safe combination

Lock's secret sequence

A safe combination is the sequence of numbers or symbols that opens a combination lock on a safe.

The combination must be entered in exact order, typically by rotating a dial: She memorized the safe combination but never wrote it down.

The phrase also appears in heist narratives where cracking the safe combination drives the plot.
