Frank, Great recommendation regarding Just Safes in Orlando. Before bringing my safe in, I stopped by to hear what might be said. Alberto, the owner, brought out a mechanical lock to show me the possible causes behind the wobbling. He then spent an hour with me talking shop and showing his...

Thank you so much for your feedback. Now that I think about it, the dial moves like a "clown car" wheel. Now I'm no expert with mechanical locks but I can see that the centerpoint of the dial is fixed along the axis of the spindle. This might suggest that it's a misaligned dial and not a bent...

I recently got a “great” deal on an Amsec CSC 2517 safe that a distributor was trying to unload because it had been sitting in their warehouse for 3 years. Although I didn't have the opportunity to inspect it, I was told I would be buying a new safe. Unfortunately, after it was delivered, I...
