Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the UGEARS Model Safe Kit requires patience and meticulous attention to detail. Follow the included step-by-step visual guide carefully. While no glue is needed, some pieces may require gentle sanding for a smoother fit. It is recommended to have a small piece of wax or a similar lubricant (like a birthday candle or saxophone cork grease) to apply to moving parts, especially the toothpick axles, to ensure smooth operation.

  2. Turn the dial clockwise to the second digit of your combination.
  3. Turn the dial counter-clockwise to the third digit of your combination.
  4. Once the correct combination is entered, turn the handle to open the safe door.

To Close and Lock the Safe:

  1. Close the safe door firmly.
  2. Turn the handle to engage the locking mechanism.
  3. Rotate the dial a few turns in any direction to scramble the combination and secure the safe.
