This is an excerpt from the BIG BROTHER GAME on opening safes via the "sound"
|
|
method. Granted, this approach will not work on many safes, but keep in mind
|
|
all the ones that it will... Of course, this is presented as A MATTER OF
|
|
GENERAL INFORMATION and is by no means meant to be used for any purposes other
|
|
than those of utmost legality.

Some safes can be opened by sound, much as in the movies, but most that were
|
|
manufactured, after the mid 60's are not susceptible to the following method:
|
|
|
|
A high gain amplifier is used. A small, direct-coupled amplifier can be
|
|
purchased for about 5 dollars from the various electronic supply houses. A
|
|
contact microphone (i.e. one that "hears" vibrations rather than actual sound)
|
|
should be employed. BE SURE to use a matching transformer if the impedances
|
|
do not match; and in a pinch, a crystal phone cartridge can be employed as a
|
|
contact microphone.
|
|
|
|
Place the contact mic on the safe, near the dial. Now, turn the dial 5 times
|
|
to the left to clear it. Now, turn back towards the right. On the first
|
|
revolution, you should hear a distinct click as the cam and lever engage.
|
|
Read the number. This will be the opening number, or the last number dialed
|
|
to open the safe.
|
|
|
|
Continue turning to the right. Youi will hear an additional click during the
|
|
next 4 or 5 turns. This indicates how many tumblers you are actually dealing
|
|
with. Most safes will have 3, but some will have 4 or 5.
|
|
|
|
While you are determining the number of tumblers, disregard the drop-in click
|
|
that occurs at the opening number on each turn.
|
|
|
|
Our turning the dial to the right 5 times also perfons another duty; it clears
|
|
the mechanism. This means that the dial has picked up all the tumblers and is
|
|
moving them in rotation with the dial.
|
|
|
|
After jour five turns to the right, wo move the dial about 10 points BEYOND
|
|
the opening number. If the opening number is 15, wi would move to 25 and
|
|
stop. Now we move back to the exact opening number.
|
|
|
|
This procedure puts the opening lever and cam in position to open the safe
|
|
(although the tumblers are not lined up so it will not open) now at this
|
|
point, you can rock the safe dial back and forth without actually turning it.
|
|
|
|
This rocking motion causes the lever to click against the tumblers (through
|
|
the lever slot). This clicking can be heard by the manipulater in his ear
|
|
phones. The whole secret here is the noise will vary depending on the number
|
|
of tumblers the lever is clicking against. (Much like the difference in
|
|
hitting three notes on the piano at the same time, or just hitting one.)
|
|
|
|
Should we have happened to line one of the tumbler slots under the lever, the
|
|
sound will be that of the lever clicking only two tumblers (as the lever will
|
|
fit into the slot of the lined up tumbler, creating no sound).
|
|
|
|
Each time we rock the dial to make the lever-tumbler combination click we
|
|
(assuming that there was NO difference in the sound) move the dial back to
|
|
the right where it picks up the tumblers and number to realign the lever-cam
|
|
slot, and repeats the rocking motion.
|
|
|
|
When you hear a sound difference, (indicating that the tumbler slot is lined
|
|
up) you turn the dial back to the right until the click indicating the cam has
|
|
picked up the tumblers. Now immediately stop and read the number that is
|
|
lined up when you hear this click.
|
|
|
|
This is one of the combination numbers.
|
|
|
|
Now continue to the right 2 digits past the last try and move the dial back to
|
|
the opening number and repeat the procedure. Do this until you have all the
|
|
combination numbers.
|
|
|
|
Now, we know the opening number is the final number, but we don't know what
|
|
order the combination numbers are arranged, so you will have to try all 9
|
|
(assuming 3 combinations and one opening number) possible variations. One
|
|
will open the safe.
|
|
|
|
Some times you will have to move the dial a couple of points beyond the
|
|
opening number to get the cam to retract the bolt and open the lock.
|
|
|
|
Some locks open to the right, i.e. R four turns 22
|
|
L three turns 18
|
|
R two turns 46
|
|
L to opening 15
|
|
|
|
Some will be the opposite (L-R-L-R).
|
|
|
|
Most locks will open no matter which way it is turned, however, a rough
|
|
guideling is:
|
|
Sargent....right
|
|
Diebold....right
|
|
Yale.......left
|
|
Mosler.....left
|
|
|
|
This sort of technique will not work on high quality modern safes as they
|
|
employ nylon tumblers, sound baffles, and devices to prevent the lever from
|
|
touching the tumblers until ready to open. Because of this, the good agent
|
|
will have a couple of alternative methods in his repertoire.
