For some reason I can’t get in my safe. I know my combination. It’s a Field & Stream dial type. It won’t unlock. Any ideas? Any good locksmiths around Lexington?
Try using the combination one digit less, then one digit higher, see if that works.
Does the dial feel any different then last time, I had a key sheer off in my S&G lock when I was a bank teller years ago.
Jeppo’s not senile.I would hate to have that happen... just thinking about it is scary!
I need to make sure my family have the combination, just in case I get senile like @Jeppo.
Yes, this can be it.Might also try holding the door in a bit as you dial in case something inside has shifted and is putting pressure on the bolt mechanism.
spin it fast a couple times right and left and stop on zero. then start your combination

Hey wait a minute! I thought these type of safes didn't fail? This is the second one I know if that has been a problem.
Went to a party a a guys house and the safe was in the garage. Damn nicest garage I ever saw. He had his combination on a piece of paper on the front of the safe. When I asked him if that didn't kinda defeat the purpose of the safe he said "No, it's a game. Anyone who can open the safe gets $20." Everyone tried and one guy finally got it to open. Come to find out the dude couldn't get it to open himself so this was a last ditch effort before the locksmith.
So there ya go Huckleberry. Have a party. Invite us all over and whoever can open the safe get $50. Yeah I know it was $20 in my story but it was a while ago.
How 'bout, whomever opens it can select one item from within?
Negative on the safe combinationVery ingneious method, 12151791!
BTW, is that your combination?
Looks like the date the BOR was ratified...
Haha. You paying?
Hey it's your safe. I ain't got nothing in it.
Maybe that’s why it broke. Someone wanted me to keep a glock for them while they went on vacation . I hope it didn’t rub off on my Springfields.Mechanical lock failure, that’s as rare as a Glock failure according to internet lore.
Threaten it with a BOS.....
You still not over that?
It doesn’tIf the dial lock has a keyed cylinder, try locking the dial and unlocking it a few times.
That's probably what caused it to lock up tight in the first place.Threaten it with a BOS.....
