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!

I've got two round Amsec lift-out safe doors, for small in-floor safes. Both units are missing the removable dials. Where is a good place to get replacement dials? Safeandlockstore.com has some for $50, but I'm open to other ideas. Joe

BilldHills,
Thanks for the website. The dial there is listed as "special order." I called to order, and they said it wasn't in stock, but they would call their supplier and get back to me.
I haven't heard back, so I suspect the listing is outdated. Happens often. I heard the dials haven't been in production for a while.
I'll get the used $50 dials.
Joe

Billdeserthills, Early this morning www.LocksCo.com called me back! They couldn't get the dials from their supplier, but they did find one leftover "in the back." They said their online payment system isn't working, so I gave them my ccard info over the phone. Yesterday I tried to form an account with them online, but it never went through. So their shop is technologically impaired.

Billdeserthills, I was lucky. I checked Amsec and MBA, and these removable dials aren't to be found, seem to be out of production. Evilbay had just one, for $65 + shipping. I didn't want to go that route, and it quickly sold to an unknown party. I'm guessing the removable nature of the dial means they often get lost or separated from the locking door. Joe

I had no idea these dials were disappearing and with the push & turn action, star safe owners need one to open their safe Here's one for $50, it's used https://safeandlockstore.com/cart.php

I ordered from there as well, since I've got two of these lids that need a dial. I though about converting a conventional dial; turning the spindle down, and adding a second stud, but finding these made it the easier option.
