Liberty Safe - Manual Lock Opening Instructions; Verifying the Combination

Owner Use and Care Manual
MANUAL LOCK-OPENING INSTRUCTIONS (FIRST TIME)
The combination lock on your safe has been set randomly at the factory. Most safes
come standard with a key-locking dial. To unlock the dial, insert the dial key and turn key
a half a turn clockwise. Turn the dial to the right (clockwise). The dial should stop at
about "87". Turn safe handle and open door. With door open, you can now verify your
combination.
A Ifthe dial does not stop at "87" and continues to spin freely, the lock has
been activated and you will need to VERIFY THE COMBINATION (see paragraph,
below) with the door closed.
EXTENDING BOLTS BEFORE VERIFYING COMBINATION
It is preferred to verify your safe combination with the door open. If there are problems,
it is easier to service the lock or mechanism with the door open. Before verifying your
combination, you will need to extend the door bolts while the door is open. Most safes
are equipped with a "bolt detent" mechanism that keeps the bolts locked in when opening
the door. To release the bolts, reach down underneath the door (bottom-inside-middle)
and locate the "bolt detent" rod. Push the rod in and keep it held in while turning the
handle. Extend the bolts all the way out until they stop. Keep door open.
VERIFYING THE COMBINATION
With the bolts extended and door open, you can now verify your combination. The lock
requires accurate alignment with the index mark (located at twelve noon on the dial ring).
Always turn the dial slowly and steadily when entering your combination to avoid dialing
past your numbers. Never spin the dial rapidly back and forth as this may cause
damage to the lock. If you go past any number - even if by only a half a number - the
entire combination must be re-dialed. To verify your combination, follow the five steps
below. Copy your combination numbers from page 2 to the spaces below.
