This is a disused safe sitting in my neighbour's loft. Hasn't had a key in living memory.

Does anyone recognise the keyway?

Any chance you could get a torch/flash light pointed in the keyway to light up the internals?

Cotterill.

usually the most basic type. 7 active slides. Vulnerable to self impressioning attack.

I just looked that up in Pulford. The so called "Climax detector" on pp 387 - 390?

The escutcheon certainly looks right.

Phillips & Son - what's this keyway hiding?
