Old Safe, May Have Combo

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!

Old Safe, May Have Combo

Postby spagettsauce » 25 Aug 2016 16:59

Hello,

Just bought a house and found an old safe under one of the closet floors. Looks like there may be a combo taped to it, but not sure how to dial it in correctly (direction, times to pass numbers, when to stop, etc.). Any tips would be helpful!

Thanks in advance.

Here's a picture:

This may help you:

"left 4 turns, right 3 turns, left 2 turns, right to open"

Taken from this page:

I moved into my current place and also found a safe, its very exciting!! Mine was already open though.

Hope the instructions in that link help,

Great thanks - I'll check it out. Also, there isn't really a stopping point marked on where to stop for each number. Would you think it's just the top directly above the sentry sticker?

It's on there, but you'll have to remove some paint to see it better. In your picture it's at the #8.
