My Gettysburg safe (Rural King Brand) is HARD to close but easy to open. What is the remedy? I have to push and push the handle to the right to lock it. After entering the code it opens easily.
Lots of safes won’t let you close the handle and lock it with the door open FYIIf I really wanted to know, I would open the door and then while the door is open I would lock the handle and then use the combination and open the door lock, if it opens smooth then it is not in the locking mechanism, if you have to do the same thing with the handle then you have something inside blocking your locking bolts from closing all the way. It also might be inside the door where the lock mechanism is located and might need lubing. Process of elimination!!

The locking bars hit the inner frame unless the door is shutInteresting...how does the safe "know" the door is open?
This thing on?The locking bars hit the inner frame unless the door is shut
Use a "quadrant" sort of gear on the locking handle, that would have an arm to stick a pin or bar into the gears of the combination lock..how does the safe "know" the door is open?
