Question
have the #'s - do not remember the sequence of turns to open it. my arthritic fingers are so weary of trying. can you help. right - left? how many times past each #? thank you in advance.
I am just learning about safes and have limited information for you,but I will try to help you.
Depending on the number in the combination-3 or 4 numbers;follow the instructions below for a given example combination of 12-25-50:You will of course need to fill in your own numbers.
1.The dial reads 0-100-turn the dial four times to the left to clear out any previously dialed numbers,stopping on 12.
2.Turn it three times to the right stopping at 25,then to 25 again and finally stop on 25 the third time the dial comes around.
3.Turn the dial to the left to 50,then stop the next time 50 reaches your opening mark-(Usually between 0-10) wherever it is normally on your safe.
Hope this helps;these are generic safe opening instructions made on an example safe lock of three wheels; and three numbers in the combination-and a dial that goes to 100.
