Hey guys,
Not sure if you recall, but about a week or so ago I asked the list about a Gardall Safe that I was trying to open, without drilling, just for fun (and having no locksmithing experience).
The thread is here:
Anyway, here's the questions I've got for you guys:
- In combination entering, is there a tolerance for being 'close' but not directly on a combination? For example, if the number is 66, will
- As far as combinations themselves go, I know that masterlocks have formulas that can be applied to deduce a number of possible combinations. Are there any similar formulas for safes? My safe is a Gardall 1612/2 (I believe.) Link here: formatting link
- Are things like duplicate numbers allowed in safe combinations? (I.E. is 22-22-22 valid? 22-22-12?)
Doing a little math, in the absolute worst case with no minimizations, assuming 30 seconds per attempt, it'll take around 347 days. Which I'm fine with - once its set up it will just run with no interruptions.
Thanks again guys. I'll be sure to post my progress if you guys are interested.
