There are 5 things you can do wrong when opening a safe.

Here are the most common mistakes:

1. Your key won't turn in the lock anymore. Instead of trying to force it, check the key and lock for dirt and wear. You can often fix the problem yourself.

2. The electronic lock won't open. Sometimes the battery is still enough to make it beep. However, the motor that unlocks the lock is no longer powered. Replace the battery with a new one.

3. The mechanical combination lock won't open. This problem is usually caused by the operator. If you use your safe lock frequently, it's a good idea to reset the code about once a year. This prevents the combination from being changed due to wear and tear.

4. Have the safe opened when the alarm system is armed. If you don't deactivate the alarm or notify the appropriate control center before opening the safe, you'll receive unexpected visitors.

5. Opening the safe with a plasma cutter, oxygen lance, or explosives isn't a good idea. The safe will open, but the contents will be burned.

It is important to have a professional safe opening performed by a qualified professional to ensure that the safe and its contents are not damaged.
