Thank you so much!!! there was like 110 euros in there and i moved to another house and lost the key. Now i got my money back without having to destroy the box!

Great, thanks for the feedback.

I was just able to unlock my old childhood birthday money box thanks to you. Thank you for creating this video!

[@juliusiha4409]

Excellent tips....Open my cash box today after I had lost my key to my cash cash box few days ago. Just brilliant. You're a life saver.Thanks to you for the video.👏👏

[@LockNoob]

Fun video. The irony being that these cash boxes are usually stored in draws with equally bad wafer locks and often store a few paper clips as well, lol :-)

[@Potti314]

Haha, the tools to pick the locks are stored next to the lock - you're right. Just like the key underneath the mat in front of the door.

[@icebear8698]

you saved me! since the pandemic started, i couldn't go to school to get my keys and i really needed to open the safe. took me some time to open it but it worked! i've been jumping around and showing my mom that i opened it thanks:)

Yaaay! Paperclips save the day, in true MacGyver style. Thanks for sharing Potti and have a great weekend mate.

[@Potti314]

Cheers and thanks for stopping by.

[@LockpickingsGal]

Great job picking!! Even with paper clips!! Happy pickings!!

[@Potti314]

Thanks, I was surprised how crappy this lock is and that it actually works so easy.

[@bouncycowgirl]

I used this trick for an entirely different box. But thank you for explaining so clearly how lockpicking works. I was stumped as to how I was supposed to use a paper clip to do it.

[@jefferywilliams5878]

Thanks for showing this technic to Howard Thompson. After watching this video he broke into my office and opened my moneybox. He'd been working for me for 5 years and I never had any issues with him. Unfortunately for him I was at home watching him on my laptop on my new surveillance system I just installed the day of this crime. Anyway after opening the box he read the latter I put inside it. The letter read this . if you're reading this letter then you broke in my box. I just installed my video surveillance today and I'll be watching the tape tomorrow morning. I put the cash box on the floor under my desk. Howard was my cleaning guy so while vacuuming he stumbled across the box. I didn't do anything due to his years of loyalty to me and my family. He washed my car's every weekend and would help me around the house anytime regardless. Anyway he hadn't never been in trouble with the law so we talked and he explained he really didn't need the money he was just nosey and wanted to look inside the box. I figured that I probably set him up by putting this box where he cleaned every night. He's actually using my boat this weekend to go fishing with his family. Putting myself in his place I really don't know what I would have done. Just keeping it real folks. After all if you were in a store and went into the bathroom and found the stores cash box accidentally left behind in the stall. See what I mean. Most people want to feel good about themselves but the man in the mirror would probably understand. I myself actually found a woman's purse. She was on vacation coming to the Eastern Shore of Virginia from New Jersey. Anyway my cousin that was with me when I found it told me to look inside it. I did and in 1973 people on vacation normally had lots of cash. And she did. I forgot how much it was but I definitely remember several one hundred dollar bills and lots of other cash including a envelop with a 20 dollar bill and a birthday card. I was definitely thinking that I was going to have some fun although I remember not feeling good about not turning it in. My cousin had no shame in his game he wanted to split the money immediately. Fortunately I allowed my Pop Pop to see the purse. We were actually getting ready to go to Sunday School as we did every Sunday with my Mom Mom and Pop Pop. The person that accidentally drop her purse outside the car while visiting my Pop Pop's neighbor was extremely happy. My Pop Pop contacted her immediately after getting the contact information from her sister which was my Pop Pop's neighbor and friend. I'm glad my Pop Pop was near. My cousin was ready to spend some cash.

[@Potti314]

How do you know that he watched my video? Also, did he also you paper clips? I dislike that you prepared a trap for him and posting his "real" name. Would you consider yourself as serious, honest and friendly person?

[@jefferywilliams5878]

@@Potti314 As I said he's a very good friend of mine. And that's not his real name. And he told me that he watched your video afterwards. Thanks for sharing your caring response towards my post about my friend. As I said in my post after thinking about what I did I felt like I actually tempted my friend into being nosey. I would never post my friends name especially after I showed him my post.

[@anthonybutt398]

Thank you! This saved me since I lock my meds away in a lockbox along with cash etc, but I'll rather get a coded safe considering how easy these are to pick! 10/10 video, will try to get mine open ASAP as soon as I can get some paper clips

[@benjaminallen6469]

Not trying to scare you but lockboxes with combinations are easy to pick as well, at least for cheap lockboxes. There is often a gap between the locking mechanism as well as clicks and a bit of tension release when you pass the correct number. I unlocked it on my first try as a complete amateur. I opted for a key lockbox because it is more difficult, especially if the lock is better made than this one.

[@noakeswalker]

You could probably use one paper clip only, with the wire doubled back to make a very wide rake - but a rake which can turn the plug at the same time. I had a desk drawer lock with no key back in the 80s, and for many years my 'key' was a paper clip bent into a wide rake. - you are right about the security value of that safe :o)

[@Potti314]

Cheers buddy - I thought the same for the box: Keeping it for sweets or so and open the lock with paper clips every time. Just for fun :-) And yes, I think that you can build a "tryout key" from a paperclip - will try this on another occasion.

[@emilytaylor4192]

Thanks! My husband took my keys by accident and I need to get into my cash box and this worked very easily! I didn’t have paper clips so I used safety pins! Thanks!

paper clips, that was sooooooooo amusing, awesome video. maybe tommorow i'll use paperclips on a few easy locks for testing

Good demonstration. Hopefully it will teach a few people why they shouldn’t count on those locks to keep their cash secure.

[@Potti314]

Yeah, that's really necessary - educate the people what they can expect from such a box - actually pretty sad considering the physical security with the thick walls.

[@katrinkristjansdottir9363]

i have the exact same box, smaller size, but i have tried and tried and it wont work! i do exactly like in the video but it just wont open ☹️ do you have any tips to try??

[@AstroZombie1]

I just opened mine, it has a similar lock as this one. Except I had to use the metal from a binder clip and syringe bc that’s all I have 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 the key is getting the bottom tensioner in far enough so you can feel resistance when you turn it clockwise, that way when you put the other pin into the top of the lock, push it in and out (trying to aim slightly upward) a few times, the bottom tensioner should now want to turn open.

Quick tip for anyone trying to open a similar box but maybe struggling if the lock is slightly different just take a hammer and hit it a couple of times, they aren’t nearly as strong as they look and you can easily get in by breaking it

That's brutal.

[@manduhm5112]

After you pick the lock, can you Re-Lock it without the key too?

I think it was key-retaining - so no need to pick it closed (if I remember correctly).

[@Potti314]

A big flat-headed screwdriver will do for sure ;-)

[@HingerlAlois]

Well you might want to check if your cash box has a wafer lock or a pin tumbler lock. If it’s a wafer lock you could for example try to open it with some cheap jiggler keys that require basically no skills. If it’s a pin tumbler it might be a lil bit complicated, as you would probably need some decent rakes or a pick like a half diamond and a tension tool that fits, thus you would have to spend some bucks. It might also require some skills to open it. Of course if you lost the keys anyway you might just go ahead and destroy it.

If youve dinenit a time or two you can use a small set of craft scisors to rake and tension at the same time if your realy god you can get it in one swipe.... another option if damage isnt an issue tape the tensioner as tight as you can and drop it flat in wichever directions the wafers go the inertia will set them and the box will pop open
