J & J Taylor Safe Cobination change

post your question in the public section.. Thats an old safe and I flat have no clues, but there are a bunch of safe guys there..

Don't need to worry about that..... the safe was drilled in the past and never repaired. We want to get the combo changed and working before we go to weld the hole shut and replace the fireproofing.

I don't know much of anything about safes but I can tell ya most of these guys here only play locksmiths on Usenet. 10 to 1 you can't find anybody than can give any type answer.

LOL he'll have to. Nobody here knows. That's something probably only an actual real working locksmith would know how to do.

So if you don't know much about safes, then just what are your credentials for judging if, and what kind of a locksmith someone may be?

I notice nobody has answered the question yet. Nobody on here answers much of anything in the way of locksmithing related questions except one or maybe two guys who look like they do it to piss off the nuts who think locksmithing or locksmithing wannabes are supposed to belong to some kind of secret club.

I just never seen one.. the brand name is immaterial its the DIAL that matters.. that takes more information.. its 'probably' either a hand change Yale, or a pin change.. but the 'key' part is interesting.. a picture would be nice.. but..

Oh I see your invitation has been accepted.

Somebody call me???? ;)

It's most probably a key change lock. (And not your average, run of the mill change key either!)

If the combination just needs to be obtained and not necessarily changed... best bet (for an amateur - other than getting a professional) would probably be to just remove the back cover, dial all the gates under the fence and write down what the numbers are.

Try the combination at least five times - in a row - successfully - BEFORE you close the door!

To change the combination of a J&J Taylor safe you need a combination Key that fits on the inside of the locking mechanism...

I have key, already removed lock from safe door, looking for instructions how to set or retrieve existing combination.
