    Default Breaking into safe

    After moving my safe, it no longer opens. I have the combo, but when turning back the dial to open I feel it catch and go past. I have put the combo in about 50x and still no luck. Centurion safe by Liberty with the dial combo.

    Call liberty on Monday. Don’t they offer a lifetime warranty on them?

    So what about the key? Is it inside the safe?

    The key locks the dial so you can't turn it.

    The handle spins a little if I try to turn it past one way or the other. I'll try that when we get back home.

    This will take some time but do this-it is exactly what a locksmith will do from the start.
    Work your combo as normal but instead of your normal numbers go +- one or two numbers each way from the normal. It is pretty common for the tumblers to shift a bit if the safe is jarred or if you throw the dial hard and fast when your unlocking it.
    Go slowly and methodically, one number set at a time. Keep notes and go slowly.

    Curious. How would this play out if it was a digital lock vs a dial lock?

    Depends on the quality. If digital, you could try the relays location(s) with heavy neodymium magnets

    So I cranked the handle back to the right and kept turning it for a full turn. It opened the first try on the combo. Thank you for the advice. Now that hunting season is over, I finally can get my binoculars out of the safe.
