Tips to Open My Mosler Safe

Keep Duplicate Keys Handy

• A key lock operates exactly as it sounds. Similar to the front door of a home, a Mosler key lock safe possess a lock that can only be opened with a key that fits into its hole. Each key is cut into a unique shape. This allows the safe to be unlocked only by that specific key and its duplicates.
  
  Only having one key that can access a Mosler safe can be a drawback. If that key is lost and no duplicates have been made, the safe’s owner will be unable to access its contents. In this event, he will have to contact a professional locksmith to open the safe using special tools. This is colloquially called “picking the lock”.
  
  

Write Down Your Combination

• Combination locks are very common, often seen on padlocks used by children to secure their bicycles and school lockers. This style of Mosler safe does not require a key to open. Instead, owner’s utilizes a dial located on the side of the safe to enter a sequence of predetermined numbers. The safe opens when the correct numerical sequence is entered. If the wrong numerical sequence is entered, however, the safe remains locked. Combination locks are advantageous, because the absence of a keyhole prevents those without the combination from picking the lock. The downside, however, is that an owner who forgets her combination may never be able to enter her safe.
  
  

Keep Your Battery Charged

• Some Mosler safes are equipped with digital locks. Similar to combination locks, this style requires owners to enter a predetermined numerical sequence into a keypad. The safe opens when the right sequence has been entered. This type of lock is advantageous because it allows owners to open a safe using other methods in the event that the combination is lost. An electronic override key, master code or a mechanical key can unlock a safe when the combination is unavailable. This type of safe, however, is battery operated, so it is important to ensure that its battery is in proper working order so the safe may always be accessed.
