Just for fun does anybody know the one Main difference in these photos other than the different designs?

It appears that #1 requires a cylinder key and all the others, except #3 which doesn't seem to require a key, use a bit key.

Ooops, meant #4 has no key. Can't tell if 3 requires one or not.

And here I thought it might have something to do with how easily one could be "levered off by Pikeys". That's a good one Tom.

Well for a start (sorry Tom) none were made by Chatwood, these all barr one were Chubb manufactured The odd one out in of course the John Tann! being one which is the last one (far right) They all are quite heavy the two rotarys are well lumpy, and pretty secure in the wall Not sure which will become a sought after collecters item but pehaps if you get the chance all might be worth something one day.

Anyone else seen a bank looking like the picture which includes The Midland Bank trap?

[Ant]

Well Yes, many Chubb 2H night safe traps of this type were suppied to another well known UK High st bank though later modified without a solid bronze facia (cheaper to manufactor I supose) another one that I wish for a penny for everyone worked on
Regards to all
