How to Instruction labels for your Dial Combo safe -

Hi,

I just wanted to pass it on and place it here in case anyone finds these safe labels helpful in creating their own to print and clear box tape to the front or side or inside of their mechanical safe.

I spent some time making these labels to place on the front of our mechanical spin Dial 3 number Amsec safe.
Because the staff and even the boss, found it very difficult to open the safe and this caused a real situation. At one point, everyone thought the safe was broke and no one could get into it for a week!

No one had read the owner's manual and the manual was poorly written. I had to do some online research to bring all the needed info into place and then condense it down into these labels to make opening and closing the safe a simple and easy no brainer as possible. I'm very good at this condensing labeling without deleting any of the pertinent info.

Take care:

Don’t dial past a #, slow down, “Sneak Up” on it.

1. When dialing the 2nd or 3rd Secret numbers, you pass where you should stop.
2. You turn the dial in the wrong direction/try to “back up” to a missed/passed #.

Last time I got business cards made I had this printed on the back

Turn Dial ___ ___ Times to number ___
Turn Dial ___ ___ Times to number ___
Turn Dial ___ ___ Times to number ___
Turn Dial ___ ___ Times to number ___

When I change a safe combo it's handy

This is a good idea.

Btw. a friend has made "coins" with his business data as a business card. They are the size of a 1 Euro coin, so they can be used for shopping trolleys which require here a coin so that people return them to the cart depot.

So your friend is a counterfeiter eh?
That's kinda cool but dangerous...

[MartinHewitt]

No, I quoted coins, because people are usually referring to every disk shaped metal object as coin. They actually are business medals without any denomination and similarity to currency other than the size. Medals for shopping carts with advertisement on them are actually quite common here.

Bill can easily go to an ALDI grocery store in Phoenix Arizona and put a quarter in the shopping cart release chain mechanism, then get his quarter back when he returns the cart to the cart corral.



That's the whole point Bill, for people to have incentive to return their carts in an orderly fashion, not to make fake coins to get a free cart.

Maybe I can make a slug on my lathe!

Its a little off topic but I have a 3D printed coin on my keychain for shopping carts, It still forces me to return it after but without the need to always have a $1 coin on hand for the cart.
