Don't need to, not if it's like he says it is.
Where are you?
Or go to:
So what does that mean? It doesn't need to be drilled or don't need to try sava thing or what?
I guess I can try that but I am in west virginia in a pretty rural area so there aren't a lot of locksmiths around here.
IF its locked SHUT, you probably need to drill it, you need experienced help.
you do NOT want a lock out on this.
IF you want the time lock gone thru, that a whole nuther scenario.. I know a time lock place in Kansas, they clean etc as needed.

SAVTA shows 12 there in your state.
It means that this particular safe was designed with the time lock as the main locking mechanism. The other lock is there to prevent casual entry when the premises where the safe is are occupied. With the timelock in use it's a formidable safe. Without it it isn't all that secure. It can be opened without drilling, much, if any, damage or even any special skill beyond a little knowledge and the ability to use very basic hand tools properly. Ideally once you get it open if you want to make it as secure as it use to be you should consider getting a professional to replace the timelock mechanism with a modern safe lock, if you don't want the timer function.
I probably told you enough here to open it if you are mechanically inclined enough to do it in the first place so I'm going to shut up now.
PS If you do get it open DO NOT ever for any reason simply remove the time lock and close the safe or you will really be locked out. Remove the main locking bolt (the one controlled by the time lock) too, or do what I said and have it EXPERTLY converted to work with a modern lock if the time lock is no good or you don't want the time lock function. Collector value would be highest if you leave the time lock in it.
OK now I'll shut up.
Ok......At first I thought you were dicking me around but after spending about an hour playing with the dial and realizing no way was I going to ever figure out the combo. Then finally figuring out how the dial unscrews and another hour or so looking, thinking and messing with the rest of the door I finally got it. That little clip thing was really pissing me off until I figured out what it was and where it was. Don't worry I won't post any more details. I can see why you wouldn't want to just hand this to some idiot. It's pretty cool how it works but I don't think I'm going to be putting anything valuable in here without using the other lock. Thanks.
