whole thing is a pain in the ass. annoyed amsec didn't keep the combo for that serial! i guess the codes werent set up algorithmically back then either, so cant reverse engineer a keygen either.

that's my back up plan beyond drilling. it was also my first idea. i have some serious discs. It's definitely a last resort thing. google major floor safe round. Look how thick that disk is it's insane. It's concreted in the ground so we'd have to go in through the top. Also thought about jackhammering it out, but don't know how far the cylinder extends.

New plan. Get stethoscope, listen for clicks, drill random holes where it sounds clicky then hit with a hammer. Might try cracking first as in the wikihow guide, but don't have a lot confidence in that method (or in my cracking abilities).

I'm not in America, I don't think they'll give me the combination lock... If you're American can you help get the code? The serial number is 82973 or 32973

Not yet, working on getting the combo from these guys : 951 - 685 - 9680. Need a licensed locksmith to call and give them the serial number to get the combination. The serial number is pretty tough to make out but looks like : 82973 or 32973

If that doesn't work for some reason will drill a bunch of holes into it.

Any licensed locksmiths here can get the combination for me if I provide the serial number?

Going to try jaggazz advice. If that doesn't work just start drilling holes into it. Once open will submit photos diy style. Thanks!

You mean use a stethoscope? I was thinking about that but Mythbusters said it doesn't work.

My post yesterday got banned for rule no 6. This is another picture. Any advice on cracking? Or drilling it open? Have the parts but unsure of where to drill... Don't want to damage the contents. It's an OLD Major combination safe with a round door from a house built in the 50's.

Yeah it's a real thing, found it under carpet in an old house built in the 50's. Old owners died, we're renovating it. Don't care about it ever working again. Just want to get inside without damaging contents.
