Help!!! Easiest way of getting into my strongbox.

If this is like most, it's a simple lock -- quick and easy job for a locksmith. Take it in and ask for a quote.

If the price still scares you off, feel free to bash and hack at the thing until you get it open, but don't expect to get advice on how to defeat locks here. See the FAQ for reasons why not.

We don't give out unlocking instructions on a public forum. That would be very dishonorable.

As to getting advice from me, you're on your own.

When you start whacking your strongbox with that sledge hammer, remember that whatever force you strike the box with goes through everything in it. If there's one piece of metal in the box it can shred the papers.

If the manufacture is local to your area, take it there and they should be able to sell you a key. Take the box to a locksmith as it probably won't cost as much as you think. All the low cost strongboxes I've worked on can be picked easily or opened by making an original key by various methods. Around here it's $10-20 in the shop.

Leesa, There is probably a way you could pry it open, but I can't see it for one thing and for another, I don't discuss defeating. Those little boxes are no big job.I've done alot of them.

Later, goma.

bring it to a Locksmith. also, defeating instructions are NOT given on this open forum for obvious reasons. read the FAQ
