I need help opening a new Allied-Gary Model B-9 safe
s/n: 1288-4098-F which I purchased used from Tektronix in
Beaverton, Or. I called the locksmith which still support
the Allied-Gary safes and they want too much to make it worth
opening so it could be reused. I would be willing to invest
another $25-$30 to have it opened and the combo reset. I sounds
like the origonal combo paper packet is still inside. It is
a four combo dial with opening handle, about 1 cubic foot unit
weighs about 60 lbs. No tumblers are heard, only slip disks,
three of them. I've tried the 1,2,3,4 and 10,20,30,40 combo,
I think someone reset the combo and locked it again, forgetting
the combo.
Thanks in advance, Gary Spence Beaverton, Or.

There's only 3 numbers in the combo, and it's going to cost a lot more that 30
bucks. We get 65 to reset the combo if it isn't locked up. Openings start at a
couple of hundred.

Since your to cheap to have the job done correctly, you got a boat
anchor. 20 to 30 bucks
you got to be kidding. We don't change combo's for less than 60.00.
opening min 250.00.
do you think we pick the knowledge of how to do this stuff out thin
air.
get serious.

take a cutting torch and cut the door in 3 peices and it will open for
you and should cost less than $25

Try 25 - 50 - 25 - 0

Is there a manufacturer's name on the dial?

:the combo.

If this is the case and it is no longer at the factory setting, it will
not be trivial to open.

On The Other Hand: You might be able to convert that boat anchor back
into cash by offering to sell it to your local
safe tech. If you got it for a good price, you might even
be able to make a small profit on the deal.

Good luck. Safe openings aren't easy -- that's the point of
having a safe, after all -- and hence aren't cheap.
