Old safe lock restored

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Nicely done. I enjoy seeing old broken things fixed up and working again.

What are you heating and why? Are you welding something or straightening it? I can't tell what it is from the picture.

Cheers :)

Nice repair, when I first saw that I though it was a reverse action one, whoever opened that originally certainly wasn't picking it :cry:
