lock open from behind)
5) use mounting holes on the bottom
6) Use a similar attempts for vehicles.. bent U shaped coat hanger that can be inserted, turned and inserted between bolt and catch.
Any other suggestions??
Once I get it open, I can make a set of keys for it.. I just need to get it open.
