Scraping is good to me I got this safe door with a Yale lock. I'm looking for the model number contact point information. It seems like 1 contact point I'm not sure but for free I'm really happy for my new find... I could cheat and get the combination while apart but there's no fun in cheating thanks for any help

Could be a 026. It has a friction fence, so there is only one CP. Have fun!

Re: Yale safe lock
Dialin direction is reverse from standard locks, so to open the final turn is left.

Re: Yale safe lock
I'm having a hell of a time looking for the contact point I mean I can not feel a thing going right or left around 0-10
Re: Yale safe lock
Only left. My Mosler is very difficult. Use a contact microphone if you have one.

Re: Yale safe lock
i'm using a stethoscope tape to the door. I really wish I could feel it. I sprayed it with deep penetrating oil then wipe it off now I feel nothing at all. No drag, no catching not even a blip. Just smooth turning back to the grindstone..
Re: Yale safe lock
You should not have cleaned it so soon.

Re: Yale safe lock
Are you saying left cp or turn left and right contact im starting to feel little by little a slight hangup or cp as I just keep spinning and spining

Agreed. Lube reduces friction. And this is a friction fence lock.

Just when you think you've learned it all, that is when you find you haven't learned anything yet.
Re: Yale safe lock
Is there anything I can do like use a hair blower anything to reduce this f-up on lubing it
I took the wheels apart and wiped them dry. of course I have a extra spacer.

Do you have any Brake Clean or similar solvent?

Well, if you leave those parts alone for long enough inside that dark box, they start looking at each other in a different way. 9 months later, they have bred a new spacer.
Wait, you have this thing apart? You can clean out those areas a fair bit easier. I thought you had just doused the edges of the spindle or box edges ultra-liberally and soaked the insides.

Re: Yale safe lock
I'll try the break cleaner even though I wipe the wheels off after that soaking I have it I still can't feel the contact point. Thanks for your advice I think
Re: Yale safe lock
Before I clean it I'm starting to feel a very little contact point at Rc@6 now I feel it and then it seems to vanish the next same rotation I'm reading friction-fence types. I've read it before but now it has more meaning. me-0 safe lock-2
