Hey lads, I have a safe that I accidentally locked. It's a shitty Chinese stack-on with a mechanical dial (three disks each with nine positions).

I have a bunch of options:
>try all 723 combinations
>drill a hole and stick in a cable camera, then look at the dials (the backing protective carpet on the door is already off)
>pry the door open and cut the single flimsy locking bar (I can practically do this with a screwdriver, it's pathetically cheaply constructed
>learn how to crack it by sound/feel
>figure out where to drill to defeat the lock mechanism

There's nothing in is so I'm not in that much of a hurry. It's our club's gun safe, and I'm inheriting it... but we lost the combo and locked it by accident when me moved it.

what should I do?

also, what's a good quality endoscope under fifty bucks? Always wanted one to have around anyways

>> No.1354987

723 * 2secondsPerTry =1466 seconds = 24 minutes
50% chance of hitting it in 12 minutes
It could be open by now

In those 20 minutes between your post you could‘ve easily brute forced the combination.

>>1354987
2 seconds? you have to do 3R 2L 1R. And while there are only 729 combinations, you still have to somehow know when you're over the particular 5° section of a slot every 40°.

(meaning, it's difficult to brute force anything but the last disk). I would happily put a few hours into just trying combos but it's practically impossible

is there anything in it?
cut door off with angle grinder
put on new hinges
put on bracket for normal key lock

and make it so the hardware wont come out again
if smart people want to steal shit and it got a lock on it they just take the screws out of the door

I bought a cheap one on ebay that plugs into your phone, and it actually works better than you would think
I paid around $10 for it but I had to wait for it to ship from china. I looks like if you want it Prime youll pay about double that

>a mechanical dial (three disks each with nine positions)
Are those dials with 9 fixed positions, or are they more like "flying wheels" with 9 markings ?

if 9 fixed positions, consider bruteforce like >>1354987 said, or try asking /n/iggers on their bike "buying" threads : they "wuz kangz and shiet" when it's time to open a second-hand bicycle lock.

if flying wheels, get a doc's stethoscope and go for the old cartoon-like method : I've seen it done on a "classified stuff" safe from the 60s at my workplace, and I don't think your modern cheap chinkshit to be of a better facture, so...
