Faulty Safe - Can It Be cracked?

I picked up a safe that’s completely non-functional due to dead batteries. But that’s not going to stop me! Join me as I try to crack it open and discover what it takes to get inside. Will it be a simple fix, or is there more to this challenge than meets the eye?

I clicked on this video then realised I had no audio. Went to get my headphones and noticed the video was

[@Pik_lok]

Lol, cheers Dave. I do wish they'd put up more of a fight. I was genuinely shocked when it opened up instantly.👍

[@lockpickingvlad]

I was hoping for something in that safe 😊

[@Pik_lok]

So was I. It rattled when you shook it, but was just a few bolts 🙄

[@izabelahowitt9827]

great, well done 👏

[@Pik_lok]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@spontaneousdisintegration]

Looks like the comment I left for this video went to next as well. Whoops. - The Safecracking/breaching looks like a very enjoyable addition to Locksport Enthusiast milieu. - very different set of parameters to address.

[@Pik_lok]

These cheap ones are pretty simple to get into. As for an opportunist burglar, I doubt they'd carry the tools to open one. I'd be interested in doing more in-depth stuff further down the line. Deviant Ollam seems quite good to follow for safe cracking, he's got a few good videos on it.

@Pik_lok Most criminals aren't quite sophisticated enough to pull of Hollywood style safecracking, it's predominantly crime fiction. As an element of this sport it may be enjoyable at a later date, I find quite literally everything fascinating & strange. Being 57 & having lived an extraordinary & eventful life. I can utilize my recreational time better than I formerly could. - I appreciate the conversation & Locksport Enthusiast fellowship. - cheers Pik-Lok!

[@Pik_lok]

@spontaneousdisintegration I kind of regret taking so long to get into locksport. It's really satisfying, and there are so many different areas to explore! One I keep meaning to get into is lever locks, and making some tools to open them. I'm pleased you really enjoy it too 👍 It's always entertaining, and the community is also great! #Locksport #Hobbies #Satisfaction

[@spontaneousdisintegration]

@Pik_lok 100% my Locksport Enthusiast compeer!

[@PDLocksport]

Cool. The supasafe that's not so super.

[@Pik_lok]

Not very super at all... Unless your battery has gone flat and you've lost the key.

[@gkeyman565]

Any thin piece of metal that fits in the key hole will probably get it open with enough jiggling up and down, or try the bang on top/flip handle method, or drop the knob end 5 or 6 inches and flip the handle or just add light tension to the handle while thumping or dropping. the handle probably turns clockwise. if it had power you could also hit the reset button from the mounting holes or the gap by the hinge side. have a great day

[@Pik_lok]

Cheers, I tried the old smash it on the top afterwards, but to no avail, unfortunately 😕

[@randyfish3763]

What happends next? Will you get a key cut or is there a way of replacing the batteries and resetting the code - I have the same safe with dead batteries but a different key - it's one of those circle pin tumbler lock type ones.

[@Pik_lok]

The batteries have been replaced, and the safe now works. (I probably should have included this in the video). Although I don't really need a key, I have thought about replacing the lock so that it is fully functional. Maybe this could be a follow-up video. Is yours a tubular lock? On the inside on the door on mine, there was a panel that unscrewed. The batteries were in there.

[@randyfish3763]

@@Pik_lok Yes, that could be an interesting follow up. Yes, mine is a tubular lock hidden under the same plastic cover and apart from that the safe door looks identical to yours inside and out.

[@Pik_lok]

@randyfish3763 Thanks for the idea, I appreciate it. I'll look at getting a video together showing how to replace the lock and batteries. Hope you're having a good weekend! 👍

[@spontaneousdisintegration]

Hey! Looks like 4 spools & a sort of serrated? I shall rewind & hit pause - - I really enjoy spool pins now, to such a degree almost don't bother with std pins ..almost ...but all locks are greatly enjoyable! - cheers Greyhound Oopsie ! Also Cheers Pik-Lok !

[@Pik_lok]

@spontaneousdisintegration I believe this comment has landed on the wrong video, but I'm the same. I much prefer picking spools, you get loads more feedback with them compared to standards 👍

[@spontaneousdisintegration]

@Pik_lok lol, (watching the watch later list) & played next before finished commenting -Thx for the heads up. It took a couple days to figure them out (much growling/ but excellent challenge) now I find that they are great fun! Cheers pik-lok

[@Pik_lok]

I'm glad you're progressing. Well done! I tend to find the plastic little masterlock 410s are great for practising spool pins. What are you picking at the moment?

[@spontaneousdisintegration]

@Pik_lokpast couple weeks I practice Masterlock 532 & ACE44mm laminated daily(plus some std pins) just opened ABUS 74/40 LOTO yesterday, working on AL1100 (& parsing out the serrated pins) - just received Packlock90A PRO that I have yet to try, been 'training' for the Blue Whale & have white-green under 3minutes consistently...but need to integrate the dreaded 90A PRO (I joke , love this pastime!& goingtotry it outtomorrow)

[@Pik_lok]

That all sounds brilliant 👏 I'd really like a 90A pro, although they're extremely difficult to get in the UK without paying daft amounts in shipping. I sometimes think it would be cheaper to fly to the US, buy a load, fly back, and sell them at a slight profit to cover the cost of the flight lol.

[@robdegoyim4023]

Wouldn’t trust that safe with my packed lunch

[@Pik_lok]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TwoSixHeave]

I have an old battery safe in my shed. Where do I get those “jiggly keys” from? I might have a go at it before I throw it out.

[@Pik_lok]

You can buy them from any locksmith supplies, plus Amazon, Ali express or Wish. You'll need the smallest ones.

[@TwoSixHeave]

@@Pik_lok Thank you, I have just ordered from Amazon. I was searching for jiggly not jiggler. 😅

[@LloydHowitt]

​@@TwoSixHeave I think I might start calling them jiggly keys now, it sounds better. Good luck using them 👍

[@TwoSixHeave]

It worked! thanks to your video I actually managed to open it with the jigglers. Thanks very much.

[@Pik_lok]

@@TwoSixHeave That's brilliant! Really you managed to do it, and thanks for letting me know. Are you thinking of a switch in career to safe cracking now? 👏🙂👍

[@mcdpoor]

Interesting

[@Pik_lok]

Cheers McD

[@SeeStuDo]

Hand sledge and a screwdriver can open it!!

[@Pik_lok]

Was going for a less destructive approach, but that could be worth a video 🤣👍

[@SeeStuDo]

@@Pik_lok That's the way I had to get into one for a call 🤣🤣🤣 It was fun, but a 1 time thing.

[@Pik_lok]

@SeeStuDo I bet it was fun 😊 I reckon a firearm would be the most fun way to open lol

[@SeeStuDo]

@@Pik_lok Oh, I wanna do that now 🤣

[@Pik_lok]

Well I live in the UK, so it's not happening here, so it's over to you 🤣

[@jacobelliott8610]

Does this method only work if the battery has indeed died?

[@Pik_lok]

No, they often have a rubbish lock hidden behind a badge or a bit of plastic, and it's always functional.

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Such an amazing video. Not.

No problem. I hope the video is better than the graphic then lol. Apologies for the sarcastic response 👍
