I have a Champion safe. It has a dial ... no keypad, no batteries ... simple ... manual.
Issue
My wife has a devil of a time getting the safe to open. She can only get the safe open about 10% of the time. It has been this way for a long time now ... maybe a couple years. It's hard to tell since she rarely gets into the safe. I'm the one that usually rummages around in there.
I get in to the safe about 99.99% of the time on the first try. If it doesn't open for me, I chalk it up to just missing a number or counting wrong on the turns. I'll get in on the very next try. Well, today we headed to the safe to try and figure out what she is doing wrong. She has the correct numbers and she has the procedure correct but she can't get it to open for her. I watched her closely and she's got it down pat. The only difference I could tell is that she's a little bit slower than me since she checks the numbers closely as she's hitting them to make sure she doesn't blow past a number. In addition to being slower on the dial, she uses two hands. Well, here's the kicker ... when I went through slowly to try demonstrate the procedure to make sure she has everything correct, it wouldn't open for me about half the time. When I went back to doing it at normal speed without thinking about it, it opened every time.
