How to Unlock Stack-On Safe Without Key or Keypad - Break Into Safe - Design Defect

My Stack On gun safe refused to open. The battery for the keypad died, and I lost the key to open the safe. Although, I was able to open the safe without breaking it. Watch my trick to open the safe. I'll also show you how you can eliminate this safe's defect, preventing others from opening your safe.

Holy crap that worked! I didn’t even know the brand of my safe and didn’t realize the batteries wouldn’t last for a decade and obviously lost the key years ago. I just hit it with my hand and it popped open 😂 thank you!!

Worked!! 5 hits. And as most others, keys inside. To "fix" the issue, I just anchored it to the drywall on a shelf in my closet. No room on top. If someone pulls on it it seems bolted down but I know to just keep pulling until the plastic anchors pop out. Thanks!

Just picked up one of these at an auction for $20 and was labeled as no keys, no code-locked. I could hear stuff inside and could see papers through the rear mount holes which made me think it was all the original paperwork. The sounds I was hearing made me think it was the keys as well. Tried to pick the lock with no luck before I found your video. Maybe a dozen whacks with a mallet and it was open. Keys and all paperwork were inside, no batteries installed. This thing is brand new! Thank you!!

I used the hammer several times exactly as he said, and nothing Suddenly the battery stop completely working it went from a small bip bip, to NONE. I figured with the big smash I gave it I probably got the batteries completely out of the compartment. Guess what? I tried the combination again, cuz I knew my password, and the batteries went back to working enough to open the door. I was so happy. What I did was changed the batteries. The old batteries were rotten with white powder around. I used a toothbrush and clean the residual and made sure the spring was not rotten. so the new batteries are inside, and this video was life saver.

You have no idea how amazing helpful this was!!!! My family and I are headed to Iceland in a few weeks and I just tried to get our passports out and it was dead. I just had a heart attack! Thank you thank you!

Worked for me! And I found the keys inside the safe...

It took me about 40 tries. I started with your method without success, tried 4 other lock picking methods in between, but yours physically felt like the best way to let out my frustrations. On very heavy hit #40 with a rubber mallet, it worked. Honestly, I was shocked as hell. Thanks much!

[outlawamps]

Thanks for that! My lug nut key was inside and I need to do a brake job tomorrow. I tried the paper clip method to no avail, watched your vid and got it open with about a dozen whacks. The key is your timing with the hammer strike... You can't hold pressure on the bolt or the solenoid won't bounce.

So I came across this video today because I have the same safe and the same issue. Needed some documents in there. Tried this method, no dice for me. In fact, I broke a mallet on it! Tried the paperclip trick I saw a video on as well, no luck. What did work, however, was hours of jamming a big screwdriver in there to bend open the door just enough to chisel the inner frame from the front door. Once it was free, I had enough leverage to bend the steel locking bars back enough to get it open. I'm bloody, and bruised, but I got the thing open.

thank you so much, this trick did it .I had my passport in the safe and I had to catch my flight in the evening. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

I saw a few other videos promoting this method. None of them worked until this one. Excellent explanation skills

[Balllsy]

Brilliant, my neighbours nurse knocked me earlier as she couldn't get the meds out of the safe. This method worked perfectly... You might have saved someone's life. Thanks

Hey, you saved me thanks. Looking at how many people commented in the last few months, I get the idea that all the batteries are starting to go that came with it.

[tinacollier]

No matter how many times I hit it or where or how hard, I couldn't get this to work. BUT it did jiggle the batteries enough to give them some juice and I was able to open it with the code. THANK YOU MUCH

[Bogeybreakerz]

Literally just did this right now! Been holding onto this exact safe for 2 years now cause I would mess with it here and there to try and open it but forgot the passcode and locked keys inside! Finally was able to open the safe and retrieve a pocket knife with sentimental value and the damn keys SMH! Thanks for the video brotha!!

[brianoconnell]

I have the flat one with the hinges on the right side that swings from left to right when you open it. I was beginning to think this wouldn't work but after probably 30 or 40 hits. I moved from a rubber mallet to a much heavier sand filled harder plastic mallet but I think it was really hitting it as hard as I could and turning the knob clockwise at the exact same time and it popped open. Thank you for this. Of course the keys and the manual were in there all this time. I thought the plug was a backup power source for the keypad. When really it's just for some plugs inside the safe. Not quite sure what I would need that for. Anyway. After I replaced the batteries it works fine again but now I don't want to use it for my gun... Lol

100% works on mine I done a mistake chunk the key inside and no battery and after this video I hit it and works 👍🏻

[bamabull]

This was awesome. Saved me from having to get a locksmith and I don’t have a rare earth huge magnet that everyone else shows to open one. I do have a mallet and within 3 pops, it was open.

[victoriawhite]

Thank you so much . Worked after 3 hits . I had my pain medication for my back in this safe . You are my hero .

[revolverden]

THANK YOU !You just saved me $20 + shipping for a replacement key that Stack-on said may not be available Took a rubber mallet and on the 5th wack it opened!! Now I am not sure I ant this anymore seeing how it's really not a secure safe at all !
