Got a safe to crack!

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Looks to me like the combination is written down backwards.
Try turning the opposite way using the same numbers and number of turns.
Many people do this to foil someone who finds the paper and tries to open it ,
then they forget or the safe changes hands and no one can open it.
