Questioner said: Just bought my first house and found a hidden safe when I was ripping out the old carpet!
What do you think is inside of it?
Some of the answers were:
I know what’s inside. Disappointment.
Right, but if you expect disappointment, is it really disappointment when you open the safe and get disappointment?
I expect nothing and I am still disappointed
Odds are there’s some untouched dust from 1994.
You don’t necessarily have to drill it. I had a very similar safe (even the same manufacturer) under the carpet in a house I used to own. The locksmith used an auto-dialer on the safe. One of these… straight out of James Bond. Took two days.
If someone was kind they neutralized that safe before covering. Usually either 30 – 60 – 30 or just 30. It can actually be any number between 20 and 80 if they single dialed it but that’s the traditional way most safe guys do it. Go to YouTube and look up how to open a Sargent and Greenleaf safe dial lock and it will explain the sequence better than I can write it out.Also. Notice those big springs on the hinge side. This manufacturer was popular because the safe door was easy open. When that bolt is retracted that door will spring up so watch out.I was a locksmith for twenty years, I worked on quite a few of these. The first thing the guy who’s coming out is going to do is dial that safe to every multiple of 10 from 20 to 80 and then 30 -60 -30 before he gets out his drill and scope. Even if you tell him you tried it hes still going to do it because you might have done it wrong.
