I have the combination, but I forgot the order that it is supposed to be applied. IE do I start by turning left or right? How many times? then for the next number in the oposite direction, how many times, and same for the third number, how many times past the previous number. My safe is a Sentry S3470 purchased in 2005 from Staples. Bob Studebaker, Palm Springs, CA. 760-770-4583
