I was getting some stuff together to take to the gunshow and My Liberty Centurion safe will not open. I can put in the combo (dial) But the lugs will not engage. They put a stupid clutch on the handle so you can't force it open. Any ideas how to open it without destroying it?
Yep, tried that. thanks
Safe has not been moved, the allen is tight. I'll try the sloppy combo thing. Thanks for the suggestions
I have the same safe, and I had this problem. I paid a locksmith 50 bucks to reset the thing once I got it opened.
Also, put in your combo and wiggle the handle rapidly back and forth
sometimes this would cause the combo to "drop" into position freeing the lock\
my safe would open in this manner for months before almost totally gettting out of alignment

Your combo has probably become a little loose over time, like said above try a few numbers either way a few times. I used to work for a large security company that operated banking equipment and you would be suprised how many old safes that had been shut for years upon years that I opened this way. Of course after opening you need to get it reset by a competent locksmith. If you are unable to get it open through conventional means you may have to drill the lock, in that case you'll need to have the door welded shut afterwards and a quality combo installed. Good luck.
