All,
New member here. Fascinating articles here.
I have an old American Steam Safe Co safe that has and opening problem. I have the combination, and it does open, but the bottom locking pin doesn't seem to retract fully into the door when opening. Its really hard to open. I have to kind of jerk and pull at the same time.:x: Any input? I don't really want a safe tech to complete as I don't really want to spend any money on it and I would hate to trim the bolt and butcher up this old safe. I am although very handy and think I could figure it out by taking off the back panel, I just don't what I would be getting into if I do.
Any history on this safe would be great as well. Age?
Thank you,
