Someone gave me an old safe with some numbers which might not be right. What I need is the rotation, can anyone help me out? There are four sets of double digits plus a key which is in the lock under the dial. Thanks

4 sets of numbers indicate a 5 wheel combination lock.
It will probably be
5L-4R-3L-2R
Spin opposite way till open
Key only locks the dial from turning.

If that doesn't work, tho not familiar with the brand, it could be the more common 3-wheel plus driver in which the 4th # is the driver stop point at bolt opening.
Try: 4 turns L (CCW), stop at 1st #. Now turn R (CW),
passing 1st # TWICE, & stop at 2nd #. Now turn L, passing 2nd # ONCE, & stop at 3rd #. Now turn R, DIRECT to 4th #,(the dial should stop there). If it works, you have to split the contents with me! (no, I don't want the spider).
