Ridgeline safe won?t open..

[Tinelement]

Thanks Jim. I’ve tried pressure out on the dial, pressure in on the dial. Wiggling the locking wheel while working the dial. Tapping on and around the dial. Prying around the door with a pry bar while spinning the dial. And combinations of all of the above. Have a locksmith I’ve used before I’ll call when they open. Says they do safes on his website.

Sounds like a good reason to buy more tools!

Sent all the info to a locksmith I’ve used in the past. Hopefully coming out Monday. Guess I’m not shooting this weekend! Can’t make any purchases either since the gun funds are in there also.

Arapahoe County Security Center, Inc. in Aurora are great and they carry a ton of new and used safes

Something for the rest of us to keep in mind if you store all of your firearms in one locked basket.

Tin- Glad it didn't happen when you needed a firearm after hearing a bump in the night. Also, a credit card will let you obtain now, pay off with the funds in your safe after it gets opened.

Probably not worth fixing. I?ll offer you $500 for it as it sits.

I’ve got my edc and that’s with me at night. So not totally disarmed.
I have really wanted to tare into it, but would rather have a locksmith give it an assessment. They may have an idea on how to approach it a little more surgical. I’m sure it will end up as a steel closet instead of a safe in the end.
I have a personal rule that firearms are not bought unless I can use cash. Keeps the impulse purchases away, especially in this amazing economy we currently have.

That would be a hell of an investment.

I don’t know. No markings on the dial and no info in the paperwork..
