1880's Herring-Hall-Marvin Inner Door Lock

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!

We purchased this at an auction, have a locksmith that has opened the outer door, there is an inner door with another combo lock. Does anyone know which way the wheels are set as the locksmith does not want to drill incorrectly. Thank you!

Some photos would probably help here so we can give you accurate advice. Please upload them to your facebook/twitter/photbucket/flickr/imgur/google drive/dropbox and share the link here so we can see both the outside of the safe and the inside.

Is this locksmith a SAVTA or NSO safe technician or just random locksmith? Not all locksmiths are safe trained, some are decent with safe work, but some are just cowboys with cordless drills.


Thanks,

We will get some pictures. Yes, he is a safe technician, an older one, but more than just a locksmith. We are going to look at it again tomorrow as there was some water damage and not sure the extent on the inner door.
