We had a death in our family, my brother. He had two Cobalt brand safes that we dont have the combination too. Anyone have suggestions ? or know of a lock smith that wont charge a arm and a leg? there are two safes. We are in the Ann Arbor area.
Thanks.
Mike

Are the dials mechanical or electric? If they are mechanical, it is very possible to manipulate them open. A decent locksmith should be able to do it, although typically they prefer to drill them to save time. Also, there are lock forums with hobbyists that can do it as well. If you found someone nearby they might be happy to do it for free!
Any decent safe is going to have a lock that the owner would change the combination to, so it is unlikely the manufacturer would have the combination.Last edited by pmcombs; 11-15-2016 at 10:57 PM.

They are mechanical, and quotes from locksmiths are crazy high. Still stumped.

Do you have AAA insurance - it may be covered on there lock out policy!
or try the lock manufacture - possible they could help.

Do you know what brand the locks are? They should say S&G or possibly LaGard on the dials. My guess is that they are S&G 6730s, which are the basic combination locks and are the easiest to manipulate. Originally Posted by shootermike

I want to give a huge recommendation to Steve's Locksmith services. He did a great job, and was quite a bit cheaper than the other quotes. He stayed until we all understood the new combinations and knew how to work the dials. Prompt, and good service at a good price, what more could you ask for. His link is in the above replies. I want to thank everyone that offered help too
Mike.
