How to open internal doors/key lock on old Victor Safe

Postby Nic92+ » 22 Sep 2017 17:36

I have an old Victor wall safe with combination lock on external door. It's open now there are intal doors that have a key lock that I'm trying to open (needless to say I don't have the key).

Much thanks in advance to how I get these doors open.

I'm trying to upload image of the doors, looks like I need to download app to get them posted

Are you on a smart phone or a real computer? Just go to imgur.com and upload a pic, make it private and share the direct link here, no actual need to use the app, just use your browser

So here are the photo's on the interior double doors and lock.

Being an vintage lock I'm assuming a fellow member can assist.

Thanks

Still can't see any pics. That said, it is very likely a lever lock using a flat steel key. It will need to have a key impressioned. There is a thread on impressioning different kinds of locks here. If you scroll down past warded and wafer locks, there is a section in lever locks. If you look at the first picture in that section, you will see the kind of lock I suspect is in your Victor safe.
