The grin on your face when the wheel turn goes clunk is priceless after all the safes you have opened! I do have a request for some assistance with a lost code I have been working on if I can email you?
Great video as always, can I ask where could I get one of those (Digital Dial Magnifier) I think it's great better then trying to see the change by just watching the dial. thank you
The Money Exchange model is a direct entry lock, once you find the true driver gate it speeds things up! only 2 wheels and a driver. the POE method works well with these too.
Although I don't yet grasp the finer points of your manipulations about direct-action, it's quite fascinating to watch you work on that safe, going in blind to boot, as you explain your process and mental image of the lock. Thank you! Is it standard in the industry to have such a seemingly large +1/-1 (two-ticks wide) tolerance? What's the most top o' the line or recent safe you've opened using such methods? Curious mind inquiring.
I purchased an old safe and was told it worked. The seller removed the safe from the building and had dropped the safe on its side and it was laying on its back when I arrived. It did not appear to hurt anything at the time and I took it anyways. Once I got it home I realized The lower dial sticks when turning left between 3 and 4. You can turn it to the right and it does not catch on anything. The upper dial seems to work fine. I have the combination they gave me not sure if it's right. How would i go about getting it open.
I have the same exact safe. My grandmother collected coins for years and no one knew. I was given most of them but theres still the small safe and no one knows the combo. It wasnt too heavy for me to carry inside so not sure whats in it but i want to open it asap to see what may be in it to go with the sets i already have. As Im selling some of the collection to help my mother
Does a direct-entry safe combo dial differently than a typical safe, such as a S&G group 2? I just don't understand why you were able to dial all the wheels right to 98 and then go immediately to 15 without having to pass 98.
Yes. Dirct entry is very different. They ate like onlynhaving the gate.wheel ans two combo.wheels. you set the combo wheels and then turn th3 gat3 wheel to the right number.
I love your DDM. Did you make the 4 digit counter yourself? Or did you buy it from a company? If you bought it, Model? Mfr? Looks like you are out of stock on Amazon. Decades ago, when I was learning manipulation, I tried to invent something similar...years before optical encoders. I failed. It is so nice to see that you succeeded. Wonderful project.
Can you share where you buy the display unit? Or is that a trade secret? If it is a secret, do you sell them? When I saw your Device, I knew that I had to make one, even though I am long retired. I told my wife that I was going to buy a safe just to try it out when I build it.
I have this same safe. What is the combination to unlock if you have the 3digit code! I have this safe but cant figure out how to unlock. Do i start counter clockwise or clockwise and so on. This would help me greatly. I don’t have the instruction or manual but if you have a manual in pdf on how to unlock or where to find one online that would be great too!
Thanks for the video 😎 just starting to research lock manipulation so great to see and hear your process 👍
It was a very enjoyable and successful video, educational for beginners.
That was a fantastic video and nicely done - thank you 👏

Happy to help u get it open...
I have this safe also. It was my Dads. Need help :(
So what is the digital indicator you are using? That looks like a fun tool to play with lol
Thats a DDM. Avail on amazon. Or email me. Contact@scobieworks.com
Are you available for DM questions regarding this particular lock?
Of course. Email me. Contact@scobieworks.com
Hi how would you know if a safe is a gate drop vs a direct gate?
Turn the handle ans see if it locks the dial. If it locks, its a direct gate. If it doesnt or there is no handle, its a gate drop
Open the door
Great video, but it got really confusing when the main cam and the dial cam got out of sync.
Have a great day
How do you attach to dial or handle?
Spacial double sided tape. Worka hreat and doesnt leave any residue or damage
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was really enjoying this until the cameras got out of sync. Still enjoying it, but I can't follow what you're actually doing anymore. 😢
Yes. We upgraded cameras so it won't happen again. And working on new tutorials
