If Liberty or any other safe company did a "We will not comply", do you thing Dot.Gov would look at your safe and say, "well, I guess we won't open it?"

Know a locksmith that used to drill into safes for police serving search warrants.  Really doesn’t take long to do but the safe can get destroyed.  Actually kind of considerate of them to just use the combination.

He used to hate it when he’d arrive on scene and the cops would loudly proclaim to everyone “Here’s the locksmith to open the safe” while the perps are handcuffed sitting in the front lawn glaring at him.

 If it uses a S&G combo lock, just change the combo when you get it.  That will slow them down,  but any lock can be defeated given enough time.

Not the same at all.


The FBI was demanding apple to assist in breaking into an iphone, they didn't have codes for, NOT simply unlocking it.  They were essentially asking apple to degrade security on ALL iPhones in the future, and using this as politically charged excuse to force it.

The FBI had physical access to the phone and could get the data anytime they wanted.  Apple was aware and thus rightly surmised their actual goal was forcing Apple to bake in degraded security.



Also worthy of note,... this wasn't long after similar intentional vulnerabilities baked into MS products caused the loss of tens of billions of dollars worldwide in lost/corrupted data and blackmail schemes.

The only way this would be slightly plausible is if the safe had a spin dial lock as I bet most of those keep the combination they were shipped with especially if they were the original owners.  

How risky would it be for every liberty safe with an electronic lock to have a “back door” code that would access to said safe.  That could be some highly valuable information for some hacker groups to get their hands on.

I’d be far more concerned with the idea that there is a “back door” at all, than the fact that a company complied with a subpoena.

And yes, I understand there are lots of ways to non-permissively get into a RSC even without that.

Of all those things I'm most troubled by them cutting his internet/security cameras.  Likely they could've gotten a subpoena for the safe combo from Liberty so at least that had to go through a judge for that (albeit liberal J6 judge).

Not liberty.  They come with a combo, and it's attached by sticker to the manual.

If there's a way to change it without hiring expert help IDK how.

Because reporting is always 100% accurate. It doesn't look good for liberty safes regardless but I'm going to need a few more sources/explanation. Also don't you think the feds could open a safe without the combo?

It doesn't even take that.  Regular battery powered stuff would do it.  And that's if you don't know what you are doing.  A knowledgeable safe tech would be in it faster than LE would hear an initial response regarding the warrant/subpoena stuff with Liberty, and do so carefully enough that the thing could be restored to use without too much more work.

With the electronic keypads Liberty has a master reset code, which will unlock the safe regardless of what you change your code to.

How did Liberty Safe have the code to his safe? Do they have a backdoor code or some shit for all their safes. I'm ignorant on that matter.

My safe was made in 1968, and I reset the combo myself, so zero chance you’re getting inside via a manufacturer supplied combo, so might as well bring cutting tools…

I hear some people store their bulk gunpowder in their safes as it’s fire resistant.

There's no comparison there.

The feds didn't ask Liberty to break into the safe.  They would have had a warrant for information they may have had - the combination of the safe when it was shipped.  

In the case of Apple, Apple doesn't have your passcode.  The feds can present a warrant for it, but Apple doesn't have it.  The feds could then demand that Apple break into the phone with brute force or a backdoor, or whatever.  And I think most of those demands would fail to pass muster in courts.

And, it doesn't even matter, because LE can be inside a Liberty safe in five minutes.  "Oh, no, Bob!  A Liberty safe!  What are we going to do?"

When you buy a safe does it have the combo in the owners manual?

If so the company has that info to cross refference with the name & serial #.

Of course if you paid cash and didn't fill out the warranty card or bought 2nd hand it reduces the chance of a friendly hand over.

I  changed my combo the very next day ( as soon as I could get a guy out there)

So no they don't have my current combo just the one that was listed in the manual.

You act like you're going to stop them from getting into your safe lol.

They'll either get the combo or they'll call someone to destroy it getting inside.

Safes are to keep people out for a short time, if you want something to be not found then you better hide it underground or someplace amazing.

Do you think Liberty is going to go to court and fight the feds only to lose? They're a business, and losing money in a case that will be lost in minutes would be idiotic.
