We have a SS round safe head, on a combined bay 2/3 vault. Qrtrs are totally full up in that calt. It is a dial valt, not plug lock.
Seems to be pressing so hard outwards, cause of qrtrs, we can't open it.
Any advice?
If u want to send in private, DM me or text 409)200-4667

Had that happen once and it was a bear to open. Here’s what I did. The safe head has three prongs that stick out and are all interconnected. Rotate the head till one prong is pointed straight out to the side. Then chip away the block till you can get a straight shot at the head. Then grab a 5 lb hammer and drive pin. Then just start pounding away. Be prepared to pound for a while. Yu might want to call a locksmith and see what he would charge. Either way the safe had will be toast.
