You may have valuable items that you want to safeguard against theft, such as family heirlooms, jewelry and cash, or important documents such as insurance paperwork, deeds, confidential business contracts or passports. You also might have sensitive materials that you want to keep unauthorized people from viewing. One option is a safe with a rotating dial that you lock, keeping its combination a secret. When you need to access the contents of your safe, you can open it by following a few simple steps.
Step 1
Turn the rotating dial of your locked safe four times counterclockwise until it points to the first number of your combination. Turn it slowly and stop precisely on the number.
