So I turn to the brain trust that is NES...
I've had this safe (one of many) for about 6 years now... and have never had an issue with its function. Until today. I tumble in the combo... then insert the key and turn. The key only turns half way before being stopped. Safe won't open. I've tried "massaging" the tumbler ever so slightly to the right or left of the last number while turning the key hoping that something will give... but nothing.
I don't keep firearms in this safe... but I do keep some ammo in here (what is now, worth about $3 Million ).
Any suggestions on how to open it up? I mean, I know I could go crackhead on it with a crowbar and sledge hammer... but... do I now have to get a locksmith or somebody like that to come in and open it/fix the tumbler?
This is the malfunctioning storage device:
