Opening a safe

So I bought a place to remodel and we found a safe inside it but theres no code. How the hell can I open this safe?! Can I call the company and get a code or something?
 
Get a safe cracker. Or maybe this device. :awe:

Sledge hammer, crowbar and some sweat will open a cheap safe (the kind of thing most home owners buy). If it's a gun safe, just take a axe to the side of the safe (cause they are not safes at all and are just thin sheet metal).
 
Ask to borrow Locut0s' new dremel.

Do you want to open it and still be able to use it as a safe (difficult), get inside (not so difficult), or just see inside (easy)?
 
It's a Meilink Thermovault. Purely guessing...I'd say it's around 75 lbs maybe?

I guess we could actually use a safe, but I'm curious what's inside...how would I do that (or open it)?
 
Peering inside requires one electric drill and a bi-metal holesaw. If what you see looks good, then you can try a larger holesaw to reach in. A corded drill would be best for the amount of time it will take. Cutting fluid is recommended to cool the bit. Blu-Mol makes a a good holesaw.

Edit: Check with the manufacturer to find out if this model has an asbestos liner. If it does, you should probably defer to a locksmith. Drilling through asbestos without proper precautions to control dust really is a bad idea.

I had a safe in a house that I managed. There was a sticker with the safe company's name on it. When I called them, they said it was something ridiculous (like $200/hour ;minimum 2 hours) to open it. I said forget it.
