1: Lay down these plates. The 4x2 one with holes in it, is needed.
2: Add bricks like this.
3: And another layer.
4: Make another four of that, and stack them together.
5: Place 6x1 bars on these places.
6: Just a temporary plate to hold the brick where it should be.
7: Also a temporary plate, because those long holed plate break off fast without something behind it.
8: Maybe you already noticed you can insert the rotors in the frame. Also notice that their connection caps should point in the opposite direction compared to the frame's bricks!
9: These are the pins that will fall into the rotors. The one on the left is different because it will also open the door.
10: You need these staves plus connection element, to hold the pins you just made.
11: Take out the rotors again, for just a moment. First, from the right side, take the longer stave and slide it into the holes, and through the two small pins. Put the connection element at the end.
12: Now, form the left, slide in the smaller stave inside, through the longer pin. All pins should be above a 6x1 bar.
13: A little plate on the end to cover the stave.
14: Add holed bars like this. See the next two steps.
15: 3x2 plates to enclose the rotor's axes.
16: Add more holed bars and 1x4 plates. Not necessarily all bars need to have holes, see step 3.11 and 5.5 to see where there need to be holes, to hold the springs. I'm saying this because if you don't have a lot of holed bars, you don't have a problem. I filled this all with holed bars, because I will need a lot of grey bars without holes on the outside of the safe, and when I use those now, I could run out of un-holed bars when I need them.
17: Make two layers of plates on the back, leaving open the place of the last rotor's axis. I made the last face in black because I didn't have enough grey plates. You can cover the axis aswell, I didn't, because it's not necessary. Maybe you think that it would reveal the place of the 1x1 tab of the rotor, that's true, but it doesn't reveal the code. Because if you only know where the tab is, you don't know yet where the notch(the absent curved brick) of the rotor is.
