GunVault - NV300 - locked out!

[Gatling77]

Little embarrassing but i got locked out of my NV300. It is open but the combo is locked where I cannot close it and lock it. I called the company and they told me that I have to go thru each set of #'s until i figure out the combo...that's not going to happen. So, does anyone know how to reset one of these locks without doing what the company suggested? Let the abuse begin !

No key?

3 digit combo style.

Seriously, it should only take about ten minutes to try 1000 combinations.

Let's meet up and I will time you, you get it done in 10 minutes by going thru the dial, its yours!

I have a GunVault, and there is a "learn" button to change the combo. I do not remember if you need the prior combination in order to change the combination. If you can download the instructions for the container, it should have instructions on how to change the combination.

Locksmith?


Actually may not be worth it....I remember when I had to use one as a manager.

I agree. Maybe not 10 but not many. Pour yourself a glass of Courvoisier, put some safe crackin' music on the hi-fi and try all the numbers. If you can do one a second, that's only about 16.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666667 (ish) minutes.

Next question: Really how secure is this thing?

Seriously.....Take it into the bathroom and while sitting on the throne, start going up the numbers.......Only work on it while your on the throne. So it might take a few visits. Eventually you will get it.

I'm not very familiar with this safe (so this post might not be helpful) but in the "industry" fire safes of that size are known as "five second safes" not sure how hardened these are against attack, but..... Wrecking bar and hammer?

 

[Fattman]

I'll buy it for 15 bucks!

 

[gearjunky13]

Sooo what, you forgot the combo or you never had it? Also try the factory defalt code (000)

For hell of it try (123) or (321)

Anyone puting bets on what it is?

I've undone a couple 3 digit locks while watching tv:

pull on the loop, spin one number wheel in a full circle. If that doesn't work, increment the next wheel. repeat. if those 10 spin + increment moves doesn't work, increment the last digit once, and repeat. maybe takes 5 minutes.

I'm not familiar with the safe, but it should be pretty similar.

 

[Metalhead]

I found the key!

 

[JSnaxx]

If the safe is open, you should be able to see how the lock itself is secured inside, might be easy to disassemble and go from there?

 

[GunGrey]

this is why i do not own these shitty things

 

[Mike-Mike]

This will work. Dont try and remember what combo you set it to. Instead think what would I set it to now, and try that.

I'm game. I'm also in Shrewsbury, which may make things more difficult. Too bad I sold the plane

 

[GunGrey]

I thought everyone used 111 with the last digit being 0 to unlock it

IN for the Karma

You might be able to "detect" the code by spinning and turning the dial (or pulling, however it unlocks). I've done this with 3 wheel rotary locks before.

Just turn each one and listen/feel for a different click. Or go thru all of them. You really have NO IDEA what the code is? Not even a clue? You probably know it's not 123 or 000 so now there's only 998 to go

EDIT:

Try pushing on the "learn" button while doing the above and it might work better.

 

[gearjunky13]

Give it to a 5yr old, they will have that lock undone in 5 seconds. it was empty right?

 

[swampy]

It must have a slot where the two halves go together that interlock. Can't you see into the combo lock part and just allign the notches? Even if you just squeeze the halves together and spin through the numbers until it slaps shut. Just don't overshoot it and relock it without noting the combo.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

Sometimes you can slip a thin probe on the side of each wheel to find the engagement spot.

 

[swampy]

You can try the same technique I use to re-assemble my Ruger Mark 1. Put the thing in a big cardboard box and shake it until it goes together.

my thoughts are make it a pain in the ass and that will be the best deterrent you can hope for. If they break in and the alarm is going off (cell connection so no line to cut + battery back up) and with the alarm blaring find the safe and have time to rip it out of the studs and get it out of the house before the cops arrive, go for it. As much as i hate to admit it, I'm not that big of a deal and doubt I ever will be, so having a "pro" thief show up is not likely

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Good luck with this ****ing thing. I hate combo locks.
