I agree with all the comments, this guy is truly instructional. The directions that came with the lock are useless. He helped through two spots that could have been bad. Thanks I have been wanting change this lock back a dial for some time.

Perfect presentation. Helped me install new lock after experiencing some issues. Wish all help videos were done this thoroughly. Thanks

Was having issues with lock so I followed your instructions & reset combination. Works like a charm! Thanks so much

This video was perfect. I watched it a few times and just paused it as I completed the steps. Nice job making this and explaining the steps!

Just installed one of those on a safe today , follow his instructions and you won’t have any problems, the written instructions were not bad ,but he shows an easier way to set the combination .

Fantastic video. Extremely thorough, yet doesn't drone on unnecessarily.

This video is fantastic! Very professional and explicit. It leaves no margin for error. I can only wish that most how-to videos on KZread were this well done. God save us from the amateur who is trying figure it out as he films. ~JSmith

I have been trying to set the combination on a new 6700 series lock for a couple of frustrating days. The printed instructions are just flat out wrong. I found this video and on my first attempt I set the combination. Very good video.

Very well made video. Could not ask for a better tutorial for this task. BRAVO ZULU.

Excellent instructions thank you. I just converted my S&G electronic keypad lock to this mechanical dial lock. I had no problems with the switch and setting the new combination thanks to your video.

Thank you! I used your instructions to replace a digital lock and keypad with an S&G 6730-112 combo lock. The S&G has a very solid feel to it, dial rotation is VERY smooth, its batteries never go dead and its ribbon cable won't short out.

Superb video! Thank you for sharing your substantial expertise...couldn't have swapped out my safe lock without this video.

Just replaced a damaged lock on my safe with an S&G 6730-100. This video was amazing and everything went perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this instructional.

switching a lock at USPS. this is the video i needed to see to confirm i can do... easy...

This video gave me the clue as to why my safe was opening about every 6 or 7 attempts. Turns out two of my numbers were on the upper end (or off the upper end in one case) of the +/- 1 number tolerance. I was able to find the middle of each number with multiple trial and error tests. I readjusted two of my numbers to be in the center of this allowed tolerance. The safe opens every time now!

Time to watch this video again a year later. I'm going to change my electronic lock with a S&G

Thank you very much! If anyone watching this has the Tractor Supply black Friday Cannon safe with the POS NL electronic lock, do yourself a solid and get this lock. You do not need to pay a locksmith! Easy swap. After using the change key and setting your combo, turn the dial slowly right to unlock. Maybe it was covered and I somehow missed it, who knows but I thought it wasn't working. I thought my handles did that. My safe had holes for face plate but they weren't threaded. No big deal, I tapped them with a 10-24 tap and ran 2 screws that size, which is a little bigger than what was supplied. I'd also like to add that Cannon is the worst company I've ever dealt with. Customer service is piss poor. The NL electronic lock is the single worst item I have ever had the displeasure of owning. I award them no points and may God have mercy on their souls.

Great instructions I just converted my electronic safe to mechanical today and went very easy although it was scary at the same time. Thank You

What was terrible about it? It was very informative and well done.

I always wondered how locks were set after install. How do your locks stand the test of time or do rely on the safe manufacturer to design a door that prevents access to the tumblers?

What's the purpose of the four slots in the drive cam? If you put the spline key in at a wrong slot it would just change your code but this could be fixed with changing it later. Also the hundred numbers are dividable by 4. So also no trouble with fractions of a number.

I guess you can use the brass spindle instead of the dial ring alignment tool or just make your own. I'm going to use a threaded rod, nuts and washers and make my own. The spacers he uses must have an exact outside dimension, so I'll just use washers and nuts and just center everything.

Manufacturers can make the door of safes 3-4 times stronger by beefing up the steel where the door bolts retract in and out from. Instead of using the thin metal inside even though ones safe door may have a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch plate steel on the front use 1/4 to 1/2 inch steel within the door bolts frame where they retract from, that way if one is actually getting a pry started, the bolts won't bend the thinner metal that the bolts are housed in or retract from. I know most attacks are from the sides and not the door, though imagine the PEACE OF MIND with that added steel within the door.

If you have a Cannon Scout 24 or 42 Gun Safe you're going to be in for a Huge Pain In The Arse. It's like Cannon made these purposely so you can't get away from the Electric Lock, but it is doable if you don't mind the dial behind the lever. A Grinder, Carbide Drill Bits, and a Engineering Degree with a Machinist Background is definitely a must.

