Oldfast wrote:For me it can, yeah. That's caught me on a few occasions.
Cost me lots of time. You had trouble with this at times too?
MartinHewitt wrote:Yes it has and I know one professional who thinks so too. With my last 3-hour-safe two numbers had a distance of only 4.

Believe it or not, that is the only Victor I've run into during
my winter travels... but I look forward to seeing more.
John...
We'll have to see what others think, but I agree - it sure looks like the
dial of a friction-fence lock. But, as my latest post illustrates, dials can
be deceiving once in awhile.
These locks will have a fairly distinct gear sound & feel to them.
As you turn the dial, do you notice the 'tick, tick, tick, tick'?
You shouldn't even have to put your ear against the safe to
hear this... but you could even do that if you need to.
btw; I don't know what the difference is between OC5 & OC9. Anyone???Johnny3baseball wrote:....I have been on and off with this safe for 6 months with a ton of hours invested in graphing, manipulation, and research.
Good for you! That's dedication! Doin' your homework. I call it 'Paying your Dues'.
I once spent 3 yrs on a lock, lol... so don't feel bad. So have you worked with any
other locks other than this one?
Anyway, tryn' absolutely verify the lock you have. If it is an OC9 or OC5...
I'm currently doing a bit of writing on these in response to another thread.
Would've been posted by now, but accidentally deleted it :/
When I post it I'll certainly shoot you a link. Maybe it'll help
