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!

They are cool locks, and can be a bit more difficult to manipulate, at least to my limited experience. Nice find.

Are you planning to manipulate the combo lock? Or is this more of a display piece?
What is the plan for this beauty?
Great find! Congratulations.

Looks really nice. I do not know anything about safes or dials, but it is very pretty.

Are you going to finish the wood on the safe mount, or leave it bare wood? There is also this post on making a safe mount. Gordon
