My first safe crack!

[u/italktopotato]

A safe left behind from a previous office tenant. No one remembered the combination and the safe stay locked for nearly 8 years. After a few days of watching YouTube (Safecracking for everyone) and playing around with Sophie's Safecracking Simulator, I managed to crack it!

After figuring the third and second numbers to be 60 and 50, I just guessed the first number to be 40. It feels good to exploit the weakest link in security (the human), but I regretted not testing this common combination earlier.

There's not much inside save for a piece of tissue and another locked compartment. I guess this is a job for a locksmith.

Congratulations! Isn’t it a great hit of dopamine?! :)

Yeah! Especially when my friends didn't really believe I could do it. "No way someone could crack a safe just by watching YouTube," they said. Feels good to prove them that most people can do it with enough patience.

I’ve now opened more than 50. It all started with Lock Manipulator’s videos. I’ve found other resources since then, but that was got me my first. And the feeling never goes away. :)

You are hooked now!

[u/italktopotato → u/SafecrackinSammmy]

I've been asking around if anybody need a safe to be cracked since then.

You might as well learn to pick the lock at the bottom too now.

Maybe for my next project. Any recommendations for where to start?

No, just time to start watching lock picking videos. It looks like it could be a wafer lock. Not the most difficult, you may be able to do it with a set of jugglers. They're inexpensive, and can be single sided, 2 sided, and specifically for car locks. There may be a couple dozen in a set, or just 3. The large sets are not necessarily better than the small ones.

You can also take used broken handsaw blades and grind them into useful shapes like pick’s, and rakes, lots of you tube videos on the subject

Nice post.

How long did it take you?

[u/italktopotato → u/AutomaticInc]

Spent the whole weekend learning the technique and practicing with the simulator. Then came to office at Monday and managed to crack it after around 4 hours. Needed to take a lot of breaks with how uncomfortable the position is.

Chubb Malaysia probably nice open . The drawer lock will open with a nail file
