Default Mosler safe combination


"Ignoramus3982" wrote in message
...
Won a Mosler combination safe on ebay and am wondering about
something: is it possible to change the combination on such a safe?
This is a safe that opens with a key AND combination dial.

Also, is it wise to take it to a locksmith while it is in my truck?
Just to have it checked etc?

Found this. It's worth a try.....Paul



How to Change the Combination to a Mosler Safe
B. C. Bryant

Instructions
Things You'll Need:
a.. Safe key Current combination to the safe
a.. Step 1:
Locate the change mark. Look for the change mark on the dial ring around 11 o'clock.
b.. Step 2:
Dial the combination that currently opens the Mosler safe on this change mark. Do not return to
"0" on the dial ring. Simply stop on the final number to the current combination.
c.. Step 3:
Locate the flat rod. On the left side of the safe, near the front of the drawer, you will see a
small, flat rod. This rod must be up in order for the handle to raise. Having the flat rod up will
allow you to lock the Mosler safe with the drawer open.
d.. Step 4:
Redial the current combination in the same way described in Step 2.
e.. Step 5:
Insert the key into the back of the lock and turn halfway; that is, turn the key halfway around,
180 degrees. Do not complete the full circle.
f.. Step 6:
Dial the new combination starting at the 11 'o clock mark discussed in Step 1. Be sure to stop on
the last number. Do not use a number less than 20 for the last number.
g.. Step 7:
Turn key back and remove the key from the lock.
