sargeant and greenleaf old lock need help> Anyone?

Postby theclaw » 27 Oct 2011 23:28

Have a fireproof file cabinet passed down from family and I do not know how to open. It is a Sargent and Greenleaf combination lock. Can anyone help?

My internet searching tells me it is probably a 4 wheel, but I am not sure... as I am not familiar with locksmithing. The local locksmith said he wouldn't even want to attempt it.. looking for someone who would like to try!

Any help or point in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated. Who knows their stuff and can help out?!

Thanks so much!

@theclaw:

Sadly that type of lock is considered advanced materials...

Other than helping you figure out the dialing order of the combination it can not be discussed in the open section of the forum...

Call a local locksmith that advertises servicing safes...
