FICHET LOCKS

[Eldoc]

Have anyone some information about an old safe box of Fichet, with original locks (key and combination lock in the same site)? I have the key, not the combination number, but I need the manual of use to try to manipolate it.
Or I have to drill it..

Thanks

Thanks for your very useful information. The key I have is quite different, probably an older type than that one of the picture.
I have to get and to send a pic of key and safe box.

Best regards

You have the key, so there are how many wheels (dials)? On Fichet "clicker" safes, there were usually alphabetic dials, so 26 positions on each one. If you have a 3-dial lock, you only have to try 17,576 combinations. That shouldn't take too long!
