I once read that a certain group in one of the Western State's police had discovered a method of opening safe's. They used a 8" angle grinder with cut-off wheels. This was presented in evidence at their trial :-) -- cheers, John B. |

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. :-) And the Mosler and Diebold security file cabinets have at a minimum a pair of big fat bolts going into the frame on either side of the drawer front where the combination lock is mounted. There are linkages which lock the other drawers to a lesser extent when the master drawer is closed. And -- one which I had decades ago had a big thick door which had the multi-bolts on all sides arrangement with hinges designed to roll back into the side of the safe on the right. The rest of the safe contained a normal file cabinet. It was locked by both a combination lock and a key lock. And those combination locks are designed so if you try to drill them out, or break off the dial and then drive it through the back of the lock, a secondary mechanism double-locks the bolt, so you are back to milling off the border of the door -- which goes in steps as you get deeper. Oh yes -- the lock is also protected by cement filled with old carbide inserts, to make drilling a bit of a task, too. :-) "Round and round the door" would work eventually -- but that would be several inches thickness of hardened steel before you get there. :-) Or look into a portable mill setup. I have a strong box which I thought I lost the keys to. If I couldn't get it opened by a locksmith - that was the sort of route I was figuring I would be taking. If you still have it -- check whether there are fat bolts which are operated by the locking mechanism. That might make full destruction the main choice. :-) And the security file cabinets come with labels specifying how long they protect against various things, including "manipulation of the lock" and "fire". But the fun one was "0 man-minutes against forceable entry". (Explosives, I presume. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Remove oil spill source from e-mail Email: | (KV4PH) Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

Nichols" on 26 Jul 2016 04:43:37 GMT typed in rec.crafts.metalworking the following: While a lance will not "destroy" gold...it will...will destroy everything else inside the safe, paper money, jewelry etc etc 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. Yeah, I've been watching too many low-budget bank robbery films. http://image.shutterstock.com/z/stoc...-137488052.jpg http://thesafehouse.info/articles/Un...fe/Figure4.jpg http://0.tqn.com/w/experts/Locksmith...03/safe_60.jpg Holy ****, Batman! That's a layer cake, innit? 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. Umm, how often have you locked yourself inside your bank vault, that you would know this, hmm? I worked around safes with a family member who worked for Debolt as a safe repair guy for a few years as a kid. The mechanics of them fascinated me and I learned a bit about them. Same with slot machines when I was working for Western Geo out in Nevada. Something interesting and I tended to pick it up pretty quickly.

The hinges aren't what secures a safe door, they just keep it from falling on your toes when you open it. Unlike a front door (hinges on the right, bolt on the left) a safe door is typically secured by bolts on top, right, left, bottom. The big lever retracts LOTS of bolts when the safe is opened. |

If you are careful, you can weld back the sides and keep using the safe. i |
