We could not travel in the same conveyance, never stay at the same hotel, never dine together. We were to never be together except to open that safe. Required 3 or 4 of us to be present with our own special key. The most secure safes I use/used, did not have dials. I have reopend safes folks bought from folks I knew, using this, and being able to use the codes we used.old system, still secure. Grandpa ,like many older folks may have used this system, it was use to record bank accts, and before internet, one could send an acct number via mail or over phone, still noone listening on a party line or switchboard would know the subtraction number. We had a starting number, and each number thereafter was a subtraction of 13.
HOW TO BREAK INTO A BROWNING PROSTEEL SAFE CODE
One old boss liked to use 13 in a code of sorts we used. Some old safe guys used to re-set the combo to new owners request. This safe was 6' x 5'.older than me, older than my boss and heavy double doors.Īsk Grandpa a really simple question, did he ever use a favorite number? BTDT and babysat with the safe with loaded guns.door was at the safe guys shop getting a new S&G and other innards. I would find a quality safe guy anyway to check out any maintenence this safe may need from age, even if you do open it.Īnother "loudest click" one never wants to hear, is that of a pin in a S&G going click due to age and wear. If you can't get it open yourself, let me know and I will refer you to a tech in your area. This is normally not a do it yourself job. They are mechanical devices which wear and need lubrication. Safes should be serviced by a locksmith every couple of years. Even if you do get it open yourself, then you should still have a locksmith take a look at it. In either case, you will need a locksmith who specializes in safes. If that doesn't work, then either your combination is incorrect, or something is wrong with the lock. Even through normal wear, your numbers shouldn't be off more than 2 numbers in either direction. If that doesn't work, try adding and subtracting numbers.
One time right until dial engages lock and stops (somewhere 85-90ish) Two times left (counter clockwise) to third number Three times right (clockwise) to second number Thanks.įour times left (counter clockwise) to first number, stopping at the 4th appearance on the top reference mark.
HOW TO BREAK INTO A BROWNING PROSTEEL SAFE HOW TO
My Father-in-law is 87 years old, and not much assistance, as he can't remember how to open it (this is how I got involved in the first place), and it's really upsetting him about our inability to open the safe.Īny special tricks or ideas on an older Browning safe will be appreciated before we call the locksmith and destroy the lock. The combination he's written down is from back when it was new, so I'm pretty sure it should be accurate (also the combination for the other safe on the same piece of paper worked first try). I've tried the usual tricks, like cheating back a half digit to account for wear in the lock, and every other thing I or my wife can think of, but still no luck. I've tried using the same drill on the Browning, but am doing something wrong, because it doesn't open.
He has a newer safe with an S&G lock that works exactly like my safe at home, and I can get it open without problems. My Father-in-law has an older Browning safe (25 years old approximately) that I can't get open.
