Hello all,
I am fairly certain this is not the proper place for this post, so forgive my intrusion, but I am hoping someone here can direct me to a useful resource.
Below you’ll find images of my grandfather’s safe which recently stopped opening. The dial has been sticky from lack of use in my garage so when I opened it last week to place some documents inside, I took the opportunity to lubricate the mechanism with some WD-40 - Since then, I have only succeeded in opening it once in perhaps one hundred attempts. The dial is still not moving smoothly. I have been opening this safe since I was 10 years old, so I am certain I have the combination correct.
The combination is one of those turn to ## 5 times to the right, ## 4 times to the left, ## 3 times to the right… so on and so on.
Anyone have any experience here, I would hate to have to have it drilled, but I am at my wits end!
I will welcome any and all suggestions
Thank you for your time.
