Can't get me old safe open

[clearconscience]

Just get a high school kid he'll probably get in within 5 mins, or a crackhead and tell him it's full of meth

Well guys its OPEN!! Thanks @Joe13 for the extra hand getting it open.

We ended up drilling the side and taking a punch to it. Popped right open. After closer inspection it looks like the bar that moves the lower side bolt in and out was bent just enough to keep the door from opening. So I am going to JB Weld the side and straighten the bar and I am back in business.

Good work!

It was good times for sure.

I am really glad we aren't still scratching our heads and beating on it like monkeys

Good job fellahs! @SKrueger could you put a stiffener of some kind -- bar stock/angle iron/square tubing along the inside channel of the bar to prevent it from bending again? Looks like it wouldn't be that difficult.

Anyhow, good job!

No we took the door panel off to see why the bottom bolt wasn't retracting all the way.

We thought about that actually.

OK now jam it again with the door locked, and start over and lets see how much more entertainment we can get out of this thing!

I don't think that either of us said that. If I remember correctly we just stood there with a dumbfounded look on our faces for a second. I was shocked it worked






Was totally ready to rip it out with my truck!!

There was a whole lot of "damn I'm glad we aren't still at that" for an hour or so afterwards though lol
