Initially, we have also puzzled over something, how to open the safe. But it is quite simple. Turn the lock in either direction until you feel resistance. Turn on from there in the same direction up to the first number (left on the list), which is on the attached list. After that, they simply turn in the opposite direction, up to the second number (right on the list) and pull slightly on the lock to open the door;) This Safe is a nice little gadget. have fun with it.
