This Chubb safe that I got, has dual lock capabilities. I have temporary fitted a Securam, and due to the flaws in this lock, I wanted to also deploy the original Kaba 9111 key lock as a second lock, and use it when I'm moving away from my home. But in daily use, I would prefer to only use the digital Securam for conveniance. Problem is, I cannot remove the key from the Kaba 9111 in the unlocked position. Is there a way to modify the lock so that the key can be removed while lock is open?

What do you mean with Kaba 9111? Your link doesn't work for me. Requires a google login. Do you refer to a Kaba Mauer 71111 President?

Sorry about the link, I don't know why it does'nt work. Yes, I ment the Kaba Mauer 71111 .

Two things prevent the removal of the key:

1) A nose on the bolt assembly
2) The asymmetry of the key hole

I don't see a reason why it can't be modified.

Stuff to be removed marked in red.

Great tip, thanks!

And check first if the key way of the safe is large enough.

Of course such a mod removes any insurance rating and should anything happen they won't pay out.

Martin, as far as I can see after dismantling the lock, the protrusion marked in your rightmost picture turns out to be the edge that actuates the bolt retracting plate, so it cannot be removed...

No, that is the green edge.

You're right; I stand corrected! Thanks again
