Can you help me with a Mosler safe?

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!

Can you help me with a Mosler safe?

I'm leaning towards Mosler with a Mosler #17 lock (Yale 029 1/2).

Is it 24, 92, 52? I don't want to say the last number and give the combo away. Very Nice Lock, and Safe door. You may want to practice manipulation, I think? They may have been easier back then. You WILL learn something. If you are going to keep I would take note where you could drill to see Gates and determine combo and maybe where you could drill a hole and knock bolt out if the way, should you forget combo, of if lock sticks or fails. I am not proficient with safes, yet, There are many good Technicians here.

Haha, I see it now :D I was thinking: what does that man mean.....

But it is only the door, showpeace right now. So when I make a new safe to put the door in I’ll change the combination 8)
And yes, I want to learn the technic of the lock and also manipulation.... :wink:
Thanks!
