Youre the most legit safecracker on CZcams. You have mastered the craft!

[@safecrackerbot9742]

Thank you!

Old stock certificates may still have value. The first step is to check if the company listed still exists, or changed names, or merged with another company. There are websites that can track the current value of old stocks. You should check the securities exchange site for the country you're in. Even if the company doesn't exist the stock can have value based from the art, engravings, or history of the company...

Hey brother if you find out anything on them if some are still good or if they are worth anything can you please let us know in another video?? I think they are really cool myself and the old man had to get them from somewhere. Love the videos and the excitement on weather you find anything or not. God bless you and your family my friend.

Just getting into safe cracking, have the Sparrows trainer Vault. Not the biggest fan of the dial though, its so clunky that theres so much bumpy feedback at every turn and its just making it more frustrating to find contact points and other crucial feels. Is there an entry (but quality) level lock you can recommend. Also this might be a dumb question but how do you tell which way to clear a lock at the start. Just which direction picks up the wheel first or professional knowledge of safes and what brands usually go with. Been binging videos and some clear clockwise and some counter etc. Been a hobbiest picker for alittle over a decade, topping out around bilocks, MulTLock and some older Abloy DD and some pretty mean 7+ pin locks. Work with police on property seizures/searches and occasional wellness checks. Not technically a locksmith because my state doesnt require you to have a license, will get it eventually. Safes always intimidated me but thought id atleast give it a try than always wonder, and obviously would be more helpful when running into keyless safes while working lol.

Welcome to the club. For your question, most all of the gate drop type will be CCW to pickup the first wheel. But some are CW (the Jewelrys safe). It just takes time to feel. And sometimes, just dumb luck...

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company was better known as A&P grocery stores.
