York Ely-Norris cannonball safe with pie timelock

[oldlock]

Just to clarify - it's only this model, with this particular timelock configuration that has this issue when opening ..

I guess I don't understand your question since the only wheel pack on that door is inside the day lock.

Doug, I'm looking for what to do and what not to do. I want to know how extensive it is to take the door apart from the back, is it worth messing with? I really bought the safe to display with the intentions of possible restoration down the road, but it would be nice to be able to use it as designed. As you know, there isn't a ton of info on these safes or video via YouTube. You are correct, I'm not a locksmith by trade but am mechanically inclined. I'm not interested in having a locksmith drill it and scope it either, it'll just stay locked open. Any feedback is appreciated, Eric
