Drilling a Safeĭrilling a safe is another method that is common among professional safe technicians.
This is the most respected safecracking method ever because it is leaves no trace, and leaves the safe in perfect working condition and in no need of repairs. Most mechanical safe locks are susceptible to this attack, and while there are a handful of world renowned safe manipulators that can accomplish the task in a couple of minutes, it takes most professionals an hour or more. Safe technicians will commonly use stethoscopes to amplify the subtle sounds of the lock to aid in the process, as is commonly shown in movies. This method requires an intimate knowledge of the lock being manipulated, patience, and experience so it is only used by the most seasoned and experienced professional safecrackers. Due to manufacturing tolerances and variations many safe locks will give a very discreet sound or physical resistance when the safe wheels are being dialed a certain way. Safe manipulation is the process of discovering the safes combination through the sound or touch of the safe during certain processes. Likewise many high security safes use a combination of different materials in the barrier of the safe that will dull a saw blade in a matter of seconds, making cutting an expensive, noisy, messing, time consuming experience. There are also many safes which employ a layer of tar in the barrier of the safe to fill the room with smoke during a torch attack. Many modern high security safes have a composite barrier which includes a layer of copper plate that dissipates the heat of a torch to slow down the attack. While it is a sure fire way to get into a safe, it takes lots and lots of time, makes lots of noise, and is a huge mess.
In rare instances it is also a method that professional safe technicians use. Cutting Into a SafeĬutting, whether by torch or saw, into a safe is probably the most utilized method for professional criminals. Given enough strength, energy, and time, any safe could eventually be pried into, but rarely does a burglar have the time. However, when it does work, it is as simple as prying the door and the bolt work out of the door frame. Most prying attempts don’t even come close to gaining access to a quality safe. In my experience, this is the most common method of burglary attempts. This is the oldest, most common, and yet least effective method of attack when attempting to gain entry to a safe. We are merely going over the methods of safe opening that are commonly used by burglars and professional safe technicians. Safecracking Methodsĭisclaimer: We are not going to disclose any sensitive information that would make safe owners vulnerable. Regardless of the reason a safe needs to be opened, we are going to shed some light on a few of the methods of safe opening, or safecracking. They include but are not limited to: lost combinations, safe lock malfunctions, fires, and burglary attempts. Thieves are concerned with it for the obvious reasons, but you may ask why is a locksmith concerned with safe cracking?Well, there are a number of legitimate reasons that a safe needs to be cracked. Safe cracking or safe opening is primarily the concern of thieves, and locksmiths. It is merely meant to give a general understanding of the profession to the public. This post is not meant to be a definitive history of safecracking, nor a “how to”.
