    I am looking for a dial that numbers o to 160 to go on a Wm W Bacon 3 wheel safe lock.

    I never heard of dial going 0 to 200. My best guess if you have safe or lock to post picture......Timothy

    the dial I need is 0 to 150-not 0 to 160.

    is there a shop that could make one?

    I'm sure a good machine shop could make you a nice repro dial, although for two and a half years (Aug 2016) you wanted one numbered 0-160, you changed that to 0-200 on 5th March 2019, and now five days later it's changed yet again to 150 ???!!!

    HUW was right as should be some machine shop can make it. Mean you have to shop around to find whoever will make it. Remind you that it going to cost lot of money to do this. I remember a while back there use to be this guy from Los Angles have shop he sell part for all kind of safe. Now that he pass guess they sold it to someone else or shut it down. To bad as can find very many safe part for any safe. Good luck and let us know how thing go....Timothy.....

    That was the wonderful Bob Stabley from L A Safe & Vault. Don't know if someone took it over or not.
