A lance is something you use when you know the safe is empty..or the
contents need to be destroyed.

It seems to me that one could put the safe on a mill (if
possible), and "mill off" the hinges. Or round and round the door
till it is no longer held in place.

Hmm ... in a real safe, the hinges are to support the door when
it is open -- to keep it from falling and crushing your toes. :-)

There are a number of fat hardened steel bolts around the door
-- deep into the thickness of it -- which go into sockets in the frame.
Mill off the hinges and the door is still not going to go anywhere. :-)

Yeah, there is that.

Maybe just milling a circle in a face until it falls out.

Right, mill the steel cover off the door so you can get at the guts.

Actually...in most of those safes...the cover is on the inside...not
the outside. Lots and lots of metal in the front. Shrug
Most of them are hardened in the front as well..which is why they are
so ****ing hard to get into.

You can open them from the inside with a impact driver and a crescent
wrench...or even a square sided big screw driver and a crescent
wrench.
