Known as the DRAT or Dial Ring Alignment Tool,I found that getting the dial shaft perfectly centered and lined up through the safe door wheel post is key to a smooth functioning dial.
When you select the proper positioning slot (top, bottom, right or left) for the drive cam key, it would be nice to have some thin shim washers, so you could tighten down the drive cam locking nut and not have to back it off a quarter turn, which sometimes makes the dial spin to fast.
Locksmiths have a special tool to align the shaft while drilling mounting holes.
