Wher;e can I get the list of materials, diagrams, code and other important parts to buand would build this thing. I am a locksmith and would like to know more. Thanks for your time.

The Mas X-07/08/09 was designed to detect mechanical motion. I know people who know the combinations to them and can't open them because of their dialing methods, and after . They have three modes of operation, one allows access by dialing a six-digit combination (xx-xx-xx), one allows access only when two separate codes are entered within 40 seconds of one another, and one allows access by a subordinate’s code only after a supervisor’s code has been entered. Additionally, they have a full complement of auditing features, including a non-resettable record of openings and an unsuccessful attempts record (audits after 3 unsuccessful attempts) that resets once the proper access code is entered. 10-14 errors results in a 3 minute time out, 15 errors or greater results in a 4 minute time out. The error count and penalty time resets with valid combination. All of this is built into the lock, no external reader is required. Want a real challenge, build an automatic dialer that can open one within 20 man-hours.

It doesn't seem intuitive to me to do the phone keypad mapping, but that would make a great first pass of combinations. The reason we spent so much time thinking about combination space optimization is that we thought the dial would seize up after something between 20,000 and 100,000 combinations. We had to turn the safe on it's side and let some lubricant drip down into the lock to loosen it up after the first 5,000 or so combinations were tried. @David Schuetz That’s a really clever idea.
