+1 on calling a locksmith. The guy we use for our range locks and member keys says those electronic locks are his job security! I had asked him if I could change my dial lock to electronic and that was his answer. He can get them open, maybe he uses the rare earth magnet process from jmm03. He can also replace them with mechanical. I'm sure these aren't rare skills and you can find them near you. Even if the safe is 13 years old, I'd fix what you have and not destroy it and buy another. It can be a pain moving those things. A buddy of mine is moving to Idaho and we just moved his three safes down a bunch of stairs into his garage. PITA.
