1. right left right
2. It's usually right, left, right.
3. doesn't matter, try one way then the other you'll get it
4. Should be right left right.......if all else fails...Dynamite?
5. A dial safe will always turn " first digit left, second digit right, and third digit left." If you do not know which number goes first then try each of them in each position until you arrive at the correct combination. A - B - C A - C - B B - A - C B - C - A C - A - B C - B - A
6. If it is a standard safe combination lock this should be right. Left 4 turns Right 3 turns left 2 turns If it is a simple safe combination lock it should be. Left 3 turns Right 2 turns Left 1 turn Let me know if this doesn't work. We will get it right!
7. Clear the dial by spinning it a few revolutions. Then--- Clockwise to the first number. Next, turning counterclockwise, pass second number once and stop on the number when you come to it again. Then clockwise to the third number. Open
8. It it is a spring fence lock, do it like this: Turn the dial to the LEFT (counter-clockwise); stopping the 4th time, your First number aligns with the index. Turn the dial to the RIGHT (clockwise), stopping the 3rd time your SECOND number aligns with the index. Turn the dial to the LEFT, stopping the 2nd time your THIRD number aligns with the index. Turn the dial to the RIGHT until it STOPS, and will turn no more. Throw bolt handle, the safe is unlocked. If, as probable, it is a direct entry lock, the direction of the first turn could be either direction. Try it both ways, stopping on the last number, then try to turn the handle. Be persistant. As long as you have the numbers, you'll get in.
