When it comes to buying safes, we ask ourselves: What should we do to open a safe? In the event that we ask ourselves this question, we must look at several elements: the type of safe, the materials they are made of, their resistance to attacks… Even so, one of the questions that we must pay most attention to is the type of lock they are made of.
Methods of opening a safe deposit box
If we are not able to open a safe, we should bear in mind that the company where we bought the safe will probably have a service for opening our safe
How to open a safe without a key?
Sometimes the keys we need to open a safe are lost or broken. In these situations, we have tools called lock picks at our disposal. This type of tool is frequently used by criminals to open locking mechanisms and carry out robberies. They work very simply, all we have to do is turn the socket until the lock is opened. It is important to note that this method will not work on more sophisticated locks.
Another method of opening is to cut the hinges with a radial saw. This way is more aggressive, as the safe will suffer more damage. The same applies if we drill the lock with a drill.
If the safe is an armoured safe, these methods of opening will not be effective, as these types of safes have a higher level of security. The help of a professional technician is usually necessary for this type of safe
How to open electronic safes that are locked?
A frequently asked question for people who have a safe with an electronic lock is; what happens if the electronic safe runs out of battery?
With this type of safes we must take into account that this type of safes have two types of locks:
Key and key safe opening
This type of lock is one of the most commonly used, as it is necessary to insert the key and the code. Many of these models have external chargers to recharge the batteries when they are exhausted. If the key is forgotten, it will be necessary to use a specialised technical service to open the safe.
Opening a safe deposit box without knowing the combination
If we have a combination safe and we have lost or do not know the password, it will be impossible to open the safe. In this case it will be necessary to contact the technical service, which will have the necessary tools to open the safe without breaking it.
One of the recommendations we make to all our customers so that they do not reach the point where we have to send a technician to open the safe is:
What combination should I put in my safe?
- Password length:
A strong password should be long enough to make it difficult to crack. It is recommended that the password be 6 digits long.
- Avoid personal information:
Avoid using personal information in your password, such as birth dates or phone numbers. Criminals can easily obtain this information and use it to guess your password.
- Avoid obvious patterns:
Don’t use obvious patterns in your password, such as “123456”. These patterns are easy to guess and are among the most common passwords people use.
- Avoid sharing passwords:
Never share your passwords with anyone, even if you trust that person. The more people who know your password, the greater the risk of it falling into the wrong hands.
- Keep your passwords secure:
Store your passwords in a secure location and avoid writing them down on paper or on devices that are not adequately protected. Consider using an additional safe or a secure physical location to store your safe access information.
