The revenge of the safe.
A few pics I took of a door and frame I tackled out of a basement in Barkley Sq London a few years ago. Most metal I’ve personally seen in the walls. Luckily a demolition company was taking down the walls. I also had to take out 2 big Tann’s from inside the vault and a couple of bookroom doors.
This is also my first post, as I’ve just joined. So unsure how the pics are going to look as I just had to compress them 50% online to put on here.
Welcome to the forum.
The pictures turned out fine.
Welcome Dorien that's a lot of steel in there, don't envy you taking that lump out either! The door looks quite an unusual one.
Looks like a John Tann anchor reliance door.
Had no idea Tann's carried on the Anchor Reliance as late as that, I always think of the old stuff with brass fittings and makers plates. I can see the hinges look like tann's, but what's that welded box overlapping the door edge? Looks like it came off a shipping container!
Tann right enough - late Billericay - known as a Tann No.1 and later the 600ABP.
The attached without the clenching mechanism fairing and opposite hand.

Cheers safeman, I mostly saw a few Chubb and Chatwood Milner 3.5 and 5 inch branch bank doors so not that familiar with Tann's. Not as pretty clenching mechanism as Chubb and CM's threaded hand-wheels but obviously equally effective.
