Ha!... Thanks Selim. And very nice to see ya.

But it's true isn't it?! I'm sure you sometimes feel the
same thing when talking with some of your customers.

Re: A little book I wrote

Thanks Daggers, I actually bought your book from Amazon a while ago.
It didn't work on my lock, (it was friction one) but moved me forward big time.
Other members of the forum were help as well. and of course thanks for
updating the book info. Great job :-)

Hey! Sorry I wasn't able to be of more assistance with your lock but I'm glad that you were able to learn what you needed to. The community here is pretty great!

Daggers
I bought your book around a year ago but I didn’t give it a good enough go. Now I have a little more time I have picked it back up again. I now have my first number in the wheelpack which is #9. Now to high and low testing to determine which wheel it is. This is were I am going to get lost

I've been going through your pdf, and the part about wheel isolation to avoid the high/low tests was awesome. :hbg:

Re: A little book I wrote

Thank you Kezo! Gotta give credit to all the amazing people here for that as well. I didn't come up with all of it on my own; Oldfast and some others I don't quite remember at the moment had some very valuable knowledge which they contributed.

Re: A little book I wrote

Thank you for your youtube videos and the book. I'm pretty sure this safe I just picked up has a lagard 3300 with a diebold knob, so it's a bit intimidating, but hey! I'm retired, so lots of time to learn a new skill. I am lucky enough to already have some S&G safes to reference which I know the combinations for.

This is what the dial looks like https://youtu.be/yAqfBi52T2s and it came from a bank remodel. They were throwing it away and the best they could do was haul it outside the building with a truck using chains. Local locksmiths quoted me 375.00 to destroy the lock by drilling and couldn't guarantee they'd get inside, so I'm sticking to non-destructive entry. Two stickers on the outside of the safe say National Safe Corporation and LeFUBURE with the S/n. At least 1000 lbs.

I'm still trying to get the old combo from the bank manager, but he hasn't returned my phone call yet. That would be the smartest way of opening atm.

Once again, your willingness to share info is very much appreciated.

Andy

Re: A little book I wrote

LockManipulator wrote:So, seeing that there were some rather large errors in my previous article on manipulation, I decided to fix it and put it together with my other article on how the locks work. All in an easy portable format! Websites can't really be printed or copied as easy so I made it into a pdf. This is a 25 page book that takes someone with no knowledge of safe locks, to being able to manipulate their first one! If you've read my articles on here, this is a bit redundant but I did fix a lot of mistakes! Let me know how it is :) I tried to make it understandable to the average joe but I feel I rushed the info past them too fast. I figured it's a book and as long as everything is there, they can re-read it and look it over as often as they like until they get it :lol:


Great work! thanks a lot for sharing it with us ;o))
