Winchester gun safe not opening.

I’m tired and have been dealing with crazy people all day, call me tomorrow and I’ll try to help you get it open.

Pm me a picture of the lock please.
I got it to open. I put my combo in about 30 times in the last two days. I finally started trying to take the dial off and it didn’t want to come off. I tapped on a couple times with a hammer to try to loosen it up and decided to try my combo one more time and it worked.
 
I have a classic combo lock on my Cannon safe because I didn’t trust the electronics...but I have to make at least a half dozen attempts on it before it will “catch” and open. I’m guessing even the mechanical ones wear out at some point. It’s a real pain in my rear end.


They wear out quicker the faster you turn them. Always turn them slow.
 
That sucks, that's what always scared me from a electric lock. I talked to chucks in WR and they said they heard of about 6 going bad. My buddies went bad within the first few months. They had to replace the door to install a combination lock. Supposedly you can go to a combo to a electric without changing the door but not vice versa. That's what the technician told him and that's what they did. It was all covered under warranty.
