Determine Why the Safe is Jammed 
If your safe is jammed, it is important to figure out why and what is going on. Knowing what is causing the jammed safe can help you to get back into it. Here are some things to check… 
Check the batteries!  
In some cases, you are simply dealing with a dead battery. The solution is simple as long as you know how to swap out the battery.  
Check to see if your safe is in lockout mode.  
Your safe could have gone into lockout mode if you mistakenly entered the wrong combination too many times. This is, of course, a safety feature to make sure people who should not be accessing your safe cannot gain access to it. But if it happens to you and you are the rightful owner of the safe, you might just have to wait a few moments before trying again. This can be dependent on which safe you have.  
 
The wiring might require repair.     
To check to see if the wiring is in need of repair, you will need to be able to remove the safe’s keypad. If you do not know how to do this or do not feel comfortable doing it, it is recommended that you call a locksmith. They will be able to inspect the wires and see if they have come loose or if they are tangled. In some cases the wiring will need to be removed and then connected again.  
 
The bolt work is jammed and needs to be fixed.  
If there is a jam of some kind with the bolt work, there is still a solution. Listen to the sound of the safe when you attempt to open it. Are you able to hear that the motor is running, however, the door does not budge? This could indicate a problem with bolt work. One potential solution is to try tapping on the door of the safe. Just make it a point not to touch the keypad, as this could cause damage. If this does not work, it is a good idea to call a locksmith. (visit website)
