The Antics of Safe-Cracking: How to Open a Liberty Safe Without the Combo

Safe-cracking is not the easiest feat, but it can be a fun one to obtain. It’s no child’s play, and it requires a set of skills and thorough understanding of how safe-combos work. Most of us probably don’t have a reason to know how to crack a safe, but the desire to do it can be exhilarating. If you’re up for the challenge and want to get your adrenaline pumping, keep reading, and let’s dive into the world of safe-cracking.

Understanding Safe Combinations: The First Step to Safe-Cracking

Understanding how a safe’s combination works is the first step to cracking it open. A safe combo comprises three numbers. The caveat with the numbers, however, is that they create different paths within the safe’s locking mechanism. Over time, the friction of the locking mechanism against the safe door causes wear, and this wear becomes an advantage to a safe-cracker. During the wearing process, certain paths might be easier to set than others, and this is where it gets interesting.

Enter the Liberty Safe

Liberty safe is a popular and trusted brand when it comes to securing property. However, as the saying goes, no one is infallible. A Liberty Safe, like any safe, can be vulnerable to the right trick. In this article, we focus on how to take apart a Liberty Safe without the combo.

Safe-Cracking Rules 101

Before we dive right into how to take apart a Liberty Safe without the combo, let’s review safe-cracking rules 101.

• Always ensure you have access to legal means of safe-cracking.
• Don’t use your acquired knowledge to crack into other people’s safes.
• Take all the required safety precautions when attempting to crack a safe.
• Be gentle with the safe; we don’t want to inflict any damage.
• Don’t cause yourself any physical harm either.

The Slow and Steady Method

The slow and steady method is relatively easy, and anyone can do it. The method requires two tools: a stethoscope and a finger. Before you start, ensure you have access to both tools. Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Begin by setting the first wheel. Turn the safe lever until you hear a click. Stop and listen for the wheels to stop spinning.
2. With the stethoscope, listen to every possible clicking sound while turning the dial to the second number. Once you hear a clicking sound, stop and note the number.
3. Repeat the process until all the three-wheel clicks are recorded, and you have the right combination.

Note: This method works best if you live in a noise-free area.

The Master Locksmith Method

Attempting this method requires a higher level of skill and expertise. This is where the master locksmiths come in, wielding their professional-level tools. Here are the steps for attempting the master locksmith method:

1. Insert the drill at a 30-degree angle, and ensure it sits right in the middle of the keyhole.
2. Mark the exact spot you stopped drilling.
3. Using a ruler and a pen, measure the depth of the drill hole.
4. Insert the locking pliers and twist until the locking mechanism releases.

Note: This method is illegal in many states, and only professional locksmiths should attempt it.

Safecracker Techniques

The safecracker technique is less common, but it is an excellent method to use when you have no other choice. The technique is most effective when the Liberty Safe is already a little open. Here are the steps:

1. Insert a drill bit through the gap, towards the locking mechanism.
2. Drill until the locking mechanism releases and the door opens.

Note: This method is still illegal, and it’s not advised.
