One of my safes has a combo using my old long distance user name on the CB from back in the day when I used a Linear for more power. Somebody in California may remember my combo!! Whoa They used to be 3000 miles away...now only a 1000. I may have to change it...

Did you remember it yet?

Remember what? 😄

I also had trouble opening my safe. My son told me "Dad, have you replaced the battery on the lock?" My hearing is bad and did not realize the battery was dead. My son also said, "Dad, you never hear it making the noise when you enter it correctly or when you miss the combination".
It turns out that it has two tones and I never heard either.
New battery was put in and got it open on first try. Plus he has the combination as well.

LOL YES!!!
I think i have peter- paul to thank mainly ,
I tried his suggested method of commanding myself, outloud to remember . Immediately a number sprang to mind , it turned out to be WRONG lol BUT i still remembered that number the next day ...strange right ?
the numbers kept tumbling around in my head til this morning i started to have the number 81 tumbling around kind of " in front" of the others (as i visualize them in my minds eye) turns out i had mistakenly remembered 51 instead of 81
After a time i realized i was probably remembering the entire combination lol
I tried it, and sure enough it popped open
THANK YOU ALL , especially you peterpaul , pretty slick trick
It is now written down in mutiple places ...not in my phone either haha

I just use the 5 digits of my old carry 1911, but not any letters. This is a cheapo little safe I keep in my bedroom.

The real deal gun safe has the same combo that I gave the factory years ago.

Pick a book on the shelf and a page # that is important to you. If any crook finds it they will be an educated crook.

If I fond them breaking into my safe they will become very well educated.

Congratulations on figuring it out.

kamloops, send me that combo and I'll keep it in a "safe" place for you...my safe.

What is your address again?

Got the Wife a Sentry safe for here jewelry. Digital type with emergency keys. Something went wrong with the digital stuff. No problem says I; where's the emergency key I gave you. Nowhere to be found. Went to Sentry, was able to satisfy their questions and they sent us two new keys. The day they showed up in the mail was the day I found the original ones in my gun safe, where I must have put them. Definitly CRS or CRAFT.

Wouldn’t do you any good-
you don’t know my memorized code.

If I had to remember a lock combination for anything, I'd be in trouble. And if I wrote the combo down I forget where I put the note. I don't own a gun "safe", but a gun "locker" with a keyed lock. Even my gym locker is keyed.

Wow! I'm extremely happy this worked for you! This was taught to me in Intel school. Our minds are amazing things, everything we have experienced is still floating around up there.

I've used this technique to remember where I've put things, people's names, and numbers.

Sometimes it takes a while for the info to surface, but it usually does !

All the best!

That's what I'm afraid of...

But I'm going to keep a note on that technique as I've misplaced a number of things.
