Best non-destructive opening method?

My company bought a store that has this in the office. The previous owner took the combo to the grave and employees told me someone accidentally locked the key inside the safe.

Located in Southwestern Ohio and willing to spend several hours learning how to open it, despite knowing that it’s empty.

Found this in the basement of our house

Found this safe in the house we just moved into. It’s built into the foundation wall in the basement. Is there a (simple-ish) way to get it open? House was built in 1939.

Removing Cannon Dual Access/EMP Lock

Newbie - Anyone have any experience removing this lock in particular? Removed the inner panel and took off the locking mechanism inside - and then I thought the dial would just pop up, but I have pushed, pulled, twisted, yanked and tapped it in every direction and cannot get it to move one way or the other… Am I missing something? Or does it slide up and I’m just not using enough force?

As an aside, bought used and am switching the lock out with an S&G because, while the keypad works, I cannot get the combination to work. So any ideas on that would also be awesome too

Thanks!

Help Open Old Safe!

Very old safe, but I have correct combination. However, I still can't seem to get the safe open! ​

I am not exactly sure If I should begin on the 20, the 100 or on the blank space?

Mystery safe from previous owners

My sister and I bought a house and this safe was left behind. Searching the serial number on the door (EX2007076633) produced no results. Wondering what model safe it is and/or how to relock it so that it can be used again. There's also a USB port on the underside of the digital keypad for some reason. The keys do not turn in the lock.

How much would you pay for this safe?

Thinking about buying this, is $800 too much? If I found the correct one online I think brand new is around $1,900.

Redfield safe won’t open

I have had this safe for 3+ years and it has worked fine. Yesterday I tried to open it and it would not open. The key will turn and I can hear the mechanism moving but it still will not open. I was quoted 175 for someone to open it and the safe is only worth 100. Any suggestions on how to open it?
