In real life, cracking a safe is often referred to as "cracking the safe" or "technical lock picking," and the process is often much more complicated and time-consuming than what is portrayed in movies. Here are some common methods and techniques that professionals may use to crack or open a safe: 1. **Know the type of safe**: Different safes have different locking mechanisms, including mechanical combination locks, electronic locks, fingerprint locks, etc. Knowing the type of safe and the specific model can help determine the most effective cracking method. 2. **Listening method**: For mechanical combination locks, technicians may use a stethoscope or special tools to listen carefully to the sound of the lock bolt moving to detect the correct combination. This requires skilled skills and rich experience. 3. **Detection method**: Use a fiber optic camera or other detection equipment to observe the internal structure through the keyhole or other opening of the safe to help unlock it. 4. **Tool-breaking**: This is a last resort and involves using strong tools such as drills, cutting tools or crowbars to break the locking mechanism to force the safe open. This method usually causes permanent damage to the safe. 5. **Electromagnetic cracking**: For some electronic locks, electromagnetic pulses or other electronic means may be used to try to disrupt the circuitry of the electronic lock to open the safe. 6. **Software and Hardware Tricks**: With modern electronic safes, it is sometimes possible to try to exploit software vulnerabilities or hardware interfaces to open the lock through programming tricks and technical means. It should be emphasized that it is illegal to crack someone else's safe without authorization. Only with legal authorization or in emergency situations, such as losing keys or combination codes, should you contact a professional locksmith service to help solve the problem.
