Popular Post bbi1 Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 (edited) I accidentally locked my safety box keys inside the safety box. Anyone know of any locksmiths who will do in-house calls to come to a condo room in central Pattaya area to come and open up the safety box? Thanks I tried the methods YouTube people suggested but none of them work. I tried the "banging on the top of the safe" and the throwing the safe up and dropping it on the bed for the bouncy mechanism to unlock. Both don't work for me.

champers Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) My condo complex has a locksmith on call to deal with such events. The couple of times I have used them the charge was 300 Baht. That wouldn't get a locksmith out of bed in my home country. Speak to whoever is on duty in your condo lobby. Edited March 28 by champers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked them but they said I need to find one myself 😞 That's why I'm asking here before I start Googling different locksmiths.

SAFETY FIRST Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) There's key cutting guys big c, Pattaya Klang inside, Pattaya Tai outside car park, ask these guys. Also key cutting shop, Pattaya Tai, 50 metres west side of TukCom. I'm sure he can help you. I reckon you should buy a combination safe. 😂 Good luck Edited March 28 by SAFETY FIRST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been using the key to physically open it as I don't know the digital code to open it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you just turn the handle thing on the front to lock it. It's a similar type of safe that all hotels use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is a bit late now, horse bolted and such but, you should have reset the code before you started using it. What you have done is akin to locking a scooter key under the seat. You will only do it once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeworld Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Are there some staff working in the building? They may have experience and some ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Try Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=pattaya+locksmith The first entry looks already like what you want. An alternative is to ask any of the motorcycle taxi riders near you. In my experience they know such things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to be changed on installation. A shot in the dark but try 000000 or 123456. (Both 4 and six digit numbers) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is open, you might want to try and reset the code? With the safe unlocked and the door open, look for the rest button. It could be on the side of the door next to the hinges, or take the battery cover off. Change the batteries at the same time. Sometimes the reset is a small circle below the battery case. Press it with something small with a point until it beeps. Enter the new code and press # or B - usually the bottom right hand button. If you know all of this - apologies. Or get the locksmith to reset it. They usually use 1234. A tad obvious though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5davidhen1 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 After you have resolved your problem, hide the key somewhere (other than inside the safe) and get used to using the combination lock. Whilst the safe is open, locate a small button at the back of the door. pressing this button should cancel any previously set code. KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN, input a new 4-digit code, one which (hopefully) you will always remember, then press button "B". Now, again, KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN, turn the knob as one would normally do after closing the door. The lock should now be activated and you can prove that you have succeeded in this exercise by inputting your code again (followed by pressing button "A" and unlocking the door. N.B. you need to press button "A" every time after inputting your code in order to unlock the mechanism. By KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN, if you have done anything wrong, and the mechanism will not unlock, you can press the button at the back of the door and start again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
