How to Open Mosler Combination Locks

The Mosler Safe Company, founded in 1867 by Gustav Mosler in Cincinnati, makes locks, safes, and bank vaults, including the vault at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where the United States government stores gold. Mosler combination locks attach to the door of a safe or other container or piece of equipment that needs to be kept secure. You will need to know the combination before you can open the lock.
