If the robot was able to try every possible combination, why would there not be a 100% chance of success?

- usrusr 7y agoThe lock might be broken? Gummed up lubricants come to mind. No idea if that's a common problem with safes, but it's pretty clear that a safe would not have any outside maintenance access to fix a problem like that (other than drilling it open, which seems to be routine enough given the "yeah, we can make it usable again" offer)
- jandrese 7y agoThe dial spins but the locking mechanism is rusted so you can't tell when you've hit the correct combo.

- dmurray 7y agoThey may not know how much the slop is, or the exact procedure to open it if you do know the combination (turn left X times, then turn right Y times...). Though you'd expect a locksmith with access to a safe-cracking robot would also have access to documentation showing that. Or as others said, the lock mechanism could be faulty or seized.
