The user would select numbers, the technician or salesperson would set them, instruct the user on dialing procedure, then watch the user work the lock to be sure the numbers worked for the user. The understanding was that when a safe was sold, it would be reset to a new combination of the owner's choosing.
In the US the most commonly-used shipping/storage combination is 50-25-50. The way I was schooled in this industry, safes would be shipped from the factory with combinations set to a single number (usually 50), or set to what is generally known as a "shipping and storage" combination. When you're dealing with a locked safe with a lost/unknown combination, being able to have the numbers looked up is (usually) easier on the wallet. One thing I do know: Nobody, neither safe dealer nor safe user, wants to pay to have a safe opened. Unless a safe owner has a specific arrangement with the safe dealer or service company, dealers and service companies don't as a rule record customers' safe combinations I don't know if they do this for end users who might one day lose their combinations, or for protection against claims by safe dealers who call and say a safe arrived from the factory but the combination for it was missing or inoperable. Some (not all) safe makers set combinations at the factory and record the numbers, usually referencing them by safe serial number. mechanical.ĭepending on the lock, a mechanical dial can be numbered from 1-50, 1-70, 20-100, or 1-100. I just went through hell on the telephone yesterday with a lady who could not comprehend the concept of push-button electronic safe locks vs. (That is, a numbered dial that must be turned a varying number of times in alternating directions to open the lock.) Forgive me if I over-explain this. It all depends on the safe make, the safe maker's policy around this sort of thing, and the lock installed on the safe. Sometimes there is a combination that might be usable. The answer is yes for some safes, no for others. Lots of people whose safe combinations are lost/unknown ask me if there is some "master override" combination, or some "reset code" that either I or they can enter, open their safe, and return it to service.
