1: Build the walls of the safe, and add the door. Do it with bricks with one in width. Be careful when building the walls, because you need to loosen the openings between the 4x2 bricks everytime, to get the bars between them. If you loosen them, don't pull them out of eachother too far, because then you'll break a rotor! And repairing is hard as you can hardly reach the rotors after a while. So contstantly keep checking if the rotor pieces are still together, because later on, you won't be able to reach the rotors at all and you can't repair them; so you don't want them to break them due to weakening during this step.
2: Place two layers of plates on it. Plus a holed place for the stave to come through. And leave a 2x2 gap around the axis between rotor 1 and the dial.
3: take a 4x2 plate and place two flat round plates under it.
4: Slide it on the stave.
5: Change the composition of the springs like this! In my first design, there was so much pressure, that the door would fly open fast, but it would fly off aswell. So if you like that, you can keep it the way it is, but i recommend to chache it like this. The connection sticks on the bottom are both moved one hole to the outside, as well as the black connection sticks above it. The spring are upside down, so that the grey solid part touches the black sticks - if the spring part touches the black stick when compressing, the movement may stagnate.
6: In the door, place a flat 2x1 tile, to let the opening of the door run more smoothly.
7: It's finished!
8: Optional: If you have lego crocodiles, you can place them on top of the save, to scare lockpickers off.
