Easy recovery of the code on the Kidde KeySafe lock box.

I am a licensed locksmith and I encounter these often. Many times the customer forgot the combination. Now instead of having to destroy the box to get the key I can use this trick. I actually had a few laying around in my shop with no known combo and I was able to open them using this trick. Worked perfectly. Thank you!

The words you used to explain the pressure feedback on the opener slide solved this for me!!! All of the buttons were "tight" but not all of them would push back on the slider when tight.!! Thank you!

Have the exact lock in video. I could not feel jackall pushing the buttons. I read the comments and saw people posting using wd40 on the buttons and they started feeling the push back from the buttons. I can confirm 100% success after working break free oil through the buttons. I let it sit for a few days button side up and was able to get the code. To be clear, I 100% could not feel anything until using the oil.

Have a supra key safe on wall outside. I bought my house back in 2011 and every time I cut the front lawn I looked at the darn thing and 10 years on I was sick of not knowing the code. Watched your video and set to it. At first o was wondering if I was pushing a little to hard as they were all sort of popping in to a certain degree but the one and zero felt different so kept them numbers to hand. Then I thought about the really old people I bought the house off and it belonged to there parent so they must have been ancient haha. After all them thoughts and a little practice I cracked it. 1902 and it had a front door let inside that fitted. Thanks for the tutorial mate. Ten years in and in ten mins it was defeated haha

I’ve followed the instructions carefully and it doesn’t work for me. I feel zero difference when I press on the correct combo buttons. I believe it works for that model but possibly not every Kidde lockbox. Mine is white, not gray, in case that matters, so it could be particular to a certain model. I’m still going to look for a more secure box though because sooner or later there will be a video on how to unlock the one I have.

Hi BN-DIY, Thanks for your informative video. I have the same lockbox mounted on a wall in a house for which I am caretaker. The owners didn't even know it was there, so don't know the combination. I tried your process to figure out the combination. I found that pressing each of the number buttons caused pressure/resistance on the latch button. Am I pressing the buttons too hard? I did try "all buttons" as the combination and it did not open. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you
