    Cannot find my combination to my dial locked safe. Will call manufacturer tomorrow, but in case they cannot find the code I need to find a reputable lock smith in the Houma/Thibodeaux area. Have some expensive gear in there that I need out ASAP.

    My first question is, why would you not have written it down and not saved it somewhere? Secound question is, do you need to borrow a torch to get to your prized possessions? :(

    Looks to me like he did write it down, just cant find it. Maybe he put it somewhere he knew it'd be safe, maybe in the safe! lol

    Look up safe cracking a dial combination lock on YouTube. Seriously. Had an old Sentry fire safe that the combo was lost too. It's not hard.

    Try Randy Beniot locksmith in Thibodaux. He is also LE and can be trusted. If he can not he can point you in the right direction.

    I had it written down and placed in a drawer in a dresser by the safe, but my grandmother cleaned it out, so now I can't find it.

    If it has never been changed the manufacturer might have it. If not see if you can follow me someone with a safe dailing machine me to open it. It won't open like a sentry safe bc sentry only has a few combos it can be.

    What safe is it?

    It's amazing at the useless information that the human brain retains, yet important things are easily forgotten. someone I trust has an envelope with some important information of mine, in case of events like this, and I have the same info of theirs.

    If it's that easy to open, why have one.

    If it's your typical Cannon/Liberty/Big Box store safe a thief can get into it much quicker than cracking the dial with a good pry bar, especially if they can get it on its back. Safes are not going to keep a determined thief out, unless you're willing to get a true safe like in a jewelry store. But, why spend $30,000+ on a safe to protect $10,000 of guns.

    Thank you to everyone in the threads but I have found the code! Happy late Christmas present to me, need to be more careful as to where I place it. But again, thank you to anyone that put up some information to me, I planned on using it in case I couldn't find the combination.
