Gun safe issues

My gun safe won’t open or shut. Any ideas on getting it to open?

Is the lock unlocked and the door physically will not move? Is the lock the issue? Who makes the safe? What model?

It must be shut if it won’t open?

Not trying to be funny.

Is this a riddle? Like a tree falling with nobody around?

My guess: he means the locking mechanism isn’t working, as opposed to the door not opening/closing.
OP: is it digital or a dial type?

Schrodinger's safe. Until you look at it, it's neither open nor shut, while also being both open and shut.

Have there been rabbits in the room with the safe?

My vote is for wedged partially open. Neither open nor shut, but won't open or close.

if it's a dial combo try one or two numbers before or after the actual combination for each number. Mine would not open after moving and one of the original number was 2 off. Takes some time and you have to do the process for each number.

That's a great answer! If only we knew the question.

Sounds more like a riddle than a help request. Lol.

I have a car and I lost the keys. How can I unlock the door and start it up?

I begin to see your problem: You can't open it because it's not shut, and you can't shut it because it's not open.

Tricky.
