Default poxy cheap safe!

mate has a digital safe he bought from homebase a couple of years back
the key pad still works but doesnt accept the pin number anymore
obviously these safes have overide keys but dont help when youve lost them too!
any ideas? anglegrinder or drill the hell out of the key hole or something?!
can see why it only cost £25 now

depends on the safe

the cheap ones are easy, you need to get access to the wire for the motor, some are real easy the emergency key hole open is behind a scew in panel, you can use a tool to pry int here and hookt he wire out put a batter on it and it opens only takes a couple mins

others you will have to drill an get in there and fish round for the wire.
