How to Open a Locked Wall Safe

If you have valuable items, such as family heirlooms, jewelry or gold coins, or important documents, such as a secret family recipe for cookies, confidential business memos, or a passport, you might want to protect them from thieves by locking them in a wall safe. One advantage of a wall safe is that besides remaining locked to anyone who doesn't know the combination, you can hide it behind a painting, or install it in the back of a closet, making it all the more difficult for criminals to find.

Things You'll Need

• Combination to the safe
• Key

Instructions

1. Rotate the dial to the left, passing zero at least three times, and then stop when you reach the first number of your combination.

2. Rotate the dial to the right until the second time you reach the second number of your combination.

3. Rotate the dial to the left until you reach the third number of your combination. Some safes require that you insert a key and turn it after rotating the dial to enter the combination. Pull firmly on the door handle to open the safe.

4. Type in the numbers of your combination if the safe uses a digital keypad instead of a rotating dial, and then pull open the door.
