How to Open a Locked Wall Safe

If you have valuable items, such as family heirlooms, jewelry or gold coins, or important documents, such as a secret family recipe for cookies, confidential business memos, or a passport, you might want to protect them from thieves by locking them in a wall safe. One advantage of a wall safe is that besides remaining locked to anyone who doesn't know the combination, you can hide it behind a painting, or install it in the back of a closet, making it all the more difficult for criminals to find.
