Very interesting. I worked for Diebold in the early 80's as an electronic tech working on ATMs and drive up banking equipment, but part of our training was lock picking and how to defeat certain mechanical dial locks, ie, teller drawers and such. The safes, from floor safes to bank vaults, on the other hand, if the customer was locked out, the method of opening the safe was a long and tedious process of drilling out an access hole to get at the locking mechanism. I remember a "lock-out" on a Diebold floor safe at a local A.B.C. store (manager was the only one to know the combination - dumb move - was shot and killed) that took about 3 hours to finally open. The time consuming part was drilling through about 4 layers of case-hardened steel and cement, and took out about half a dozen high dollar drill bits. I'm not sure what type of cement it was but it was harder on the bits than the steel. What are your thoughts on Diebold safes?

so what is the best safe

[@Ron_the_Skeptic]

That's a cool trick! Probably useful to know when the batteries die. The important information is that it is a fire safe -- it will protect the contents for some period of time if the room is on fire. People are creative and no safe will keep people out forever. The object is to keep people out long enough. That safe is fine if you want to protect your will, powers of attorney, deeds, computer backups, and other things that are a pain to replace and easily damaged by fire. Expensive jewels and loads of cash are better kept in a safe deposit box at the bank. By the way, at the hotel, someone on staff knows how to open the room safe.

If your safe has a S&G 6150 or similar, the lock itself is pretty much impermeable to magnets.

Its impossible to do that by accident, meaning they wanted to show me they could break into the safe anytime. But my maintenance people of the apt. were all our friends from south of the border, all of whom teach each other to pick locks by age 4 just for a hobby, so i took that into account. When you rent an apt, this always happened and no exceptions, be 100% certain that maint. people WILL enter your premises when you're gone, for no legitimate reason whatsoever just to poke around your shit, and some will even have the gall to leave "CLUES" just to show you they can come in anytime!

Great information! I have always preferred old fashioned, dial-type, combination or key operated safes. I DON'T KNOW how difficult it is to defeat them, BUT... I also favor, -A good alarm system.🔔 -Hidden security cameras.📷 -1 or more large, loud &/or psycho dogs.🐕 -Nosey neighbors. 👀 -"Practice of" & "devotion to" the 2ND Amendment to the US Constitution.😄😆

Wow great news as I was using dynamite to open these safes when I broke into rich homes and now I will just need to buy a rare earth magnet ! Thanks for the great information it is quite helpful !

[@artsnow8872]

Dynamite is too bulky to carry; instead, carry a small vial of nitro-glycerin. Don't "shake" it before use, though. It causes air bubbles to form.

😂😂

[@alicecuriosityoftenleadsto6288]

I have tried this with our home safe of the same model and a strong rare earth element magnet and it took me 3 tries with each time taking me almost an hour. A stronger magnet or prior experience would have helped, but its not really as easy as it looks

[@HermesDoo]

I have a similar sentry safe that I bought 10 years ago, recently battery died and after replacement, code won’t work anymore. That’s how I ended up here, but as you said, I tried his method but didn’t work, granted I stopped trying after a couple minutes. You said it took you an hour with each try, what did you to make it work?

[@puirYorick]

I thought I was the only one who knew about using the Fonzie method to open my Sentry fire safe. I'm glad that I never wasted my money to upgrade to the digital version. Luckily for me it's more for fire protection than actual theft deterrence.

[@garyshepard7881]

That’s funny, I have a sentry safe and a high-powered magnet like the one in the video. I was unable to open the safe using the method he showed. Apparently, they have changed the materials they use to make their safes now.

[@nicholasvo2000]

This video is more than 3 years now. So, you're not able to open the safe with a strong magnet, huh? Because I was gonna buy one exactly like this and was so disappointed that it can be opened so easily.

[@notyourbusiness5193]

Nope but their still easy to open and, if you buy one with a key you can open it with nail clippers.

To be fair its called a fire safe because it's function is to protect documents in a fire. If you want security buy a burglary rated safe.

