1. Things to Do Before Calling a Safe Locksmith
Opening a safe by yourself may not be as hard as you think.
Picking a safe can either be easy or difficult, depending on the
sophistication of the safe design. Routine office or money drop
safes, which are commonly used in homes or businesses, are
some of the easiest to operate. Banks and other secure locations
that store a lot of valuables may opt to use elaborate vaults. You
may have seen skilled thieves break into vaults at will in movies.
Though master picking skills are hugely popular in all sorts of
entertainment media, most people have no desire to be a master
criminal. If you are or were stuck in a locked-safe dilemma,
understanding how to open a safe is a basic skill that you should
have. This may save you a lot of hard earned cash from not
calling for a safe locksmith.
Clear the Dial
Opening any safe always starts by clearing the dial. Since you’ll
never know who may have been turning the dial before you
arrived, the safe may mistakenly think it is already in the middle of
the wrong combination. In order for you to clear the dial, do at
least one or two complete revolutions to the right. Turning the dial
a couple of times to the right will tell the safe you are starting a
new combination.
In case you have a digital combination safe, simply press the
‘clear’ button to clear the combinations. Since almost all digital
safes will make a beeping sound once a button is pressed as a
confirmation, you’ll easily know when to begin entering a new
combination.

2. Enter the Combination
When opening a safe, it is very important to enter the correct
combination the very first time. As you clear the dial, stop on the
first number in your combination. The scale by the number on the
dial should be precisely lined up with the notch on the safe. Turn
the dial to the left and stop when you reach the second number in
your combination. Continue doing so until you’ve reached the last
number of your combination. Note that some safes may require
the user to skip the code number a certain number of times before
stopping on it.
If you pass your number or carelessly use the wrong number, you
will need to start the process from the start, beginning with
clearing the dial.
If you have a digital electronic safe, you will simply type your
combination on the buttons. The safe will beep each time a button
is pressed to confirm the input has been received. After
successfully entered the combination, the safe will make an
alternate beeping sound to let you know that the lock is open.
Green lights may also be present on some safes.
Open the Latch
Unless you’ve failed to enter the combination correctly, the only
thing left to do is call a safe locksmith. Some small safes can just
be opened by any qualified locksmith. Hendon locksmith, for
instance, have small safes that may simply have a handle to open
like a regular door that can be manipulated by a locksmith.

3. Uxbridge locksmith may also have safes that use a lever to pull
the door open.