Even though my safe is not an anti-Liberty I'm changing the electronic lock to an S&G mechanical. Better "safe" than sorry. EDIT: I followed this video and installation was straightforward. I didn't have the alignment tool so I had to just keep nudging it back and forth until the dial spun freely.

I have an older Herring- Hall- Marvin safe about waist high with a S & G combo lock I have had the safe for years, and this fat kid about 13 was pulling up on the handel in my pool room and now my combo is now working right at all, like one time you can turn the dial to where the fence will fall into it's notch on the wheel and let's say that's 27 right we'll the next time you try it it may line up to 43, all 3 do this, I have never had problems with my safe til now.... that safe is needed to store strong pain meds in, sure need some help with this problem, thank you very much, jeff

followed instructions but cant get the change key notch pass the cover. pretty sure everything is aligned properly, any ideas.

In the video the part with the hex/Allen key describes how to reset the wheels when the combination is not known. The big danger in these types of locks is rotating the change key when it is not fully through all the cams as some of the clutches may remain unlocked. This is why it is important to only use the change key with the cover on and make sure the flag goes all the way in. A competent locksmith should be able to realign the cam clutches if they are out of synchronisation but a replacement used lock may be cheaper. I worked out the problem I caused and how to fix it after working on my first ever dial combination lock for a hour without help from the internet so it can be done if no parts are bent or damaged.

Thanks! Mine is so stiff its hard to turn especially for about 1/3 of the rotation either direction. Is this normal?

The best thing about mechanical combo locks is there is no ''back door'' to the lock or battery's. Unlick digital locks most of which have a built in factory code.

I had a situation where someone got my combination. So I bought a key and changed it,.... then about 6 months later I went on vacation,....... and when I returned it would not open? It looked like it was beat with a rubber hammer. About 3 months later I got it to open. Liberty sent me a replacement,...It didn't install right it felt wrong no matter what I did? And it would only turn about 1 turn and stop? So I Bought a Sargent&Greenleaf off Ebay,...it was worse and wouldn't work. It acted like it was bent? but it was the same one off the other one. So 2 turned wonky tight loose sloppy,... and you put the original one on,... and it was smooth as ball bearings,...it just don't open I also noticed the lock housing were hard to install becauce the housing bolt patterns were kind of tight and cocked the housing a little. So the original was better than the new ones. No matter what I did they did not turn smooth...but the original did.

Excellent video, was able to get my lock installed on the first go. I do have a question, after my last number, when I turn the dial to the right to hit the stop before opening the lock, it doesn't stop at 90, but rather at 50. Have I done something wrong here?

Separately. You dont need it. Its a one time use tool, basically.....for $100.00.

The pin on the relock bolt I think has broken off my safe. I can unlock the lock and go 5 past zero on the right fourth turn, which means the lever fence has dropped in the drive cam gates, the lever nose engaged to lift the primary lock bolt. But the main safe door bolts still can not be turned and remained locked, indicating to me that the relock bolt has deployed, locking the main bolt cam. So what do I do? Blow torch? This does not appear to be a problem a locksmith can handle.

Not sure what lock you have but it doesn't sound like the lock bolt is fully retracting. If so it could be that the internal lock case relocker has fired due to loose lock case cover screws. Try smacking the safe door outside the dial ring area with a dead blow hammer while trying to gently turn the dial further to completely retract the lock bolt.

Use this to install a dial lock that replaced a pos keypad. Video was great but I think I screwed the dial in too tight.

When you put the lock back together use a new spline key. Do not pull the old one out and attempt to re-use it.

And no one has a video explaining the direction the lock is in. Is it based off looking at the back of the lock or the position it would be if you were looking at the door. Up and down is a no brainer. Because I did all the steps perfectly but when I try to change my combination it doesn't work

I've gotten to the combination set part and have been stuck here for hours. I've done everything the video has instructed and the lock "bar" will still not release, no matter what combination I try to choose. Lining up the dics or "wheels" inside the lock is paramount to insert the change key. Following the written instructions makes this impossible. I'm at a point where I will have to leave my safe unsecured with THOUSANDS of dollars of firearms and materials inside.

You don't have the change key turned properly. Usually happens when you try to change the combination the back of the lock off.... Or the change key hole on one of the wheels if not in alignment with the others which means that while 2 of the wheel are in combo changing mode one is turned in the other direction.....again, usually done when the back is off...

Even though it is conventional to begin dialing to the right for the first number -- shouldn't it be true that one other working combination will exist that begins in the opposite direction?

On these locks the plunger is retracted when turning clockwise/right and the cam gates all have to be aligned before that. So for a 3 wheel lock you get L-R-L-R and a 4 wheel lock it would be R-L-R-L-R .
