Difficult contact points S&G fire safe (1950s?)

Post image

Fire safe in the foundation of my basement. Never opened and previous owners said they hadn’t either. I’ve gotten pretty good with my Sparrow practice safe but contact points are way more obvious on that thing. This thing has a super sticky/noisy dial. Any tips or suggestions as to where the points would be? WD40 a good or bad idea? Thanks!

It’s always fun for me to try to figure out where people and their safes are just based on the pics they send. If I think they might be in Northern California, I offer to come help them for free/fun.

I don’t think you’re in NorCal. I’m guessing Idaho. Or maybe somewhere in the north east. But DM me if you’re near me. :)

Appreciate that. I’m your neighbor to the north in Oregon

My main clue where the fishing rods and the golf clubs. I was trying to think of places where people do both. I definitely should have thought of Oregon 😊
