If you have a safe in your home or business, you need to make sure you keep the combination to your safe locked away somewhere. When you buy the safe, it likely comes with a default locking combination. You then change the combination to make sure no one knows it. However, the danger is that no one at all will know it if you forget it. That’s why many people will store their safe combination in a secure location. If you do that, you need to make sure it is stored somewhere safe, you remember where it is stored, and that it is not obviously the combination to the safe. If you’ve forgotten the combination or where you stored it, you need to call a safe locksmith.
