I have an H0822 Secustar Safe. The keys are locked inside & the battery is too weak to open the safe with my code. Any options?

Classic mistake keeping the emergency key inside the safe! It can be opened very easily in 10 seconds with a large rare earth puck magnet in a sock. They all work the same way using an electronic magnetic solenoid operated by the internal battery. The puck magnet does it externally. https://www.google.com/search?q=open+safe+with+puck+magnet. ..

On my house door lock, I recharged my batterie and now the lock wont work

When it comes to rechargeable batteries there is an unspoken rule to not use them for smoke detectors, clocks, and menial electronics. Only use them for flashlights and stereo systems that you carry on your shoulder. :) All you can do is make sure that the batteries are touching all the terminals and that they are facing the right way.

Can't remember combination to Brinks locking carabiner. It's opened but locked.

Look at the YouTube channel 'The Lock Picking Lawyer'. All his videos are short and sweet. All combination locks can be decoded with a feeler gauge or a thin piece of plastic. He will have opened this lock.

My master lock 630D is stuck open! It swivels, but won't lift up to close it...any answers for that?

If your Master Lock 630D is stuck open and the handle won't lift up to close it, there are a few possible reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Lubrication: Over time, dirt, dust, or rust can accumulate inside the lock mechanism, causing it to become stiff. Try applying a lubricant, such as WD-40 or a graphite-based lock lubricant, into the keyhole and around the shackle. Allow the lubricant to penetrate the lock for a few minutes, and then attempt to close the lock again. 2. Shackle Alignment: Sometimes, the shackle may not be aligned properly with the lock body, preventing it from closing. Gently wiggle or rotate the shackle while attempting to lift it up. This movement may help align the shackle and allow it to close properly. 3. Apply Pressure: While attempting to lift the shackle, apply gentle pressure on different parts of the lock body, such as the top or sides. Sometimes, applying slight pressure can help release any stuck components or align them correctly. 4. Tap the Lock: Tap the lock body with a rubber mallet or a similar non-damaging object. This gentle impact might help dislodge any internal components that are stuck, allowing the lock to close. 5. Seek Professional Help: If none of the above steps work, or if you are uncomfortable attempting to fix the lock yourself, it's best to consult a professional locksmith. They have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and resolve lock issues safely. Remember, it's important to be gentle when trying to fix a lock to avoid causing damage. If none of the troubleshooting steps work, consulting a professional locksmith is the best course of action.

Kwikset smartcode lock blinking red keypad

Another cause for the red LED blinking on your Kwikset lock, especially when it beeps 3 times is it could be jammed or misaligned. When this happens, check and see if the door is securely latched or aligned properly. If needed, you can also adjust the strike plate to get the latch moving freely again. You can read more here: https://revolar.com/why-is-my-kwikset-lock-blinking-red/

Suresafe Digital Safe misplaced key

Well you put the code in and it opens. I guess you missed of the part where you ignored the 'Change Battery' notifications and the incessant beeping :>D Or has it just failed, found it in a skip, found it in a house, code written on the back? You can open it faster with a rare earth puck magnet than you can inputting the code. The word ;Safe; is a misnomer.

I've lost my letter combination from an antique post office coin bank

If it has a single dial that you turn left a number of turns and then right a number of turns, they are hard to decode. If it has a number of code wheels like a combination lock, they are easy to decode. Ask if the Lock Picking Lawyer will do it for you and make a video. https://www.youtube.com/@lockpickinglawyer https://www.google.com/search?q=opening+antique+post+office+coin+bank ..

I have a Winchester 14 gun safe. I forgot the digital code.

Apparently when you got the safe, you also got an emergency key for it as well, just in case you forgot the combination. The key also permits you to reprogram the safe. Where might the key be? --Perhaps with the documentation for the safe or a safety deposit box or gun maintenance materials. It is anybody's guess where you hid the key. You otherwise will have a difficult time opening the safe on your own. You may need a referral to a locksmith but here is the phone number to the technical services of Winchester Safes: Technical Service at 877-948-6723.
