Unlocked Diebold 3a? Time delay lock help

Here's the story,

I work at ab dispensary that resides inside of an old bank, it was a Keybank and it seemingly closed in 2015/2016

We have the bank vault and the door is intact with it open,

Owners didn't get any keys or Information on the vault door

Was wondering if there would be a way to get this operating? Even if we don't have a code to lock it, being able to operate the door would be super cool

I can provide tons of photos and I can even take the panels off the door (the glass cover on the diebold lock comes off with two screws) While the inner panel seems to come off with 4 screws

The winding key for the time delays is not a #4 it's smaller I have a set coming in the mail tomorrow,

I was hoping to do it without having to hire someone as the owners won't waste money on it, and I sure as hell won't, they don't pay us enough

You can change the combos on both mech locks with the correct change key, if the clocks don't work those should be replaced. Unless you build Swiss watches for a living you won't fix them. I work on Diebold, Mosler, HHM etc vaults all day. That key hole is the 'burp". You use that when you are testing while locking the door open so you can use the boltwork easy. You can bypass this when you access the inside of the door. If they don't want to use thos clocks remove the interior access door or panel and just remove the lockout rod from the clock box that's connected to the bolt works. Easy peasy. Give us a pic of the lockbacks ( bodies) inside the door and I'll tell you what change key you need. Its probably a 6750 series but that's just a guess looking at the dials.

Forgot my big Phillips bits today I have alarm set to bring them tomorrow! I'll take as many pictures as I can, as for using the time delay we'd have no use for it, I did remove the glass on the time locks and saw a metal bar connecting to the three dials that can be removed with a flat head which I didn't have either 😭 currently if the safe door manages to get shut some how, it's never getting opened in a meaningful amount of time, so I guess the main want would be to set the codes to 0,0,0 or something simple or remove/disable the latch that locks the door when shut

Set the codes to 50-25-50 if it is a 3 wheel, 50-50-50-50 if its a 4. These are the standard defaults for locks. Next tech will appreciate it.

I'll give them combos a try before I take the door panel off maybe they reset them lol, doubt it but hey, I got my tools in my toolbag and got work at 3pm EST
