Sorry if this isn’t a good place! But if this question is OK, I would be very happy for any information anyone could give.
We were debating whether or not to replace the doorknob. (If we don’t, it obviously needs to be polished.) I think it seems unsafe for an exterior door but would love any additional information. Can’t quite figure out what they would have called this type of lock back in the day, so my google-fu has hit a dead end.
I have a family member w a liberty safe combination dial + key way — he asked if I could generate a key for his safe as he has none and does not know the combination. Safe is unlocked.
It takes Yale y13 key style which I have and I was wondering what the best way to decipher the key cut #’s to cut so the y13 would work. Is this possible? I doubt they’re universal and probably specific to each safe but just thought I’d ask. Thank you.
Just got a S+G cutaway lock and a book on manipulation, want to learn as our shop doesnt do safes, but noticed that(based on the book) it can take up to 4 1/2 hours to manipulate a safe! That is a LOT of time looking at graph paper. Anyone swear by this, or is it overall too time consuming? I put a huge amount of time into learning lockpicking and it paid off, but if it took me 1-2 hours to pick a lock you can bet id be busting out the drill every time.
Has anyone ever taken a safe job from these guys before? Do they pay on time and do they pay decently? I've been screwed over before by these companies that dispatch work out like that.

Hi all,
I recently came into ownership of this old Chubb Australia safe. Works fine, still has both original keys. Preliminary research suggests it’s from around the 1920’s maybe? Just wondering if anyone knows much about them, with regards to specifications, or any interesting stories and such. Cheers.
Just to clarify i am not a locksmith.
When putting all wheels to the left, i found a low point (most probably a gate) where my contact points closed in at the 68-71 area.
i then parked the first two wheels and only did the third, and the low point was still there, so i assumed the gate to the third wheel is somewhere at 68-71.
Currently having trouble finding ways to obtain the first two.
Hello, I have had this antique safe taking up space in my garage for over a year. I purchase estates and this safe came with it. I am fairly confident as well as the family I bought it from that it is empty but where would I begin on attempting to get it open?
I would love to save the functionality of the safe if possible, I think it’s a very cool – old piece.
