![]() IF THERE IS A RELOCKER MECHANISM BLOCKING THE BACK PLATE ON THE LOCK, STOP. Sometimes they are attached to the lock by one of the four screws in the corners. Sometimes these attach to a plate that attaches the lock to the inside of the door. ![]() This mechanism will release a pin to jam the locking bolts in place if a thief tries to hammer the lock out of place. A good safe has a mechanism called a relocker. It has a screw in each corner and a small hole that looks like a keyhole. You'll see a brass box at the back of the combination dial. The hole is there to give you a place to grab to lift the liner out of the frame. If there is a plastic plug in the middle of the liner, pull it out. Some liners have to be lifted, then pushed in at the bottom so they can be lifted out by the top. This will not "reset the combination." The person who told you that is an idiot. Pull the liner out of the inside of the door. Si Si!––––-note my edit above regarding leaving door OPEN until you're sure the damn thing works. If you're concerned that you might inadvertently move something, causing the combo to be lost, before you do anything, order the "Re-setting Key"- I got mine from a local safe co., as I bought my safe used and wanted to re-set my combination- instructions are on the S&G site- Whatever you do, do NOT introduce graphite into a mechanism already gummed up with old lube.ĮDIT TO ADD: After cleaning and lubing, before replacing interior door panel, test locking mechanism with door open (Set handle to lock position, spin dial- then follow usual procedure to un-lock) if it all goes well, you can then button it all up and you're done. You do NOT want to manipulate the mechanism in any way while you do this- you should be then good to go. What you might do is take the panel off- use WD40 (Holding a towel under the lock box) and flushe the mechanism really good- then use a hair dryer set on low to dry it all out- you might find the lock works just fine after doing that, but you can then introduce lube into the lock mechanism. Taking the interior panel off the door won't affect the locking mechanism at all. Graphite is for KEY-type locks- NOT combinationlock mechanisms- S&G recommends liquid lube. ![]() Could you use one of those ear wax removal bulbs with the graphite inside of it.
