I'll be completely honest here, all the while I'm trying to turn the dial, my lovely mother in law blurting out numbers and things to try. Bless her loud little heart.
I need the model number first I think. Also have some strange keys in the bag with these combos. Makes me wonder what they are.
The trouble with safes is that either they dont have official model numbers and are sold by size, or they are from 1890 and never had a model number or even if you know it's a model A Mosler or a model b Mosler, who knows what that even means since the company is well out of business.
You'll find a lot of safe catalogs will show a stock photo of a safe or 3 and they all look the same, the only difference is height or width. you may be able to get one that is 12x12 inch, 24x24 inch or 24x36 inch, and so on, depending on if you need to store cash, guns, rifles, etc. Some will have the model number include the size so like a FS2040 will be a Fire Safe 20inch x 40 inch, each company does it differently. Here is an example, see chart at the bottom:
https://www.gardall.com/view-product/fi ... -gun-safeswhen you call Sun, just tell them how tall and wide it is and maybe even give them the combinations your relative thinks they are and see if Sun is willing to say that one of the sets of numbers is the right combo.
They of course may not want to help a random person calling them, who knows if you are your aunts meth addicted nephew just trying to get into their gun cabinet so you can pawn their guns and score some more drugs. The safe companies will however give the combo to a locksmith or safe technician who calls them because that person is someone they consider trusted.
if you can throw it in a pick up truck and take it to their factory, and there is a serial number on it, then that might go a long ways in them helping you.
good luck and let us know how you make out
