Cannon Safe 40FBG Hard Plates
https://imgur.com/a/6bjti
On this large Cannon safe the hard plates are in a "pocket" welded to the inside of the door, to which the lock is then mounted. After drilling this lock I now have a question regarding the hard plates.
Are the hard plates replaceable or can they be "rotated" (front to back, or 180 degrees horizontally) to present a new clean hard surface to the next attempt at drilling the safe? My idea is to use an angle grinder to grind off the top of the "pocket" to gain access to the plates and then rotate them, If possible??
I can't tell from looking if they are removable or not and I don't want to do the grinding if this idea won't work.
Thanks,
Harry
