In most cases, you should be able to open your safe without professional help. However, if the problem is more serious (such as a broken mechanical linkage or re-locker), it's best to seek assistance from a locksmith.

Before attempting to open the safe, try relieving pressure on the bolt work by gently pulling on the handle. Also, check for any loose screws in the handle that may be preventing the safe from opening.
