It is open, but I’m sorry to report I didn’t manipulate it open.
This wall safe belonged to my wife. I was trying to get in because I thought the safe deposit box keys her daughter needed were there.
Her daughter had already requested that the deposit box be drilled open as she didn’t have keys. The bank had to wait 40 day before they’ll do that. So during this wait time I was trying to open the wall safe.
Yesterday, the bank drilled the safe deposit box and we retrieved the wall safe combo. I used that to open the wall safe. The keys were there.
So, this was a tough one, but I am confident that you guys were guiding me in the right direction and we would have got it eventually. Maybe if I hadn’t taken a break the night before they drilled…
If we look at the numbers I was guided to…
I didn’t have W1 and we knew that. So the 80 was still an unknown.
You guys put me right on W2 – 5. Perfect.
Wheel 3 @ 93 was pretty close to the 90.5 I was using. This morning I dialed in 80-5-91 (91 being the number Martin liked better than 90) and the safe opened with some oscillation. So 91 would have been close enough.
As frustrating and tiring as this was I had fun and learned a lot. My first chart posted here had W3 -90R so I was pretty close there.
My second chart had W2 at L6.5. So maybe if I’d converted that to R I would have came up with R5 instead of L6.5 and 90R would have been 93L? Not sure.
For the future, the mystery bump at 19-20 came up on almost every chart. In a few I’ll pop open the lock and see what’s causing that and why the contact area is not where anyone expects it to be. The dial also moves in 3 dimensions so I’ll try to tighten that up.
Also….my wife has another safe. I now have the combo but I have not looked at it…..
