How can you obtain a replacement lock for a gun safe with a manuel lock?

Take the key code to the locksmith (not a hardware) and they should have a replacement key for you. You can also order replacement locks I found homakkeys.com they seem to carry some gun safe locks....

no it is not I second the statement. NEVER use graphite on a combination lock on a safe. If your dial is hard to turn, you most likely have an internal mechanical problem - be smart and call a safe...
