People are freakin' nutz.

Locksmith. That's what I'd do.

When my grandmother died she left a safe deposit box. Of course my Mom and My Aunt couldn't find the key (no fighting over the contents or anything). The day before they were going to have the bank drill it open my Aunt noticed a key on a keychain that had been on the bulletin board by her phone. It was the key. Had been hanging there for like two years.

Were they going to charge to drill the safe? If so, do you know how much? (I am just curious - I am sure that this happens a lot at banks).

I'd try checking with the manufacturer as well. Maybe the combination was never changed from the default it was shipped with?

Good thinking, katiesue!
