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. "Strange days have found us, strange days have tracked us down." JM | ||

In short, yes it can be drilled. There’s no way to recover the code. RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | |||

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. | |||

Oh stewardess, I speak jive. |
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! "Strange days have found us, strange days have tracked us down." JM | |||

Your only option is to find a tech who can drill the lock. Nothing is stored in the keypad. RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | |||

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. | |||
