Need help with identifying safe

[Tchapman]

I see you have only done some comb changes on safes. If your goal is to get it open and still be able to use it, I would highly recommend hiring someone with the knowledge and proper drill and scope equipment to open it for you, even if they are a couple hours away. Parts are difficult to find. It is easy to ruin the lock, and still not have the safe open. The advantage is that you will learn something by watching. Doug

We have the combination and some direction the deceased man had written out but several of us have followed them explicitly and still no luck. I was trying to identify the name of the safe and then get directions on how to dial the combination to make sure we are turning it the right direction and number of times. It says turn left several times then right passing the first number three times stopping on the forth, then left passing the second number twice stopping on the third, then right passing the third number once and stopping on the second, then left till we hear a click around 8 then right till it stops and turn the handle clockwise. Never hear a click and dial never stops. Any suggestions?

The usual lock in that safe is a 4 wheel lock, that if set on 4 different numbers, the dialing sequence is 5L-4R-3L-2R-1L to stop. Since you have only 3 numbers, try 5R-3L-2R-1L to stop. But your instructions are saying Right to stop, so also try 5L-3R-2L-1R to stop. Note that it is 5 times then 3,2,1. It is also possible that the comb is off a bit. And also possible that comb is for a another safe. And also possible...

Could you scan and post the actual instruction sheet you have?

Also could you post a close-up image of the lock dial?
