    Safe Combination Sequence

    I have a safe and I know its three numbered combination.

    It has a keyed lock that stops the dial from turning and I have relied on that as a locking mechanism for about five years now, never needing the combination.

    I have several large, heavy duty safes such as this one. They all have combinations that require you to spin the dials a number of times when doing the combination. For example, one is five times around to the left, four times around to the right, and then two to the left.

    So the problem is.... I forgot what the number or sequence the safe in question requires.

    Are there "standard" spin sequences for safes?

    I can close it and experiment, but I'd like to have some idea of what I'm about to do!

    Any thoughts?

    You could write or call the manufacturer with the model number they should be able to tell you. On my liberty it's min 4 to the left past the first number. Right stop on the second number on the third pass. Left stop on the last number on the second pass. Then left till it stops.. Then open the safe.

    Is it a sargent and greenleaf? The specific make of the combo is important.

    When I have issues I ask my Wife to open it - she has no problems!

    You can lock it with the door open, once you have the correct sequence and practice.

    I just assumed it was as many numbers as there was in the combination.

    4× for four numbers: 3× for three numbers, minimums.

    That's how mine are anyways.

    The safe is deep in the woods in Arenac county, so I'll have to wait to see the mfg. until I get up there again.
    It's very old (and very heavy) and I'm not even sure that the mfg is still doing business.

    Doing the open door thing is a good idea. I really want to get up there and feed some deer, so I expect I'll have more to report within the next week.

    Be careful what you say. About five miles from there a guy had his safe cut open on him and they used his own torches.

    My safe's combo goes all in the same direction…

    left three (or more) times to 1
    then left two times to 2
    finally, left one time to 3

    I've gotten pretty good at it…I can almost open it with my eyes closed!
