Comment on Automatically Crack Safes With This Autodialer

Ugh hate those locks. Only one guy could open them, when asked how he would “show” you buy doing it in under a second. Then you ask him again he shugs and says “muscle memory”. Arsehole.
Nobody knew which way to spin it first and the bloody code didn’t work! I swear that code was wrong! Spent hours on that stupid safe. My colleagues spent hours on that stupid safe it doesn’t work! Piece of shit lock.
Honestly greatest thing about leaving that job. Not having to deal with that safe.
We have a safe at work where we keep backups and ‘legal hold’ stuff. We hardly ever need to get into it. The first audit we had after I started and the guy who had been running things walks up to the safe and just opens it… without entering the code. The auditor looks at me, and I look at my employee and ask him if the safe is broken, and he said “No, I put the code in earlier so it would be easier to open for the audit.”
Needless to say, we got dinged on that part of the audit.
Thanks to the Lockpickinglawyer I now have 2 different locks on my door.
Now you can keep out LPL for 30 seconds!
I used to not understand them, but learning how their internal mechanism functions has helped a lot. Now I can just visualize what’s happening inside the infernal contraption

Turn the dial counterclockwise past your first number three times, stopping on it the fourth time. Dial clockwise to the second number three times, dial counterclockwise to the third number twice, turn the dial clockwise until you feel the bolt retract. The latch will engage at about 0 and the dial will turn no farther than 85, probably it will stop at 90. Turn the lock lever to open the door
Skill issue

Wait so. You are supposed to go past the last number until around 85-90? I think it was a 4 digit code as well if I remember right. So I spun it atleast 5 times. Well I spun it whatever direction I started way over what I needed as time went on.
Well yeah obviously. Possibly wrong conbination too. Bit weird that only one person could open it and he wouldn’t tell you how.

So i don’t know which lock you had, the comment I made above describes most of the consumer dial safe locks out there, but not all.
Yours may have been like what I mentioned, and the last number was 90 or something so people would dial it correctly, or it may have been a different design with drop gates where you dial all the numbers and stop on the last number. It may have been a start CW instead of CCW, there’s a few different designs.
Spinning it lots of times at the beginning never hurts, it clears the wheel packs. Thanks for having a sense of humor btw lol
Anyway, yeah, they can be overly complicated and a business should have a keypad safe and good insurance. The tech or manager or whoever that showed you how to unlock the safe was a dick for sure

Man this reminds me of the lockers we had in middle school that used dial locks, cheap masterlock jobbies that despite having notches between the major numbers, just being within 2 of the actual number would register.
Plus it felt like they’d slip internally so if you dialed too quickly (because class starts in 3 minutes at the other end of the building) you’d have to start all over.
