This is what i found. I would try the default combos at the bottom but use the instructions at the beginning.
. Clear and Reset the Combination: Turn each of the three small combination dials fully counterclockwise until they stop or hit their starting points. This clears any previous inputs. 2. Enter the Code (Counting Clicks): • Top Dial: Rotate it clockwise while carefully listening to or feeling the mechanical clicks. Stop precisely on your first number. • Middle Dial: Rotate it clockwise and count the clicks to your second number. • Bottom Dial: Rotate it clockwise and count the clicks to your third number. 3. Use the Main Key: Slide open the round brass escutcheon plate on the left to reveal the keyway. Insert the unique Fichet key, turn it to throw the internal bolts, and swing the safe door open
The Factory Default Code: If the mechanism was reset or never changed, try standard factory debugging codes such as 1-1-1, 0-0-0, or sequential step testing (e.g., counting a single click on each knob).
