The first wheel is the 2nd to last number in the sequence. <br />It goes as such: Wheel 3 first #, Wheel 2, Second #, Wheel 1 third # and finally a last turn to number that will open safe - usually between 0 and 13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3243568754173675399.post-91699110875038394472018-11-13T11:24:37.646+13:002018-11-13T11:24:37.646+13:00I inherited a safe exactly as show.

I tried to give the safe away here in Palm Springs but neither safe company wanted when I texted them a photo Trying to learn its weight so I can have it move to a scrap yard.

I have an antique safe similar to your pictures. Apparently I have triggered the relocking device. The handle spins, the combination knob seems locked. It has been a reliable safe until recently had to start forcing to open & close. Upon attempting to open, felt click and handle now spins 360. Turning it upside down didn't work either.<br />Am I farting in the wind or is there a feasible way to get back into my safe?

I was giving a safe similar to the one shown above with the same locking mechanism. The origanal owner didnt remember the combination but it was open. They was just goin to toss it, im fix it kinda guy and looked like a good safe. Didnt think it would be to difficult to reset the combo or figure out the old one after getting into the lock. Long story short i arranged all 3 pins in the wheel pack to set a new combo and right down the origanal locations. Before doing anything i did a little research on the web and i later realized after moving the pins that the page had been describing a differant style lock altogether. For the life of me i couldnt recall what numbers the pins were on. I know theres still has to be a way of determining where the pins should be. I hope you can possibly shed some light on this for me<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071764253935433327noreply@blogger.com
