Hi, my name is Uriah Ortiz, and today
we're gonna discuss how to properly dial in your safe combination into a manual
dial. Although there are many different brands and dial patterns depending on
the manufacturer this is by far the most common
dialing pattern out there. I would even go as far as to say that 90% of the
manual safe dials out there use this dialing pattern. So I have a training
dial here: a manual dial has a cutaway where you can see what's going on in the
inner workings on the back. I've written down the combination: The current
combination, which is 69 22 51. And then I wrote down the number 98 off here to the
side. Some people think they have a four-digit combination, because the last
number is written down, but that's just the final spin that we make just happens
to end on 98. So I wrote that down just to show you, because some people think
they have a four-digit combination when the last number really doesn't matter.
It's just where you do your final spin where it stops. So here's the pattern:
left-right left-right, four turns, three turns, two turns, one. So:
69, I would turn left. Let's go ahead and go through this. Here's your information.
So, I'm gonna go left at least four full turns, right? So I'm going to do at least four on the first one it doesn't matter how many at least four though. So, we're gonna stop
on 69, which is right there. Then we're gonna go, the next number is 22, I got to
go right. I got to pass it twice stop on the third time. So I'm gonna go right
past 22 twice. Stop on the third, once, twice... and stop on the third. Now I'm
using the twelve o'clock marker to dial in my code. The 11 o'clock is for
changing safe combinations, and we'll discuss that in another video. So I'm on
22, which is the second number, the next one is 51. I need to go left and pass it
once, stop on the second time. So, 51 going left. So passed it once immediately, and
I'm gonna stop on 51 there... And then the last step: is to dial it right one turn,
and it's just gonna happen to stop on 98. So I'm gonna go right, and then the fence
will drop into the back and engage. So right, I'm just gonna turn it,
and it engages. As you see, it's the fence that was engaging. It falls into place
when all the wheels line up. That fence falls into place, and throws and retracts
the bolt. So, that's how you dial in a safe combination. Again, it's left-right
left-right, four turns, three turns, two turns, one
turn.
