Since the early 1940’s, the American Security Products Company (AMSEC) has been producing high-quality safes for its clients. Unlike most companies, they specialize in both domestic and commercial safes.
Due to their longevity in the business, they have continually evolved their safes and in the process improving security features on their safes.
AMSEC produces four types of locks for its safes. While the locks appear similar, each safe has a specified turning sequence for the tumblers to be activated and open the lock. Therefore, each safe will have its own procedure of unlocking.
Therefore to open an AMSEC safe, you have to; know the type of lock on the safe and the procedure of opening the specific lock by either entering the correct code on a keypad or turning a dial on a combination lock.

The following are the four types of locks used on AMSEC safes and the procedure of opening them.
Group II Combination Locks
These types of locks are essentially normal combination safes. They have a dial which a user uses to enter the required code for the safe to open. However, they differ from other combination locks as they have a procedure to be followed when turning the dial.
The following is the procedure for opening AMSEC Group II Combination Locks:
- The first step involves turning the dial anti-clockwise for four revolutions and then stopping at the first number in the combination at exactly the 12 o’clock spot.
- Next step involves turning the dial clockwise for three revolutions before landing on the second number in the combination
- Next, you turn the dial anti-clockwise for two more revolutions and landing on the third number in the combination
- Lastly, you turn the dial clockwise slowly until it stops on its own and the lock opens. Turn the handle and pull the lock’s door to open
