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!

If you are a guest of the forum and have a safe you need to open, but you do not have the combination, we cannot tell you how or where to drill it.
So I'm looking at picking up this 1960 Mosler round-door safe, but what is the deal with this? Someone welded this extra piece onto the locking bolt. BTW there is no cover plate. https://ibb.co/3c5bjHy [urll]https://i.ibb.co/kXVTwFg/IMG-20230721-192317.jpg[/url]
Looks like they had a time lock mounted at one point in time to those threaded screws on the left, and if the time lock was not wound down, the bar that has been welded on would not be allowed to move Left, thus also stopping the combination lock from retracting the bolt even if you dialed the correct combination. Def looks like some home brew shenanigans, so you can just remove that bar.
