Wait so. You are supposed to go past the last number until around 85-90? I think it was a 4 digit code as well if I remember right. So I spun it atleast 5 times. Well I spun it whatever direction I started way over what I needed as time went on.
Well yeah obviously.
So i don't know which lock you had, the comment I made above describes most of the consumer dial safe locks out there, but not all.
Yours may have been like what I mentioned, and the last number was 90 or something so people would dial it correctly, or it may have been a different design with drop gates where you dial all the numbers and stop on the last number. It may have been a start CW instead of CCW, there's a few different designs.
Spinning it lots of times at the beginning never hurts, it clears the wheel packs. Thanks for having a sense of humor btw lol
Anyway, yeah, they can be overly complicated and a business should have a keypad safe and good insurance. The tech or manager or whoever that showed you how to unlock the safe was a dick for sure
