Before asking for assistance dealing with safes and vaults on
ClearStar you need to do some preparation. The better you
prepare the better your fellow ClearStar members will be willing
and able to help you. On the other hand, if you don't prepare then don't be surprised if you receive no responses or even worse, sarcastic responses. It is the job of no one to help you. Any help you receive is entirely voluntary - fellow members helping each other. And if you do receive help please don't forget to...
OK - What Does it Mean to be Prepared? |
1st and most importantly... |
You need to search the ClearStar
Archives to see if what you need help with has already been
discussed. Since the archives span over 20 years of ClearStar
activity it's very likely it has. After reviewing the archives your post will need to
include sufficient detail so that your fellow members are best
able to help you....

2nd and equally important... |
Include good photos of the lock or container you are
seeking help with. This is crucial for helping those members who
are trying to help you. You may upload photos or diagrams to
ClearStar by clicking the "Upload" button
Once you have photos in your ClearStar upload space you
can always access them at the link called "Directory
of Your Files". |
