   Hi there, The Cary Safe Company made some really nice safes, but I can't recall seeing a Vault Door, I'd like to see some pictures. Over the years Cary used several locks. The early locks were considered a "hand change" version. The use of screws in the wheels dictated where the combination would line up as the lock was dialed. Later on Cary used a Yale Y6 hand change lock. The Y6 wheels used an inner hub pressed into the outer wheel. The relationship between the inner hub and outer wheel would determine the combination number for that wheel. The last locks used were Sergeant & Greenleaf R6720 key change locks. A key was used to "unlock" the wheels, dialing the combination to a special index mark on the dial ring would set the combo. If the lock is the Yale Y6 version, simply dissassemble the wheel pack and reading each number locked in on each wheel, will give you the numbers for your combination. There will be an "index mark" on the inner hub that will line up with the selected number. Reassemble in reverse order. If the lock is one of the earlier Cary's or the later S&G lock, you will have to visually dial the lock to see where each wheel aligns in order to figure out the combination. The older Cary locks may have enough room to look through the "Fence" hole to line up the gates. The dialing sequence depends on the lock that you have and the number of wheels. If you have the serial number of the door It will help narrow down the actual lock that you have and the dialing sequence. The early hand change locks will dial up either direction but you must dial the combo that you get the same direction that you used to decode the lock, changing direction will change the combination! Hope this gives you a little insight. Above all else do not close and lock the door until after you have tried your combination several times and are sure that the door is functioning correctly. Hope it helps
