timed lock box - Need to get it open!

I have a vaydeer timed lock box and I've flipped it over and tried getting into it with a knife which then broke. I've also tried a drill. The box is thick hard plastic. I'm never going to use such a box again. How can I get it open without paying $20. i'm in the Uk but it's the same thing.

No idea im afraid, but im intrigued as to what it is you need that you either cant wait out the timer, or pay the $20 for.

What on earth is in it? What’s going to happen if you don’t get it out?

Shamelessly watching..

@SunnyGreenBird how did this happen? Did you set the timer for longer than you wanted or has the box failed?

Reviews on Amazon might be your best bet if you haven't already tried them. I'm not sure what model you have. I clicked on one model at random and in the first few reviews, one reviewer said they could break into the lock with a screwdriver in 2 mins, and another that there were big holes and they managed to extract their item through one of them with a screwdriver.

I don't understand how anyone would get into it with a screw driver. the only hole was for a charger. In the end I used the drill at a high setting, melting the plastic. I have binned the box. I am never using one again.

I wasn't suggesting you attack it with a screwdriver, I was suggesting Amazon reviews of the particular model might be more helpful than asking us lot without even telling us what the model was. Glad you have solved it

The website says you can get one code for free?

With that level of urgency I imagine she was in Saw XI.

Wow! Most non-event / pointless yet irritatingly intriguing thread ever!
