How to troubleshoot a mechanical safe lock when you’re locked out and can’t get the lock to open with the combination. Where is my battery on my electronic lock?
What to do if you’re locked out if your safe?
What’s the opening sequence for a dial or mechanical gun safe or safe lock?
Knowing how something works makes a world of difference when you have a problem. Excellent video.
I can't thank you enough. Followed your instructions, and the door opened. You are the best.
Thank you for the video. The jiggling method worked on the first try on my old Major mechanical dial safe. Now that I got it open, I will definitely get it serviced... Great instructions!
I'm stunned! I was getting ready to call a locksmith in the morning because I couldn't open my 35-year old combination safe despite repeatedly trying every 30 minutes or so for many days. I saw your video and tried tapping the face around the dial with a hammer. On the third try, it opened! Thank you so very much! It seems so simple, yet it's genius!
Cool! Glad it worked!
I appreciate you posting this video. I couldn't get into my safe and the +/- 2 trick worked. Thank you.
Still loving my UT 55 I got from you by the way . Great info thanks Aaron..
Thank you for the instruction. I bought a used gun safe and got it home. It was delivered to me open and when I locked it the first time it would not open. I thought the combination they gave me must have been wrong. I tried your "tap with a non-marring mallet" technique when I got to the last number and tapped above the dial while turning to the unlatching position and this worked. I guess the mechanism may need some lubrication or something. Thank you for the help. This worked for me.
My Cannon safe would not open, i tried all methods you showed until the last one, the plastic hammer and a small block of wood, first the top , then to the right, not hard but a firm solid hit, and it moved and opened. Sir, i owe you. Great video.
Cool. Google reviews are a great way to say thanks!😉
My safe has given me trouble for 25 years. Turns out one of the number positions was off by one digit on the dial. Thanks for helping me understand the combination lock operation a little better. My safe opens easily now.
Exact same thing for me. Written combo on the instructions always made it a crap shoot of getting it open. Second number was off by 1. Just opened it 3 times in a row flawlessly thanks to this video.
false gate huh
Another good thing to try is to continuously pull the dial towards you as you enter your combinations. There is an internal part that contacts the wheels that turn inside the lock and sometimes it stops contacting especially if your dial moves in and out alot. Mine worked fine as long as i pulled on the dial a little bit until i could get a locksmith to come out. AMSEC covered everything ❤
That's exactly right. Good point!
Really really i aprecieat you are profetional because every thing that you show us all perfect. Thanks
Thanks! I got locked out and used the banging technique with a little force on the lever. Voila and open sesame. Technician is coming today to replace the 20 year old S&G6120 with a commercial LaGard.
Oops. The Fort Knox door was manufactured/installed before ADA rules so the LaGard won’t work. Hopefully S&G has something that works!
Saved my butt, Thank you Bud!
Hey, that’s good to hear! Glad to help. We thrive on Google reviews by the way, hint, hint!
Thank You so much! I got my safe open, S &G safe 4 digit. But my combo starts counter clockwise.
That American Security BFX with the white door and grey body is a beauty!
It is but darn it, they don’t use that textured color anymore.
@@parkerssafes No worries! You have a bunch of great colors and models. Love the AMSEC & Graffunder safes you carry. I watch every video you post.
This worked for me - jiggling the tumbler. I recently added a door hanger that can hold pistol and ammo in my liberty. I forced it closed. Not much pressure but enough to let me know it wasnt going smoothly. Well this video help me get it open. Took the door storage off and i think we are good to go. Thank you,
Glad it worked out for you. It’s a little disconcerting to be locked out.
Kids be playing with the 'fidget spinner' thats on the safe
lol
I was locked out from my American Eagle Cannon gun safe. Used a rubber mallet, after several tries it opened. Still won't work, but at least a technician can get to the lock now.
Oh my gosh!! Thank you soooo much for your help! I was locked out of my safe for 6 months😂.
On the first AmSec safe you showed, what do you do if the unlock handle just spins around freely? It looks like the handle has a good snug fit on the center spindle, but it just rotates 360 degree in both directions.
I saw that too, I think Kat is speaking the truth
Thank you got into my 30 year old cannon dial safe I want to replace the dial can you help in what I need
I have the AmSec ESL10. It’s giving me fits to open now. What trick can I use to even get it open the first place to change the battery? Will the mallet trick work on the electric locks? Thanks in advance!!
That is actually true
Lost Key to Tumbler on AMSEC safe it's locked into position, Door is open. How do I change out lock body and Dial.
that turn back, after the last #, may need to go further, until a click, always move the handle and wait for the big click. then its open.
It's usually a dead stop where it won't turn anymore.
Should I just buy a safe that works?
It’s still a free country. Have at it.
Can change the combo on these mechanical locks?
yes
What is the best safe I could buy under $10,000 for my guns and important items?
how big?
@@parkerssafes any size, just 1 single safe that can not be beaten
@@moderngrub1876
Well to be fair they can all be beaten. Some are just a lot harder than others. I would probably have a look at the RF series by American security.
@@parkerssafes can 1" steel be beaten? if yes, then how?
@@youtubegarbage4u We can't stop them. We can only slow them down. Steel can be cut.
My dial isn't locking after the last number. What can I do?
Nothing. It shouldn't lock after the last number.
My son locked the dial with a ghost key. We don't have original key and never have used the key lock for 30 yrs. Only use the combination lock. Spinner is locked on 0.
Any advise much appreciated.

That’s a super easy lock to pick even for someone that’s never tried lock picking. I would watch a couple videos and grab a bobby pin.
Can you recommend a video? We have attempted with the ghost key that my son locked it with, no luck yet.
Also tried other keys as well. I have always used the combination lock...never used the key spinner lock. Spinner dial is locked on 0.
This safe was purchased new around 1995 ....American Security Gun Safe. Thanks 👍
Been trying with gym clips..Rake method...no luck....any suggestions?? Thx
@@stevenandrews4398
Make sure that you have a tension tool holding just a little bit of pressure in the direction you would turn the key and then try to just set the pins.
We are talking about a mechanical lock with the little round key insert correct?
If you get familiar with basic lock picking, I think it should open right up for you. I’m not a very good lockpicker but I can open those up in about five seconds
Make sure you don’t have glass plate.
Rapping on the door shouldn’t affect the tempered glass.
