Old Mosler safe with locked inner door, what type lock.
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2019 2:54 pm
Hello:
I am new to this. I have a small safe collection but this is my first locked safe.
I thought that the unlocked outer door would give enough clues to figure out the inner door but after 6 hours of dialing and 6 hours reading I have not advanced much.
I am fairly sure that the two locks are not similar (outer is direct opening with fence pushed up from the bottom, (3) wheels)
Inner (locked) door does not seem to have any wheel drag variation when pressure is applied to the handle.
I have found lots of tips on this website and others, for me to try things.
If I was more confident of what type of lock I am working with I would be far ahead of where I am now.
I was beginning to think I had a friction fence type but now I have my doubts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
