One of the locking mechanisms wouldn’t retract and so the safe stayed stubbornly shut.&lt;p&gt;I clicked randomly around in the linked livestream from November and came across what seems to be them having problems with Safe 2. I&amp;#x27;m amazed this is streamed and they are actively showing the written pads towards the camera.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;erfsFJsapAs?t=680&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;erfsFJsapAs?t=680&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
