Swing the door open and look for a rectangular box ~6" or 8" wide x ~4" or 5" high. On the subject of time delays and related mechanisms, many large chests have two or three movement time delays, and a broken mainspring or other malfunction in the delay case can preclude bolt retraction. There is only a three minute window to retract the lock bolt, though. In that scenario, you dial the combination normally, set an egg timer, and at the end of 15 minutes retract the lock bolt and then throw the main boltwork. When you first turn the combination dial, do you feel a drag, as if you’re winding something? If so, the combination lock is fitted with a time delay, which may be 15 or more minutes. That being said, the bolts have to be fully extended, as partial drag on the combination lock can prevent complete retraction of the lock bolt, which then interferes with retracting the main boltwork. ![]() I’m going to presume that the bolts are presently extended, because you can dial the combination.
