How to Operate a Safe Combination Lock With No Handle

A safe is a locking box used to secure valuables. There are many different kinds of safes available including combination-style safes without handles. To open a combination safe without a handle, you need to use the combination dial to unlock the safe. Once the safe is unlocked you can open the safe by using a button, pulling the safe door open with the combination dial or using a screwdriver to pry open the safe door.

Things You'll Need

• Flat edge screwdriver

Instructions

1. Turn the combination dial to the left in a counterclockwise motion stopping when the dial is pointed to the "0" position.

2. Turn the combination dial to the left in a counterclockwise motion. Complete three full rotations of the dial and stop when the dial is pointed to the first number of the combination.

3. Turn the combination dial to the right in a clockwise motion. Pass the second number of the combination. Complete one additional rotation stopping on the second number of the combination.

4. Turn the combination dial to the left in a counterclockwise motion stopping on third number of the combination.

5. Open the safe. The combination dial is now unlocked and you can pull open the door to the safe. Since the safe does not have a handle, look for a button on the safe that says "Open." If your safe doesn't have a button try pulling the door open from the combination dial. If the safe door is too strong to pull open from the combination dial, stick the edge of a flat edged screwdriver in the crack between the safe door and the side of the safe. Apply pressure to the screwdriver to pull open the safe door.
