I have a safe with an electronic lock,a "MAS-HAM
ILTON" Quicklock II, without the combination.

Is there a way a safe technician can open or reset the combo? I tried two of the local locksmith and got nothing..

Sorry, I can't seem to post a picture.

In short, yes it can be drilled. There’s no way to recover the code.

I am not familiar with this particular model but I had experience with Mas Hamilton locks. It is a 6 digit combo. The lock,if similar to the MasHamilton lock that I have had the friction wheel to charge the lock enough to enter the code. I do believe it has a 4 or 5 attempt lockout.

I think you are going to have to have a lot of patience. Check to see if there is a battery terminal point. Mas Hamilton has this feature so you can touch a 9 volt battery to the lock so yo don’t have to power up the lock everytime. I think you need to write out every combination possible and enter it one by one. It will lock out. But you have to set it aside.

Wish I had a passcode of sort but there is none.

A six digit system can have between ~150,000 and 1,000,000 possible code combinations (depending upon how it treats zeros and whether or not repetition is allowed).

That's a lot of patience...

Any chance it is the default passcode?

(sent you an email)

If the safe is open trash the lock and replace it.

I have reprogrammed the audicon II series locks when the combo is lost but I’m not familiar with this one. Have also reprogrammed s&g 6150 and 6300. If you are set on that lock, send it to me and I might be able to reset it. Otherwise I would just get a new lock.

Thanks to all!

The safe is closed,so can't access the inside. I did try the default code, no joy.

nshumway,

Can the front part, with the "charging" knob and keypad be removed from the front? If so, is that where the electronics/code are?
If so, I can remove and send to you for try.

Thanks!

Your only option is to find a tech who can drill the lock. Nothing is stored in the keypad.

Look at electronic locks like a desktop computer. The keypad is just like your keyboard, and the processing equipment is inside the lock body tucked securely within the safe.

Just like you can't recover a computer password by inspecting the keyboard, you can't recover a lock combination by inspecting the keypad. One minor exception. Should the lock have severe wear on the numbers you may be able to put together a list of possibilities.

Thanks all!
I will find someone who can drill it.

I've been there with a stubborn lock before—it's so frustrating when you hit a dead end with attempts. I once had a safe with an electronic lock, and after exhausting all options trying to figure out the code, I had no choice but to get professional help. A local locksmith here in Phoenix ended up drilling the lock carefully to preserve the safe. They replaced it with a more reliable and updated system, which made me feel a lot more secure later.

If you're planning to swap out the lock once it's open, you might want to check out https://libertylocksmith.us/lock-installation/. They offer lock installation and can recommend high-security options that are worth considering for peace of mind.

I had an electronic lock die. A safe specialist recognized the lock and happened to have an identical one on the truck. He removed the lock, connected the cables to the new lock, and the old combo opened the safe. With all the jibber-jabber about electronic locks failing, I was surprised it worked for 23 years.
