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?

First and foremost. If is is open don't close or lock until the
combination thing is well in hand. Second - All the details needed are
online. The combination lock is probably a Sargent & Greenleaf. If it
is Mosler it is probably an elderly combination lock.

Remove the inner panel of the door that the combination lock is on,
remove the combination lock and take it to a GOOD safe place and have
it serviced.

Unload the safe after removing the combination lock and put it
wherever. The mechanical work to service the safe minus the
combination lock is not that difficult.

While looking things over keep ypour eyes open for the serial number.
I have a 50 year old Mosler that took a while to find the brass tag
that was the serial number. The number was not on the handle as
several indicated.

More later after I read the 20 some replies you have.
