Sorry if this sounds too implausible:

My office is closing and, as part of the stripping out of the kitchen,
a small safe has been consigned to the scrap skip. I have,
legitimately, obtained the safe. The reason that it has been dumped
is that it is locked and neither the key nor the combination are
available. This, probably, came about because the kitchen staff were
made redundant approx. one year ago when the kitchen was closed.

So, am I wasting my time looking for a means to open the safe. A
brief and rather fruitless Google suggests that I need both key and
combination to open the safe.

It's a perfect size for a domestic safe.

All interesting stuff posted by the others, but have you tried
contacting the makers with proof of ownership?

They may have records permitting them to make a new key, and a record of
the combination it left the factory with.