[@lesterawilson3]

Quality has really gone down. Worked for Sentry briefly in the mid-90's in their sales dept. One day we brought up a safe from the manufacturing floor - similar to this one - but was bolted on both sides of the door and had a regular dial combination lock to it. Next to it - we brought in a similar competitor's safe. Laid it on it's back and with a couple whacks with a sledge hammer to the face of the competitor's safe - the door opened. Did the same to our Sentry safe and no matter how hard we tried beating the shit out of this poor safe with a 10 lb sledge hammer - we couldn't open it. In it's defense - this particular safe is really more of a convenience item to keep things from growing feet and walking away by less sophisticated thieves, but it's primary purpose is to provide protection of its contents from fires.

[@checkyoursix5623]

Thieves can just pick up the whole safe and carry it away ... and pound the snot out of it at their leisure ...

[@hotrodhog2170]

[@hotrodhog2170]

@B. Rippy It ain't going nowhere. I doubt any home burglars for a snatch and grab will be carrying a circular saw with them. Pry bar I'm sure they would have. It is in a corner of a closet so there is only two sides open to be able to cut and when they try to pry up the two sides they may have cut, the top of the safe will hit the wall and prevent any movement. I'm confident they won't get the safe. Thanks for the idea just the same.

+VampierMSX Lots of very good electronic safes made by S&G, LeGuard, SecurRam,

[@celiayounger9202]

+Mr. Locksmith THANK YOU.

[@boudreauxish]

Mr. Locksmith this only works on the electronic sentry safes or does it work on the non electronic ones too?

[@benargee]

The only vulnerability demonstrated here is the solenoid. It used magnetic force to actuate. There are many ways to electronically actuate that cannot be exploited with a magnet.

[@dewrus2153]

+Benargee-I think Mr. Lock's point was that millions of these Sentry safes are sold with the pretense that people are providing excellent security for their belongings when it is indeed not true. I think he is trying to let people know that if you're going to buy a safe, take the recommendation from someone like him instead of advertisement material from a safe company. I think he is also demonstrating the difference between a $250 safe and a $1000 safe...sometimes you get what you pay for. Also, he pointed out another critical flaw with this new "improved" safe in that it does not have a redundant interior hinge like the old version has. So, if you could pop the hinge pin out, you could open it that way, too. So he keyed in on two vulnerabilities in this video.

My cousin had an old safe from her grandfathers business. She had it in her house as a memento in her living room. Had a really nice old fashion paint job with the company name and other graphic's. Her house was broken into and they tried cutting the hinges and drilling it with tools from her garage. Totally ruined the safe. The bad part is she never locked it and nothing was kept in it. She figured no one would damage it if it was open and empty. They must have spun the tumbler before they tried the handle is all I can think of for why it was damaged. If you have one of these old iron safes put a note on it that it is open. Yes there are people that stupid in the world.

[@artsnow8872]

Be sure to put the combination numbers on the outside of the safe, AND on the note. Better yet, just leave the door blocked open.

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

Don’t just rely on the safe’s lock. You can add multiple barrier locks that prevent the door from opening whether it’s locked or not and a host of other puzzle-like peripheral barriers that will deter a thief of opportunity and at least buy you some time and slow down a really good thief. Apply the mindset of making it difficult for even YOU to open your safe when you need to. Make it an unattractive target. If it’s easy for you, it’s a piece of cake and a matter of seconds for a thief.

[@SwervingLemon]

One of my clients has a massive gun safe he uses for document storage. Inside that is a welded-in cabinet with a bowley lock cylinder. I wish I could see the look on a thief's face if they managed to get the main safe open only to discover the most unpickable lock with the most drill-resistant cylinder securing an armored steel cabinet.

I've never considered a fire safe to be "secure". I always thought of them as a place to keep documents etc from getting cooked if the house catches fire. They always look so cheaply made to me. This however is rather amusing, just goes to show, if someone wants in, you're only slowing them down. In this case by only a few seconds.

[@benetasuku6155]

He may have come in without a magnet.

[@alpheusmadsen8485]

I have a little safe that I'm pretty sure could be open with a hair pin easily enough with someone who has pick-locking experience; I keep my documents there for fire safety reasons too. Having said that, I'm not 100% sure it would survive a fire, though. I'm sure it will survive *some* fires, at least, so it's probably better than nothing, and it's easier to find our documents when we need them, too.

My neighborhood is plagued by thieves running around with neodymium magnets so I know this safe does nothing to stop them.
