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!
Forum rules You are posting this in This Old Safe, a public area of the forum.
Safe manipulation discussion is allowed, but safe drilling or other destructive entry is only allowed in the Advanced - Safes and Safe Locks area.
If you are a guest of the forum and have a safe you need to open, but you do not have the combination, we cannot tell you how or where to drill it.
I will look around for you.. that knurled knob screams home made.. is that a split washer under that screw? Some sort of spare parts express or custom job?
The wheels in the lock look just like the Mosler B103 with the tab change and numbered outer ring. Note that you cant set the wheel on every number due to the tab. The lock body is more modern dimension than the B103 and would match more with todays foot print.
The dial would have had a screw on cookie with the name plate on it.
I do have this strange lock now. I wonder if the wheels are the original wheels. Because of the size of the drive cam, the original wheels must have been hand change some how. (No space for a change key to reach the wheels and also no hole for the change key tip in the case.) Because the cam is at the cover side it really makes sense to have numbers on the wheels as it is very difficult to see if the gates are positioned correctly. But the numbers stamped on the wheels have nothing to do with the actual combination.
