Open An Amsec Dial Lock

Open an Amsec Dial Lock


Since the late 1940s, American Security Products Company (AMSEC) has designed and manufactured a wide variety of safes for homes and businesses--from wall and floor safes to fire and gun safes. AMSEC safes feature combination dial, key supported dial and/or electronic locking systems. Like padlocks, the key to opening an AMSEC dial lock and the safe it helps to protect is knowing the safe's unique combination and the correct dialing direction sequence for the type of lock or safe. AMSEC has two primary dialing sequences that vary by lock type and safe model. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions

1. Position yourself directly in front of the dial on your AMSEC safe.


2. Turn the dial left counterclockwise until the first number of your combination rests below the opening index--the mark located top center above the dial in the 12 o'clock position. Continue dialing left until the first number has rested below the mark a total of four times. Stop turning.


3. Switch directions and turn the dial right clockwise until the second number rests below the mark. Continue dialing right until the number has rested below the mark a total of three times. Stop turning.


4. Move the dial left again until the third number rests below the mark and then continue dialing until the third number as rested a second time below the mark. Stop turning.
