I bet you can't even get a wooden 1 3/4" door out of its opening
by removing the hinge pins unless you hurt the door or the jamb,
unless it was hung very sloppily..

I just took possession of a property and there is a safe in one

closets. The safe is about 36"x36"x24" deep. The previous

an elderly man and no longer remember the combinations. Me and
a
buddy tried to move it and it would not move an inch...we think
it is
at least 500 pounds in weight.

Is there a way to get it opened? If I call a locksmith and
they come
open it does it mean they will break it in order to get it open
or is
there a way to open it and reset the combinations so it may be
used?

Thanks,

Are the hinges exposed? Maybe they can be cut and replaced later
after
combination is reset..Having a safe can actually draw thieves to
Your
house if people see it and start flappin thier gums..Will a
heavy duty
handcart help with moving it?
