here is the trick for you. on a RLR combo- run the first number dead on to set the mechanism, on the second number run it to 1/2 to 1 number past what it you should be ( ie if the 2nd number is 56, run it to almost 55) then run the third number to the R run dead on. then back to the opener #

My dad's had this problem once, had the lock mechanism replaced. I'm assuming yours is like ours. It went like turn clockwise 4 turns and stop on # 56, then counter clockwise 3 times and stop on 20, then clockwise twice and stop on 49, then go counter clockwise and you will feel it unlock.
When ours was doing this i would do the 1st two numbers like always, then on the last one i would turn it back and 4th a quarter turn or more back and forth pretty fast and it would usually work.
Hope that makes sense

You prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3 in 1 oil and some gauze pads. I'm going to need some about 10 quarts of anti-freeze--preferably Prestone. No. Make that Quaker State.
Only problem I ever had with a mechanical combo was resolved by entering combo and on last number chingalaying the handle back and forth lightly 20-30 times and shazam she opened. Good luck. Have had nightmares with keypads but not mechanicals.
