How to Open an Old Sears Safe

Old Sears safes have a combination dial variety due to their age; safe dial pads are a new technology. Combination dial safes follow a pattern that consists of several dial turns to specific numbers that are safe specific. Utilizing this standard information, you can pair your combination with the proper dial turns and gain access to a safe. You should, however, only attempt to gain access to safes which you own to avoid legal repercussions
